But now this. He's a mommy's boy and only wants me home with him.
I've been leaving for 5yrs and he is getting worse instead of better.
Strange I think. |
Poor guy. I actually saw an episode of the Dog Whisperer the other day with a dog who had separation anxiety and he practiced by closing the door, and leaving the dog on the other side of it, but they would still sit there and whenever the dog would start his barking (which he apparantly did ALL day long while the owners were good in an apartment) Cesar would do his "cshhh" sound from the other side of the door and get him to stop. They would gradually increase the time away, first was only 3-5 minutes, then they did 10 minutes, then they did 30 minutes, etc. The dog is a "new" dog now they said. But of course, that's also with Cesar's magic and alot of practice on the owners part but maybe you could try to catch the episode! I believe it was some sort of a Rat Terrier that they adopted/rescued. I have it DVR'ed.
