I'd recommend a technique I saw on tv: practice departures with her, but make your behavior more unpredictable. Get up, say good bye, then sit on the floor and read. Grab your keys, then get a snack. This should interrut her behavior chain as she gets worked up. "THEY ARE LEAVING ME! PANIC! Oh, wait." Gradually leaving will become less scary for her. |
That sounds amazing. I have had this problem with Daisy for 2 yrs now barking horribly when we leave as if she is scolding us! It is so frustrating and then she get Pixie going. I am going to try this!! I will let you know
