Anyone had any similar experiences with anxiety in their pups. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I found Buddy just like this about 5months ago and he was 5.
There were bloody footprints all over the house and at every window
he could reach. He cut his pads on the brass door plate that I put there
to keep from digging the door apart and getting splinter's in his feet.
That was the first time he ever did this, this bad. He was totally wet
as well. I was frantic thinking he was going to give himself a heart attack.
Someone suggested trying Rescue Remedy. I did and it seems to work in
calming him down. You may want to check it out. It also comes in pet
form now, no alcohol. He's been ok just whines at times when I leave.
It's an all natural product used to calm a person or animal down.
I would also keep your pup in one room while your gone. It's terrible
to have to go threw this but it does happen and obviously they don't outgrow
it. Bud has never done anything so drastic before or after this one time.
It still bother's me to think he was so frantic to get to me.
I use the RR every morning by putting a drop or two on each ear and on his nose then treat him and run. I also now close two
bedroom doors so there's not much house to guard and pull
a dinning room chair close by the front door so he can't get to
the brass plate on the door. It's like baracading yourself out
more than in but you gotta do what you gotta do to keep them
safe and happy. (I hope)
