We have had Sprocket almost 10 mos now and are his 4th home, separation anxiety is something we work with ALOT, everyday. One thing that I have found that does work
sometimes is to take him for a walk before DH and I have to go out or be gone for a couple of hours. I bought an adj. baby gate at Walmart for $39 cause I have one of those open concept kitchens, I can close Sprocket in there, he can see out, is w/food, toys, treats, etc. AND, pee pads. After constant work and 10 months, it's still 50/50 on accidents. A trainer I spoke with about this said the accident probably happens within 10-20 minutes after you leave, he is so upset. And no help with the barking at all sorry, he's a barker, everything, everyone. And he can't be outside cause of 1. the neighbors and 2. the heat. While I'm home, good as GOLD, DH thinks maybe baby is spoiled too
maybe. Anyway, good luck it takes lots of patience, that's what I was told. Sorry for the long post.
