2) do keep her in smaller area, like you've tried (like kitchen or whatever) bc dogs can feel more secure when they have a smaller area to guard


In her case I don't think this will help. My dog went bananas and made a worse riot, for hours. I even think he had phobia of being enclosed. I know what she is going through and the best option will be to move to a corner apt if a house is out of the question. Most dogs quiet down after an hour or two but not my dog. I feel so bad you have to go through this since I know how stressful it is. Talk to the leasing office and see if they can tranfer you to a corner apt. Are they any townhomes, some of them are not cling wall to wall.

This might be an awful solution but I think it might be better than debarking. How about those things that cover their mouth. Don't remember the name of it. But it's normally put so they won't bite. One other thing, I used to sneak out of the house while she was entertain with a chew (I used the Himalayan one). It worked at times.
