 spinning and barking when stressed
I have a pup who gets very upset whenever I remove the trash bag in the kitchen to take outside. She starts spinning and barking loudly and snapping at the bag.
I have also noted this behavior with a few other activities and there is no calming her until the activity I am performing stops.
Honestly, it is almost like a Jekyl and Hyde thing...she just really gets stressed out and starts up!
I know she hates to see me leave, and I have found that she is best confined in one room with toys when I go out. When I am getting ready to leave she knows it and starts this behavior, so I have started giving her a Kong treat ball which she loves...she stops the barking and spinning and goes into the bathroom willingly. She is fine until I return. No acting out at all.
Any ideas? |
