Avoid overly acidic treats as you may need to give a lot of them...
I have to note Mello Mut
MELLOW MUTŪ again (seriously they need to start kicking me some free product for all this promoting) Scoobers has major separation anxiety issues!
Have you tried leaving the TV on or a radio?
Now to be honest you need to work on the behavior aspect practicing leaving for short periods and showing you will come back etc. Please read up on various methods and exercises for people whom have dogs with anxiety issues-it won't just go away. The poster above me mentioned Blue Buffalo treats-they are good I prefer Zuke's Mini Naturals
Zukes Mini Naturals – Dog Training Treats, The Perfect Training Treat for Dogs as they are made specifically for small dogs-you may want to use plain old boiled chicken breast for treats if you are going to be giving a lot in a single time period.[/FONT]
So glad you got a play yard! If it doesn't work for you Target has a North gate 6 panel play yard in their baby section=it's cheap and worth a try because its easy to clean, I use the Best Pet soft sided play yard, if your baby escapes from the play yard you get try the target one I use a kennel (traditional hard plastics travel kennel) for my dog with separation anxiety-he's hurt himself otherwise...but now I have a room he can be free in so...
