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... |
Thats too funny, that's EXACTLY the play pen I got her!!! Thank u so much for ur advice!! I decided to practice some of it and it seems like is working..... I am letting her stay in the bathroom w a baby gate (until the play pen comes) while I am in the house w her... She cried a lot for about 30 minutes but I ignored it, I made sure she could see me every 10 minutes or so... And se got calm and quiet... Also when i left to have lunch w my friends, i made sure the TV was on.... It worked!!! Fingers crossed still works like that...
I tried the baby carrots and she hated it... Tried the peanut butter treats, no luck... Pineapples... Nada... So now im going to try the plain chicken breast treats... Thx for all ur advice... U guys are great!!!
