So she had the owner start with baby steps. She would have the owner leave for a few minutes at a time and the gradually increase the time. Once the dog realized the own was coming back, her separation anxiety slowly began to dissipate. If you go to her website, I'm sure you can find something.
I put a webcam on Brandi and in the beginning she went through it although not as severely as your little one. Once she got used to my schedule she was find. Now she when I leave the house for work, she is sound asleep. |
Thank you for the advise on leaving her for short periods at a time and Victoria Stillwell's site as well. I will definitely be checking out her site this evening.
I have an iCam on my cell phone and have checked in on her many times in the past to only find her sleeping also. I think she just got so used to me being home with her these past few months, she's stressing out now I've been leaving her daily.

I have always left a TV on for her when I leave but I never thought of leaving a piece of my clothing. Thank you, I'll leave one of my shirts out for her.

Actually I just either saw or heard of the dog puzzles this past week somewhere. I do leave her with all her favorite toys but the puzzles sound very interesting! Thank you.
