It sounds weird to me i think it takes a lot more to solve a separation anxiety problem . do you thing i'm just wasting my money ?
She recommended that Royce stops sleeping in my bed because from the way he looks at me she said he is very attached to me ????
IMO...I probably wouldn't waste my money on a therapist..Sadie was my first Yorkie..she started sleeping with us after about a year old...yes...she is very attached to me...I am her feed her,walk her, play with her,cuddle and love her. My husband works weird hours so she is with me ALL the time...She had seperation anxiety also...she would chew MY stuff! I always leave the tv on for her,(she likes animal planet! I just got a new puppy a week and a half ago...She wants my attention ALL the time. We blocked off our kitchen for her so she could have a good size area to roam in....litter box, food, water, toys and a cushy bed...I feel this area may be too overwhelming for her as she whines terribly when I put her in there. I now put her in a playpen...with toys,bed,pee pad and water...this seems to be better for her....Have you tried the tv? or radio? If nothing else works...Maybe get another furbaby!!
