Royce has SA whenever I try to leave the apartment he would start crying and barking for about 20 minutes . I hired a dog therapist we worked on the problem for one month and he got better ( from 1 hour of barking and crying to 20 minutes) . But still this is a problem for me because the neighbors would complain so I have to take him with me everywhere I go . I would like this behavior to stop because there are places where i cant take him ( doctor's appointments...) . Moving to another building is not an option because the behavior wont stop . Did anyone of you manage to deal effectively with SA ?
and I head about collars that spray citronella and other devices that would would make a noise whenever thedog starts barking, are they effective ?
Please help this situation is causing me a lot of stress and anxiety ( it's not convenient whenever I have to go to the grocery store or to the pharmacy to take him with me .
