[Doodlebug]

When I met my husband he had an adult Lhasa Apso that had terrible separation anxiety all her life. She had it so bad she tried to chew her way out of the house when he left. She destroyed drywall, floorboards, the front door and her teeth. They were all broken off at the gumline from her trying to chew out of a metal crate. When we got married and brought her to my house with my 2 dogs, she never had an episode again. Her only mission in life became trying the be the new boss of my two dogs.

My Yorkies have some separation anxiety but we used to cuddle them and baby talk to them every time we left them. When we got home we would greet them, hug and kiss them and fuss over them. When we learned to quit doing that they have calmed down. When I leave now I just walk out and ignore them. They stay calm. When I get home now I let them out and tell them to go potty. I ignore them until they potty and by then they are calm. I don't know if they barked when when we were gone but we are in a house and no one has ever complained. I don't know if this will help any, but good luck to you.
