I'm so happy to hear that Buddy was fine when you got home, I was thinking about him and You of course all night. |
Could you crate him during the day as a precaution until you solve this? I would def talk to your vet about it. Also, I saw a toy that you can record your voice, but your voice only plays when your dog interacts with it. That might keep him distracted and calm. Good luck! |

Now this sounds like something I would try out. Where have you seen this? Voice activated sounds good. I would never crate him, it's been 5yrs, he'll go nut's. I'm not a crate person. I trained him to have full access to our home and I like it that way. He never touches anything. I also think by putting my nightgown on his blanket in the morning has helped him. I put one nightgown in the hamper at night to keep my scent on it from the clothes in there and take it out in the am and put it on his blanket. He's been laying on it I can tell because it's wrinkled when I get home. So far so good. I will look for this voice toy this weekend. Also RR should be here tomorrow. Thanks again. |
Have you thought about a pet sitter? Not a kennel or anything like that. But someone to come to your house and visit with him a couple of hours. Or even someone that's there all day. Preferably someone you know. Or even someone you know you can drop him off with. All of my puppies that I've found homes for have someone home all the time or when they are out of the house for long periods of time have a family member or really close friend that will puppy sit while they're out. For example there's a couple of couples that have my puppies that work opposite shifts so it works out for them quite well. It's something to consider. As with my babies my dad watches them when I'm out so they're never alone. |
maybe u can get a playpen and confind him; my dog stays there all day when i am at work; she sleeps most of the day and no panic attacks; she used to roam around before and used to get anxiety and eat everything in the house; until she got gastritis and the vet told me to confind her. it's been great. good luck |
When Maxwell has the house to himself, we have to contain him in the smallest room. Otherwise, he seems compelled to go room to room, window to window -- too much territory to "guard" I guess. He must feel safer with less space. I hope you can find a solution that works for you and your sweetie.:animal36 |

Maybe I should mention Buddy is 16lbs and would either eat his way through a mesh playpen or jump the wood one. He clears a 32" baby gate. LOL He's been in our home with free access for 5yrs. However, maybe closing a couple of bedroom doors would leave him with still lot's of room but less to guard. That's a good thought. Thanks, |

Thank you for your suggestion. I will close the bedroom doors and hopefully he will feel more secure. Thanks, |

Also, Bandit was our first dog and we obviously made many mistakes lol. He would hate being in his crate when we left and would cry...and cry....and cry. We just got Nala this summer and everytime we put her in her crate we put the radio on and it has helped SO much! I don't know if we did a better job of getting Nala used to her crate or she was just predisposed to dealing with being alone, but the radio helped A LOT. My friend also bought a few songs on Itunes for her dog, she calls it Raffi for dogs, and he does well with it.:animal-pa |
