Go out and again in the house without making a big fuss about it. Gradually he will learn to feel safe. Don't feel sorry when you go out, he can sense that. Just act casual and be patience.
You need to make him independent and not more attached to you.

I agree with the suggestion of consulting a canine behaviorist.

Have you spoken to the rescue? Do they have any suggestions for you?

I agree with you. Isn't that their job to place them where it is best suited for their needs ?

i beleive ladymom did not read my reply. there are 3 people home all day. he is very attached to "me" though, but if you read the "update" i posted, you will see it has been three months, and he is fine.

take care

What a sweet little face. So, glad to hear he is doing better.

boopster · 12-10-2010, 06:31 AM

I'm so glad he has relaxed and is a happy little fellow now. Im working with my little one who came straight from the breeder's home where she was never alone even once on her sep anxiety. So it's not only rescue dogs who have this issue.

After 2 months I'm just now beginning to see her panic be not quite so severe and I can actually leave the room for a couple of minutes before she gets anxious. I know what you mean about not making coming home an occasion because the first thing I want to do when I get home is rush in and make a fuss over her. I'm still not sure why that is a bad thing... If the dog can look forward to party time as soon as people come home but I'm trying.

yep, any dog can have it. weird how a puppy would have it though, i never heard of that, but then again, i thought puppys followed everyione around.
i hope it gets better for you, i know how stressful it can be.. i use to cry when i came home

I used to have a Shih zhu and she would have anxiety too. She was really close to my daughter and my daughter was in and out the door like a revolving door! Everytime she left, my poor dog physically got sick, she threw up and just layed around. She was so depressed when she left. I couldn't do anything with her when my daughter left. She was precious...her name was Molly. R.I.P.

I am so glad you gave him the extra time needed to adjust. He sure is cute.

poor molly, that is tough. maybe jobi would not be that attached to me if i did not hold him all day when i picked him up. we drove to niagara falls from toronto, and spent the day there. he was with me, and i was walking and holding him all day. so you have a yorkie now? how is he/she?

Buster Brown · 12-10-2010, 11:47 AM

I am glad to hear jobi is doing so well. My neighbor had 2 rescue pomeranians who have seperation anxiety. She got a DAP diffuser which has a pheromone which mimics the smell of a lactating mommy and it has really helped her dogs.

i think i was going to get that if there was no improvement, but i did not know if it worked for 2 year old dogs also?

Sammy Mommy · 12-10-2010, 04:38 PM

I'm glad that things are working out so well for you and Jobi. Glad that you rescued him. Wishing you both the very best!!!!!
