Is it possible for you to get him pet of his own?

I really feel for your situation - it really does sound like you've tried everything. How disappointing that the training sessions didn't work...

I really wish I had some advice to offer you but it really sounds as if you've tried everything.

Here are some links to sites I found on this topic - I'm sure you've already exhausted all these measures, but it's worth a shot...

http://www.usask.ca/wcvm/herdmed/app...s/anxiety.html
http://www.wagntrain.com/SeparationAnx.htm - this article actually mentions about the dog sleeping with you, which I know you had mentioned in one of your previous posts as one of the trainer's recommendations - I guess the theory is that if the dog can survive sleeping without you during the night, that they are more likely to be able to survive the day without you as well.

http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/ou...n_anxiety.html - this link has interesting information on leaving "safety cues" for your dog when you are leaving...

http://www.metpet.com/Reference/Dogs...ty_in_dogs.htm

Maybe start from scratch again with the methods that the trainer recommended. I just hope you find a solution that works for you and Royce - I would really hate to hear that you've had to give him up. Good luck!

If the cat is not declawed(( NO WAY)) i love cats but they do like to play different than dogs. try finding someone with a pup or a pet that can play with you baby and take turns taking them at each other house. you would be surprise how many people would do this.

I had to leave CHloe at my girlfriends when she was a little one so I was afraid, grilfriend was understanding, we left Chloe in her crate and her dogs & cats to roam as they always did. Chloe was so interested wacthing everyone else, she did not mind being in the crate with the entertainment. She does well to this day in her crate there, even when I am there visiting. We are both afraid to let my girls run loose with her "hotdog" Maizy. It works well

PS I DID buy Sissy because of CHloe having sep.anxiety! That worked excellent, even better then the crate at Kay's house

I agree with supervised visits first. I had two very fat and spoiled cats before I got my yorkie. They weren't too fond of her at first, but they tolerate her now. John (yellow tabby male) loves playing with her now. Jo Jo (grey calico female) just ignores her and does her own thing. She is really picky and really doesn't like anyone except for me.

When I brought Bree home, I just kept them separated in different rooms until I came home. Then I would let them get together. Now the three of them run wild in the house all day, while the Lab puppy has to be in his kennel when we are not home.... I don't want my stuff chewed up!

I'm not so sure even with supervised visits it would work to leave them alone, for example, my 2 Yorkie's live together now for two and a half months since we brought Sissy home. I always left them in playpens, connected together but each in their own. Last week I decided it was time to leave them loose in the house when I was going to be gone less then one hour. Chloe snarled at Sissy as I was walking in today, guess she pushed Chloe too far, back to the playpens for awhile when I am not home Maybe I will try it again in a few weeks, hoping the sibling rivalry will end before leaving them loose together.
But an idea comes to me that if she could leave him in a playpen with a cover like mine, then he would be safe from the cats claws and also have company

I have 5 cats that i leave with my babies, they have their full claws and aren't cut. I had 3 of my kittys before my doggy babies and 2 after my doggie babies, ive have had no trouble at all, but as this cat hasn't been around dogs it might not be a good idea

Why don't you take your baby around the cat and see how they do get them used to each other then one day keep the cat when your home a couple of times and see how they do...My cats 3 of them are afraid of Bear & Lexie now, they tag team them....I feel sorry for the cats, but I know they can jump up on something to get away....lol
