My dog has separation anxiety – HELP!
I have an 16 month old German Shepherd. She is a wonderful dog – but
destructive when left home alone. When we crate her she claws and nuzzles trying to get out, resulting in a nose full scars and open wounds. We tried leaving her outside but she started eating the house trying to get in. Recently, we have been leaving her free in the house, and she has been good for quite a while, occasionally there will be a chewed up magazine or something but I can live with that. This past week however, every day I have come home to chewed up pillows. I'm afraid that my couch is going to be the next target. I'm having a hard time because we leave the poor dog home all day while my husband and I are at work. I can't blame her for being bored. She is a perfect dog while we are home - she just has this terrible separation anxiety. I'm guessing that the best solution is just to crate her and hopefully she'll stop injuring herself trying to get out, but I wanted to post my story to see if anyone can offer any suggestions. |
