Perhaps this isn't the ideal place to ask this question, but I know we have a lot of dog owners on here, and in the end, you guys always show the light at the end of the tunnel.
We adopted our dog, Jordy about 6 months ago. He was found at a rest stop in Texas so we are not sure of his past. He is potty trained, great with other people, kids and other dogs.
However, there is one thing that is a big challenge. His separation anxiety. It started off bad (chewing up house, escaping, chewing through cage, barking/howling) and we did everything in the books to try and help the guy. We've used medication, dap diffusers, thundershirts, you name it. I have used all these things a long with training.
Here is a video from today. I left for 10 minutes and set it on record. This is the last 2 minutes of while I was gone. (The first 8 were him just running around whining)
Has anyone dealt with this before? Will it ever change? Perhaps I'm just looking for some hope. It's definitely not bad as it was, but living in an apartment makes it difficult. We are using doggy day care right now for the 7 hours a day I'm at work (split shift)
Thank you for letting me vent.
