separation anxiety

My rescue staffie mix Penny is my absolute world. She is so wonderful and has the best temperament but her SA and anxiety is causing me more and more stress each day. I’ve had her 3 months, and I know it hasn’t been long but we seem to take 2 steps forwards and then 5 steps back - is this...

Hi! We rescued a German Shepherd cross breed puppy at 5 months old. We've had her two months now and she's wonderful apart from her separation anxiety. She always wants to be with us and if we have to leave her at all, even for a few minutes, she cries and barks hysterically. We have cameras and...

Hi! Really hoping this might resonate with someone! Would really love some advice, because it's not typical separation anxiety. I have two chihuahuas, Frank (8yo) and Arnold (7yo), and they're lovely little well behaved boys. I put loads of effort in with them so that they wouldn't be nasty...

Hi. We have an 11 week old Jackapoo, who we have had for 3 weeks. He is doing great with command training, and is doing great with house training, and last night slept through the night for the first time which was amazing! However we are really struggling during the day. Since the day we picked...

Hi there, I'm Suzie, mum to Kenny, our 6 month old Cavapoo. He's generally great but, given he's our 'lockdown puppy', he does suffer from separation anxiety from me given I've been with him the most in our family, and is a bit naughty, climbing on furniture he shouldn't, chewing our coffee...

When Lady was around, my home was her second home, the same thing goes for Rocco. During this lockdown, it gets really lonely, it was like that as well before the lockdown situation and I am always alone nearly all the time. I've been thinking about adopting a dog of my own because I know now...

Hi All, Looking at getting a Large Munsterlander but the only thing holding me back is reading that they tend to suffer from separation anxiety a lot. Does anyone have any experience of this? Thanks!

Hi First I must point out that we have never owned a dog before and are complete novices at this, however did plenty of research before opting to bring a puppy into our home. We are a few nights into having our male Poochon at home, we purchased him from a licensed breeder, he was the last...

Hi everyone. More advice needed please! We are really not making progress with teaching our puppy to be alone. We've had her for nearly four weeks and if we so much as go upstairs when she is downstairs (behind the stair gate) she howls and whines piteously. I've tried going when she's...

Hi all, am hoping for some reassurance here or success stories with separation anxiety. We got a puppy 4 days ago from some family friends. Due to us moving from a flat to a house we waited until we had a garden so got her at 16 weeks old, they live quite far away so hadn't met her until that...

We have just welcomed a new female, 8 week old, Morkie pup, Elsie, into our home. Over the past couple of days I've noticed Elsie is very clingy. She has to follow you everywhere and sits at your feet when you stop. If she's tired she'll stay on her bed or in her crate no problem. However, if...

Hi I've a rescue terrier who is absolutely adorable. I've had her for four months. Training is going well, with one hurdle, separation anxiety. Which is why I joined. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had a dog and found a solution. I'll give anything a go.

My Labrador is almost 2. I’ve used a crate as she chews things when left alone for longer than an hour. She didn’t like it when she a pup, then I stopped using it as she was ok alone, then I moved house and she chewed lots when alone, so I got a big crate and she took to it really well, went in...

Hello all, just joined the forum. We are prospective minituare daschund owners and seeking as much info as possible. My wife and I have had a number of dogs, with our most recent being a rescue dog (mixed breed). She suffered terribly with separation anxiety and unfortunately she is not with us...

Hi all - my first post here - really hoping for some positive and helpful feedback. I have a 6 year old male Jack Russell cross (Toby) who had been badly treated before he came to me at around 7 months old. He has always displayed symptoms of separation anxiety. Recently he has shown an...
