@girlofgodscountry Wait... So, my dog, an SSA (ooo) dog, should not be in a crate because it creates more problems? I cannot leave the dog out lol...She will chew the doorknob (dumb smart dog she is) and broke some teeth because of that....deficates, urinates, destroys molding and doors and carpet lol.

@ldoubleh I agree that crating can be done in a very humane and healthy way....however, as a trainer and behavior consultant, I don't usually advise putting SA dogs in crates. It can heighten the anxiety and lead to bigger problems. That being said, from this video alone, I think this dog COULD have SA, but likely is just concerned about "Daddy" leaving - not in a PANIC that "Daddy" is leaving.

My dog just stares at me through the window whenever I leave - then gets destructive - its only been going on for a month and I see the vet tomorrow to talk about getting my dog on meds. He's a momma's boy and 'dad' is stationed halfway across the world.
