Separation anxiety 2

Lil Girl rips up the carpet every time I leave. Even after scratching her paws on the carpet tacks she didn't let up.

I am telling you right now, my dog did the same thing. We tried to get him used to the kennel. Had to put him in it for 2 days in a row while I was at work and he broke 9 of his teeth! Now I might have to pay $2000 - $3000 to get them fixed, take him to training, pay for anxiety meds and everything. You need to get this fixed ASAP. I was told by my vet that lots of dogs get put down over this because it does not get better until you teach it to get better.

Wow! Lil Girl is back with her regular foster and she's gotten a lot better. She takes valium and I think something else too, plus her foster put treats around the apartment to keep her occupied while she's getting ready for work. She's gained weight but she's a happier, more relaxed dog. She still has problems, though.

maybe she is trying to dig her way out?? to go after you?? lol

yup, pretty much. they're pack animals and this is unnatural for them, poor babies.

made me want to put up a camera also, my dog has demolished 2 doors in our house, floors, posessions..and thats when he busts through the door of his kennel. hes an 80lb doberman.

Thanks for the idea lol

Trainers recommend a camera or at least an audio recording. If you live near a CVS, they have disposable video cameras that can record about an hour of video and you get a DVD from it. Post a link here if you upload it to youtube!

my dog does this too. hes riped a corner from or door and pees all over the house. when we come home, he cries for about 20 minutes nonstop and licks everybody. idk what to do about this. we leave foos, water, toys, and his bed 4 him, but he always acts like this.
