Hi all, I adoped an 11 month old terrier mix a week ago from our local humane society. His name is Wiley and he is a great dog except when left alone he ...
... Start over with the crate. Leave the door open. Keep his water in there, his food, and throw a treat in every now and then. If he likes toys throw them ...
Hi Kate, I am also "new" here, but not to terriers or dealing with SA and other training issues. I am a member of APDT and a Certified Pet Dog Trainer. I also...
Thanks for your reply Wanda. Re <<First off, is this truly Separation Anxiety, or does Wiley just not like being confined and isn't house trained?. >> I...
Wow, thanks for that wonderful email. I am battling a similar problem and getting quite discouraged. My Cody initally was howling and whining when I left;...

I have a new rescued dog with SA and Cullie, three year old who I thought/think is over SA. The new dog, Cody, will howl and yowl. Now I hear Cullie, after...
Marianne, If Cullie is the dominant dog, it may be Cullie's way of telling the new dog to be quiet. Dogs will correct each other's behavior. Or, it could be...
My dog, Jasper, has just been put on meds for SA. One of the factors was that Jinkies, his littermate who does not have SA, is starting to imitate Jasper's...
