Hi everyone. In January of this year I adopted a 4 yr old beagle from a shelter. He adapted fairly well and is very quiet for a beagle. My parents have two of...

Haven't rec'd any emails so this is a test. I also have a question. I have a rescued 3 year old lab/beagle mix. She looks like a stunted lab...she's sooooo...
Hello, My name is Becky. I'm from California, and I've done a bit of showing and training in the past. I actually have a couple of "difficult dogs" in my life...
Well, I bought the book and when I received it, he had been better for a week. Just as quickly as the sep. anxiety came on, it left. But this week it has...
Hi Becky, In my understanding -- yes! you should most definitely initiate contact with the dog when it is behaving well. And pile on some praise. THe simple...
... said ... When you left him, did you give him a Kong or hollow bone, stuffed with something he loves? Both my dogs have SA but do quite well, together, if...
Thanks so much. I read about the kong. He has one but the treats I have are too hard and big. I just went to the store today and got some kong treats and am...
Perhaps be pro-active and do a quick note to a few of your nearest neighbours telling them you are aware your pup is barking but you are working on the problem...
... As a treat for the Kong, I stuff it with liverwurst sausage, peanutbutter or cheese spread - all things my dogs love. Some people freeze them, too, making...
Our dog has benefited greatly from Clomipramine. It took about 2 weeks to get into her system, but we are now able to leave her w/out concern of her ...
Thanks to all of you for such great advice. I have noticed much improvement with the treat stuffed kong, DAP and crate. I still am not leaving him in the crate...
Hello, my name is Lori and I have a 15 week old Vizsla puppy that I have just recently realized has separation anxiety. He is crated for 3-4 hours at a time...
How about stuffing a kong full of peanut butter and his favourite treats. That will keep him busy for awhile. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Let me...
That's what I tried this afternoon. This morning I took him for 25 minute walk, gave him rescue remedy, closed all the doors in the house so my 2 year old lab...
Lori, I think that is a good thing to try. Hopefully he will be tired and less anxious. Do you have a video camera that you can use while you are gone to see...
I don't have a video camera. I pretended to leave and then snuck back in on the weekend (about 10 minutes later) and he was sitting in the middle of his crate,...
Lori, Its severe enough that its definitely not going to get better without intervention. Have you read up on treating SA? Heather ... From: Lori Vickerman ...
Maybe the daycare will poop him out enough to relax in the afternoon. Are you gonna try that? Carol That's what I tried this afternoon. This morning I took...

Hi, I actually got this group's information from my vet. Here is my story: I recently took in an abandoned puppy. He was tied to a cart return outside of a...
It's great to hear that someone took a puppy in and is working with him - so many don't want to get involved. I bet that little guy thanks you from the bottom...
Yep. That's correct. All the 'manuals' say that negative reinforcement is bad - since dogs with SA are usually very soft animals. I'm not going to deny that my...
Great news. Lucky puppy. I am so glad you took him in. What kind of dog is he? Craol Hi, I actually got this group's information from my vet. Here is my story:...
