hey, y'all! :--) i wondered, seeing the discussion of Prozac, etc, if anyone uses DAP, PetCalm, Rescue-Remedy, aromatherapy, or even T-Touch or Anxiety-Wraps...

Take him to the vet for the poop-eating. They do it because they are trying to make up for some dietary deficiency (I am hazy on the details) but it is not,...
One isn't necessarily better than the other. They are two different kinds of anxiety medication though. Each one works differently than the other. I would...
Hi, I'm glad to hear that Jack is doing better. We have a greyhound with severe SA issues and kenneling her made it 100 times worse as well. To get him to...
This sounds eerily like my own extraordinarily smart Catahoula dog. I am yet to fully resolve her sepanx issues, too. But I have noticed something: she is far...
Clomicalm made no visible difference for my dog. Then again, neither did tranquilizers, so perhaps she's a real extreme case. Still, drugs are nothing but a...
I risked leaving Jack out to have free roam of the apt, and luckily, all he did was pee a little bit, and tonight, he just pooped (but ate it again, ick). I...
Hello, I can tell that you are feeling frustrated with your dog's seperation anxiety. Rescue dogs have a higher rate of sepanx than the average dog. We adopted...
I am sure lots of people will write with advice. Exercise is definitely key, especially for a large active dog like yours. Please check the archives for this...
Hi, I have a dog that did all of that too with the crates and the rugs and walls and she is also on some anti anxiety medicine. I tried meds, behaviorists,...
Hi- I'm so glad I found this group! I adopted a dog about 1 month ago from the humane society (german shepherd mix, approx 1 yr old, stray). Turns out he has...
Thank you all for the advice and encouragement! I work at a vet clinic so Harley goes with me almost everyday and plays in daycare while I'm at work. I...
Have you tried the keys thing? I read once to casually pick up your keys, say on a Saturday afternoon, and walk out of the house. Don't make over the dog,...
So sorry you are having problems Sandy but the last responder is correct- exercise may be key here. And LOTS of it. Get Harley exhausted before leaving her...
Oh Sandy, I too have a sep anx dog that had me to my breaking point when she learned how to open the refrigerator and eat whatever she found. I almost gave...
I have a 6 year old boxer named Harley that has s.a. It's been an ongoing problem for years but gotten consistently worse over the last 2 years. I have moved...
Physical exercise is important, but our behavioralist said mental exercise is as important, if not more so, than the physical. Do at least 15 minutes of...
Hi Joyann Many of us moved to another yahoo group- K9sa; please consider joining that group as well. Lots of folks in the same boat as you. My heart goes out...
aas with most medicines it takes time for results. Clomicalm isn't the strongest meds out there, but it does work for some people. Good luck. I think you are...
I strongly advise you to never, ever crate the dog again when you leave. Doing so was probably a costly mistake and a setback in your dogs level of trust in...
If you have all that land/space, why on earth would you want to crate him, in a tiny box when he's anxious anyway? build him an awesome dog run, a big one,...
We recently moved to a new house and our precious 4 year old Jack Russel/Australian Shepherd mix is having a VERY hard time with separation anxiety. he is...
Just be aware - sometimes it isn't a matter of them being a Houdini and escaping. My poor girlie, 10 years old, rescued her a year or so ago, was so frantic...
oh man! Thanks so much! I have no problem going ghetto. She is too strong and smart for her own good lol!  I am def going to get a crate and LOVE your...

Hi; My girl - a 7 yr old catahoula I adopted four mos. ago - had horrible sep. anxiety at first: broken windows,loud barking, and chewed up wooden doors and...
