separation anxiety??

[Mickelle Weber]

hey guys!
let me start by saying that i could not live without this forum!
my question is IF Cleo has SA, or if it is something else.
the first thing i think is pretty normal...she cries and cries when we leave her in her crate anytime...
the second thing is a little more strange...she gets very upset if either of us is out of her sight eg: if we are in the car and my husband gets out of the car to get gas for instance she will get very upset and cry and bark and watch him and try to get to him until he gets back in, he is in her sight the whole time but she just seems upset that she can't get to him.
i am mostly curious, she is almost never left alone, but if we need to leave her, or if my husband or i ever need to work from outside our home, i didn't want to be suprised.
thanks!

It definitely sounds like SA to me, although I'm no expert. Lola is rarely left alone either and if I do leave her in her crate she whines and howls the whole time. If I leave her out in my bedroom she's fine. I think there's a 3 step thing that you can do with Cleo to help with the SA. I'm not sure what the steps are though. I'm sure someone else could give you more information. Good Luck!!

when u have to leave your pup at home either in an crate, kitchen or bathroom try leaving the radio on / tv as the sound and voices may claim the pup down also with one used t-shirt with your scent on it. Good luck.
