[nagdu] Separation anxiety

[Shannon Dyer]

Hi, Alyssa.

What is your attitude when you put Melody in her crate? I remember, back when I got my first dog, one of the trainers talking about people making a big fuss over the fact that they were leaving their dogs behind. If you act like it's a big deal, then it's possible she'll interpret it as such.

Also, when you shower, and she starts carrying on, what do you do? I've found that a very stern "Quiet" is effective for some dogs.

I usually put her in her crate and give her toys to play with. I've even tried leaving music on for her. Nothing seems to work. I can't even go take a shower without herb fussing. Am I doing something wrong? What else can I try.
