separation issues

it seems ive made a short rope for myself with leaving zya ..she doesnt chew or wreck the place she howls and barks ALOT my neighbours are very understanding luckily ...when i return i ignore her as her anxiety levels are thru the roof once she's calm i say hello ..ive tried treats and ive spent a small fortune on gadgets to entertain her but nothing is working i leave her for short intervals and return but shes still highly strung even after only 5-10 mins.please can anyone give me some advice as i hate to think of her so stressed ..thanks x

In short, all you can do is go right back to basics. Even if it's stepping out of the room and closing the door behind you. Make yourself unavailable to her throughout the day, so she gets used to settling herself. Perhaps just leave the room while she eats her dinner.

My sister has had good results with Dorwest herbs scullcap and valerian, which seems to take the edge of the anxiety.

thanks for responding and it seems so (back to basics)..although i have been separating myself more and more in the home she's not too bad with being unable to get to me as she knows im still at home but once i go out and come back in its like ive been gone hours even if its jus to take the rubbish out ..im not 100% about remedys at the moment but if it is continuing after ive tried the basics again and its still causing her to have a break down ill have to try sutn ..thank you x

How often does she get walked?  

Hi
i  to have the same problem i have to leave my 14 month old barry  every day
he is  very attached to me   he has only just started going out in the yard on his own  but i have to leave the door open so he knows he can get in.
Im am trying the rescue remedy drops and i got him a thundershirt aswell
as he hates getting in the car..
So hopefully this works  .... im trying the basics   slow and steady...

i walk zya alot she has 2hr morning and through out the day if were bizzy or she has her evening walk upto an hour too but not if weve been out all day she 14mths so shes very active..@ratbox i really think with time zya and barry it seems will get it eventually its jus trial and error but zya can be left in other rooms without stress its jus going out she lasts for about 5-10mins then shes off ..thankfully im never far and when i return i ignore her so i dont add too her seperation issues once shes calm then i acknowledge her ..she loves travelling and is great incars,trains and buses ..well ventured pup lol x

Yes for sure they will get the hang of it..
Barry was a rescue dog very skinny and not much loved
Now he gets so spoilt and lots of love and has put on weight
Now plays ball and enjoys his walks but we still have a little way to go..
Hope Zya settles soon...

Aaaaaw it sounds like Barry has landed lovely being with U after such a sad start he has a happy ending ive had zya from a pup so ive been able to constantly train her although the leaving issue isn't a hassle it something I need to do ..she'll get there hope Barry does too x
