Seperation Anxiety.
Took me 2 yrs to rid mia of hers.
I started at 2 mins keeping her in a room closing the door. Rewarding her on my return .
I lengthened the time in each room and repeated this for 2 days . I then moved to the main door in my house and would stand outside my front door stayed 2 mins outside this time i left all internal doors open. Went in and praised her instead of giving treats . I locked anything chewable away apart from obviously the furniture. I didnt have to put anything on my furniture but you could use strong pepper or vicks and put on the bits of furniture that can be reached or chewed. I repeated the above process and could eventually stay out my house for 5 hrs i always sat just outside my close door as she would of heard me and would have known i was still in my close. The important thing to remember praise for good behaviour and ignore bad behaviour dogs don't respond to shouting its just a noise to them use one word commands where applicable and use a firm voice.
