I like what Janedee had to say. And suggest this as a possible solution. We also had a dog who had speraation anxiety. She got that way from being in a crate 12 - 14 hours a day. This happened until she was two years old. Then she was given to this person's mother. She lived with her until she was five then the woman had medical problems and her children started fogetting about the dog again. So she gave her to a rescue. The next two years the dog lived there until I came. I had her for the rest of her life. She had some seperation problems but I took my dogs with me whenever I could. I was known around town as Sharon and her two Samoyeds.
