Also, when you make your entrance back into the house, be sure not to make a big deal about it also. My Sierra suffers from SA and when I return home I don't make a big fuss. I just walk in the house and ignore her for a few minuets until I feel she's calmed down, then I shower her with lovin's .
Buddy has helped a GREAT deal with her SA, I am now able to leave them out of crates when we're not home (if I would have before, I wouldn't have a home left to come home to! She used to destroy anything she could sink her teeth into! )
