Also, making your dog sleep in a crate in the room may also solve the problem. I am crate training Kiki, and he seems to be getting it, but the only problem is, he has one of the worst cases of separation anxiety I've ever seen in any of my dogs in my 24 years of life. He barks and howls if left alone. I can't put him in with the other dogs. He's very aggressive with them. Sundays are a pain coming home to him from church. He gets so upset. When we walk in the door, he comes running, barking, and well...making a screaming noise and he jumps up. If anyone has ever had a dog with REALLY bad separation anxiety, and has solved it somewhat/or completely, can you please PM me with advice?
