Separation Anxiety

You hear of this with children. Well since we don't have any, we've been challenged with 'doggie separation anxiety'... it's true! Brady, the bigger of the two dogs, gets extremely stressed out when Jason & I leave. We video taped him a few months ago. For the entire video tape, he whined, cried, attacked Bo, tried to bite at the cage, scratched... you name it, he was doing it. He shreds anything that you put in his crate - including the removable plastic bottom. Now, I'm not just talking tearing up a few things... he shreds them into little pieces.

So, after about a week of this, Jason decided to consult an animal behaviorist. Yes, you heard me correctly. My husband, Jason, called an animal behaviorist! For those of you who know Jason well, you might remember him saying... "I can't wait for dog free days!" (This was in reference to my two dogs that he got with the package of marriage!) Now he's calling a behaviorist - go figure!

We currently are giving Brady medication to help with his anxiety. Jason is also taking him to work with him daily. My-oh-my has Jason changed...
