Seperation anxiety

    @tanza:

    Yes, I agree with people guarding.. if mine do that, they are "dumped" on the floor… it is NOT acceptable behavior... gggg But like Andrea, I don't think that the behavior will really change.... but they get the message if they land on the floor!

    Unfortunately, like Jazzysmom mentioned, I have found with my worst guarders, as soon as they perceive they are about to get dumped, or worse, grabbed, the guarding increases and they will launch and attack the other dog. So I have stopped doing that; depending on the individual, dumping works fine for some of my less serious guarders (Bella and Luna). If the dog is sitting on/near me, I will place my hand inbetween the dogs, and quietly say 'no, Ariel, no…quiet'....if she stops, I keep cuddling, if she doesn't I place her in her crate, and we do a dog rotation ;) If she isn't sitting near a person, but is guarding something else, that is an immediate 'into the crate'. This has worked pretty well with both Ivy and Ariel...I can say 'no...quiet' and they usually calm down.

    I dunno...I am still trying to find a suitable fix for this problem that is easier than having to hop up every thirty seconds ;)

    Sarge uses his cell phone and calls me.....seriously, it depends on the door. One he can open himself by pulling down the handle the others he just scratches.

    @klangill I asked in the Facebook San Diego (CA) Basenji Meetup group about trainers. A member recommended Crewsn K9 Academy. https://www.crewsnk9academy.com/ I posted early in this thread about checking with the local breed club, South Coast Basenji Fanciers, for advice.

    It's difficult to comment with advice on separation issues when you have no idea of her background. It seems to me that something has happened to her in a house when she was alone in the past as you say Loki is quite content to stay in a vehicle. Having the other dog (very handsome) may help but you are wise to check that out first - the worst scenario - you could have 2 dogs screaming! Sorry to be flippant. I would agree with Moth about the possible need for a behaviorist. Welcome to the forum to you, Loki and possibly A N other.
