Please help me? My dog has seperation anxiety?
Raawrr
My dog has seperation anxiety and I don't know what to do. I made the mistake of being home all the time when he was a puppy and now whenever he's not near me, he'll whine and bark and screech. I locked him up in my room while Everyone went out and when we got home, he'd ripped up the carpet under the door. He's not a big dog. He's a chihuahua Maltese cross. We're trying crating at the moment but the neighbours are complaining because he won't be quiet.
I put some stones in a can and shook them whenever he barked and that's seemed to work. But any other ideas? Please help! Thank you.

Yeah, not doing home alone training while you had the possibility for it is a mistake, as is leaving a dog alone cold turkey without having done any home alone training first. Some dogs handle it just fine, but many don't. I do wish that there would be as much emphasis on home alone training as there is on housebreaking because it would prevent a lot of separation anxiety in dogs.
Look up home alone training, pick the method where you first leave the dog for 1 second a gazillion times a day, then 5 seconds then 30 seconds etc. never progressing faster than he can take, if he starts getting upset then you've been to fast and need to take a step back. Once you are doing 20 minutes, then you can increase the time intervals, 1 hour, 1 1/2 hours, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours etc. If you have to leave him during the training period, then try to get a dog sitter. If he is extremely anxious, then look into getting a DAP diffuser to plus in a switch near him. It's not a replacement for training, but it can help ease the training.
Other tricks that can be added to the home alone training: Leave the radio on at low volume. Don't make a fuss about leaving or coming home. Once you start doing 15 minutes intervals, then exercise him before you leave, but do more mental exercise than physical exercise, this will tire him out. Leave 20 minutes for him to calm down after the exercise before you start getting ready to leave.
Usually home alone training takes 10-14 days depending on the dog, some are faster, some need a bit longer, but once the problem is already there, then it generally takes longer.
Oh...and go to your neighbours with a batch of home-made cookies and ask for their patience while you train the dog.
A crate is usually only symptom treatment and you need to address the underlying issue: that he is afraid and panics when left alone.
