""My mini rescue pyr has the same problem. I have put her on Anafranil at the vet's suggestion and this has helped. I could not leave her crated as she tore her face and the crate up trying to get out. I now leave her out with the TV on in an area that is devoid of things that she might want to shred. Today I am going to work all day, so we will see how she does. What is the background of your dog??? Mine had no human contact and ran with an older pyr in the wild as it were. My vet says that dogs who have this type of upbringing have this type of problem. She was also heartworm positive and had a tough time with the treatment...so she did not feel good when she first came to us. PAM"" I was very interested in reading this as I've been wondering about seperation anxiety in my 6 mon girl. My son just moved back in and he tells me she's awful after I leave. Almost screaming and barking and carrying on. She also wets in her crate some times. As I leave before he gets up, we are now putting her crate in his bedroom. As long as she can see/hear/smell someone she's OK. She was born in the field and had no human contact until we got her at age 12 weeks. She's almost a velcro dog, but very loving. She gets a lot of attention when we are home, but we are gone long hours during the day. We have 3 other dogs in the house with her. What else can we do to help her anxiety? Ginger
