A dog with kennel - anxiety issues - help is needed.

1 Answer

Answer :

Oh no, you have my dog Molly when she first came to me! haha. She ate my dry wall, mini blinds, carpet, and peed in the bedroom. I put those hook things, like what is at the end of a leash, on her kennel to keep her from getting out of the kennel. I put 2 at each end because she figured out how to tear the kennel down. Nothing but patience and time will help. It’s been a year and a half now and Molly is great about getting in her kennel when she knows I’m leaving. I used to have to get her and carry her to it. I started putting a kong with peanut butter in the kennel and leaving the tv on. I think it lessons their anxiety. Training will help, but it will take time.
