I have a two year ancient miniature schnauzer that has the worst case of separation anxiety I have ever experienced!! When left alone he salivates so much his beard and paws, as well as the tile floor of the area he is left in, are soaked with slobber. He will also bang his head against the door of the area in which he is left. It is not a particularly small area either, consisting of a laundry room and my bedroom. I am starting to become very worried for his safety while I am gone. I have a DAP that is in the area and has not worked at all. I am a student and am really busy right now and don’t know if I have the time for the behavioral treatment that some suggest (leave him for a minute until he doesn’t react, then for five, etc), plus I don’t reckon it would work. I am desperate for a solution, any thoughts would be appreciated!
