Is that a dog, or an ostrich?

My demon already killed Punxsutawney Phil this past summer (we're not far from there). So any predictions they're planning to make are surly not shadow based.

Sorry for the gore image - but though you peeps needed proof of some sort. This guy is not playing possum.

But in a non demon side - how can anybody be scared of this fluff ball derp? This guy could only lick you to death...

Question for all of you.

For your dogs anxiety / whining / barking...what methods do you use? Also, any recommendations on CBD meds for calming and relaxing? The meds we got from the doctor..we have used it for 1.5months and see ZERO improvement.

Thanks!

How old is the dog and does this happen when you leave the dog alone or all the time? We rescued a 6/month (Portuguese water dog) and it took some time for her to become comfortable staying alone in the house, probably another six months. All dogs are different, so it can be hard to say how long it will take. I have no experience using CBD meds for calming and relaxing dogs, but would be interested on how they would work for me?
This is what helped us with the dog:
1. Make sure you exercise the dog as much as possible - Easier said than done depending on your property and locations. 2. Provide lots of chew toys keep them interested / distracted. 3. Leave the TV on while you are gone. 4. Initially leave in short intervals, say 10min and gradually leave for longer amounts of time. Good luck.

The dog is a mini dachshund. We got him from a foster family first week in Sept and he was about 12 weeks old then. So he is about 28-30 weeks old now. He is currently about 10-11lbs.

Their breed is known to have separation anxiety but I didn't know it was this bad. The foster family had other big dogs and he would get along with them great and the foster family's son would let him sleep in the same bed with him every night.

So fast forward to our place, he HAS to see you and if he doesn't..he will run around and whimper until he sees you. You cant go anywhere without him and his whining. For example. My wife was gone during the day recently and I needed to grab some tools from the garage to complete an electrical project I am working on and I wasn't even out in the garage for more than 10secs and you can already hear him scratching at the door and whining. This is every time we leave no matter if it is 10secs or half a day. He hates his cage and I want to put him in his cage every night for bed time. My wife doesn't want to and likes him in bed with us. When I put him in his cage, it sounds like he is tearing down the house and the crying is just too much to the point where I put our throw pillows from the bed over our two vents so we don't hear him crying. Some nights he only cries for a few hours but majority of the nights he cries all night.

We try to play with him as much as we can. He sleeps all day if either my wife and I are home working.

This has been going on since we got him. I am at my wits end and can def tell my blood pressure has gone up because of it.

Same as for people, you seldom find a medication that will really fully 'fix' things. Meds can certainly help, but often best if combined with behavioral program. I'd consult with a good animal behaviorist (your vet should have suggestions).

Hey Moe sorry I didn't respond to your other post sooner. I asked what brand my buddy uses and he said he doesn't remember off hand but its on spamazon. I'd assume its https://a.co/d/9aoJ8vR. Id ask your local vet if they recommend anything else. Worst case is give the dog some zanex like my cousin use to for his Rottweiler, but I kinda don't recommend it.
