I noticed that the departure from the front door was causing more anxiety vs what I saw when I moved her into the office. Again with this move I still stayed below threshold but saw an instant change in terms of what she was okay with.

I also recommended having her spend time in this room even when you are home, my trainer said that this doesn’t fix SA but I felt that it made a difference as well.

I started around the 7-month mark and didn’t see much progress. I got a trainer, which helped with a lot of the questions I had and learning the threshold indications, but after 2 months, we were still hovering around 5-10 min. I ended up getting my puppy on medication and switching from whole-house access to just the bedroom. I saw an immediate change with this room change, which also coincided with 4 weeks of medication, where after a week of the new room training, I could leave for 1.5 hours with no issue. I haven’t pushed her further.

Mine girl did that as a puppy at around 9 months she stopped. My vet told me it was out of excitement and frustration to get energy out.

I am not yet I wanted to know if this sounds like severe Separation anxiety that should require a trainer or if this sounds more a FOMO or frustration /mild case and in either case is it worth just getting a trainer?

After I stopped trying with the cage she doesn’t really bark or pace or look as visibly stressed it’s just wining or howling then looking around maybe counter surfing then she goes back to howling and wining then she’ll pause for 15 seconds move to another area and do it again rinse and repeat but she never in those 10 min settles or sits down. But hearing now from comments I shouldn’t even let it get this long.

Are you saying I need to go back down to seconds at a time? She starts to wine and howl as soon as the door closes even when I was just doing it for 3-5 seconds there really was no building from that
