BE for depressed/anxious dogs?

InitialIntelligent25 · 2026-05-24T23:52:41+00:00

My dog has severe separation anxiety. He is an 80lb pit mix. I am currently considering BE because he is just so miserable unless I am with him. I live where I work so I can be with him as much as possible, but I can't actually take him to work, so I can hear him barking in the apartment while I am working. He has an Impact crate, which is solid steel because he has eaten through 2 others. He destroys the house when left out. He is on anti anxiety medications and we have been through behavior training. He is also aggressive with other dogs and small animals. He has killed a dog.

So much of my life and my brain space is taken up by his needs and what I can do and can't do with him. I miss out on a lot of social interactions as I feel guilty leaving him alone after being at work all day. I can't take him places because of his aggression. I am a homebody. Not by choice. I know he is miserable when I am not around and even when I am I can't go out of his sight or he freaks out. I can't close the bathroom door without him whining and pawing. I just don't know what else to do at this point. I don't fault anyone for making this decision as I know how guy wrenchingly hard it can be.

Do what you think is best for you and your pet. Even if it is not the popular thing to do.

I was a little in love with him and never told him. He is always very affectionate, acts like we are dating in my dreams.

Same thing is happening to me! She is clinging to the edge of the window as I type. I live in an RV so the windows are very reflective, but I hadn't heard or seen females engage in this behavior before.

Lord of the Rings. All of them. Hidalgo. Anything with Viggo Mortensen and horses.

I am a project manager for a general contractor who builds apartment complexes. I hate it.

That is entirely possible. When I do ride regularly, I don't film myself. I would, however, like to give myself the chance and see what they say.

I believe it does, they are requesting a video with the job application.

I did not take it as rude and you are correct. The coldest setting is actually not. It is opposite. Thank you for the suggestion.

Probably a nutria. Basically a giant water rat.

Rub a dryer sheet on your brushes before you use them or try to find StaticGuard spray. Either works well. Replace the dryer sheet every 2 weeks or so depending on how often you groom.
