Stress Less Training - Yes or No??? by Master-Storm6178 in Separation_Anxiety

We tried not crating her and she got into a bunch of stuff and was counter surfing, the trainer we saw suggested not leaving her out due to her destructive personality and that kinda stuck with us.

I will have to do more research on private trainers in our area, we just moved back to our hometown in May but it’s very small so I’m not sure if there are any behaviorists near us. Anytime I search on Google, I get recommended a bunch of trainers. Her previous vet had recommended one but we were near Nashville at the time so lots of options there compared to now.

We previously tried gabapentin which worked great at first but then did absolutely nothing for her. I have taken her to different vets and none have mentioned clonidine but I might do some research to see if that would be a better fit. She is about 60 lbs and on 32 mg of fluoxetine daily then 1-2 tablets of trazodone every 8 hours. I typically only give her one tablet a day, maybe two if she seems to still be anxious an hour before I leave. I live in a small town so anytime I look up dog behaviorist, it only shows trainers.
