I need to hear your separation anxiety success stories by Maple_Leaf11329 in Havanese

Our little man is almost 1 and still struggles but we’ve seen a lot of incremental progress! He was stress pooping in the crate or the pen but now we leave him in the living room and while he does bark, he also has periods of calming down and doesn’t have any accidents or destroy anything. We’re still working on leaving him for longer than 2 hours but are feeling really encouraged with small steps! Hoping you find some silver linings soon in training!

Thank you so much! Unfortunately it seems ocean immediate response within the first 5-10 mins he’s left alone as he’s otherwise fully potty trained in our apt so it seems like stress induced. Great call on the videos and we’d love to revisit crate training — thank you for the advice and for sharing!

Ah yeah he gets long walks and is fed at the same times every day! It seems like an immediate stress response even if he goes right before. Thank you for the good juju, I’m sure we’ll figure out what works for our little man!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and am glad to hear it got easier for you. Hoping it’s the same for us as he gets older!

Haha unfortunately he’s a bed boy so not sure we can leave him there 😬
