Chewawa and Yorkie Cross very bad anxiety and screaming problems

Sorry you didn’t get any answers on this. I have a similar problem with my Shih Tzu. I’ve had him for 4 years. We can never leave him alone. He barks all the time and gets his beard and chest soaking wet. He also coed damage to the door we left out of. Sometimes he pees and poops on our carpet. Other than that, he’s a good dog. He loves to go with us in the car. He loves people. We are at the point of giving him away because we can’t go anywhere! I know it’s separation anxiety but what can I do?
I probably won’t get an answer either. So sooty for your problem.

I don’t know if these actions are a reaction known to this breed or not. I would try putting him in a crate and then put towels or something to cover the crate so that the dog can’t see you. Then stay in the house. If the dog starts to whine, howl, etc. you can scold or verbally correct the dog. Open and close the door you go out but stay inside the house. When the dog whines, howls again correct the dog. Eventually the dog will not know when you are home or not. We also leave a radio on when we go out. If the dog shows a better reaction to your going out, make sure you reward him with a treat when you get home.

My toy poodle has terrible separation anxiety and is only attached to me. If you go outside of your house wait for a period of time until she calms a bit. When she isn’t barking go in and treat her. Keep this up as often as you can and she will improve. Also talk to your vet about medications used to treat this kind of anxiety in dogs…there are some that can help. Crate training is also helpful especially if there is any destructive habits or accidents. There is no one solution to this kind of problem….it will take a combined approach applied consistently and worked at regularly.

My dog was having panic attacks when I would leave her at home alone. My vet suggested using Rescue Remedy, it is an all natural product that helps keep her clam.You will find it in a health food store, or on Amazon. This works wonders for my dog.
