Re: Separation anxiety
We tried a thunder shirt with no success at all. It is not the noise of the thunder but I think the difference in pressure in addition to separation anxiety. She reacts the same when we leave sometimes as she does when there is a front approaching. But her panting and pacing starts a while before the rain even starts and long before the thunder most of the time.640Views0likes0CommentsRe: Separation anxiety

We tried crating and she destroyed a metal crate. Bent the bars to the point I was afraid she would get caught on them. She has a plastic one now and she is fine in it as long as we don't close the door or if we close it but stay in the room. If we close it and leave the room she starts frantically scratching and whining. Do you leave her with some kind of yummy treat? Haven't tried many treats she has a lot of food allergies so I was kinda shy away from them Does she behave the same way when you leave her at home? Sometimes. At times she is fine at home and other times she acts out How much exercise does she get (physical and mental)? When at home usually a mile or so walk once a day. When camping several shorter walks a day. Not sure about mental? For some SA dogs lots of exercise (both physical and mental), a special treat and some white noise when you leave is all that's needed. Others will need some pharmaceutical help and conditioning training to overcome their SA.638Views0likes0CommentsSeparation anxiety
We have beagle/blue tick mix. She is a good dog. Does not bark at all but whines and cries when we leave. This means we cannot do anything away from the camper unless we take her with us. That is not convenient when trying to swim or ride bikes as a family. Any suggestions. We are trying not to be "that person". Who leaves the noisey whining dog in the camper to disturb everybody else. Any suggestions are welcome.4.3KViews0likes14CommentsKeeping Bikes still
We recently bought an Aerolite 292 DBHS. In the bunk room the bunks raise up while traveling and there is what they call a bike door. I like the ideas of putting the bikes inside but I am not sure how to keep them from flying around while traveling. Suggestions? Anybody have a similar model? What do you do? Thanks.3.2KViews0likes10Comments
