Maxine is attached to her owner Mike. We are working on separation anxiety issue today. She was outside by her bed and Mike and I were inside talking. Maxine could see us and of course she began to get upset and started barking. I opened the slider door and verbally corrected her , went to her and got her to sit/settle, holding her head and looked in at her as if to say all is fine. Be confident.
I went back to the kitchen with Mike. After a short minute she started barking again. I did the some thing. This happened several times. I was patient but firm in my demeanor.
After several times, Maxine sat and looked at us, then decided to lay on her bed. She was more relaxed. You could see it in her eyes until she closed them.
The issue will probably still be there but its a start. The process needs to be continued.
