Separation anxiety still an issue
I just bought a wireless webcam to spy on Skye to find out what exactely her "noise pattern" is when I am out. She is great and very quiet sometimes and a bundle of screaming crazyness at others.
I know it isn't just entirely separation anxiety, but just adolescence behaviour and the fact that she can't be with the other dogs. But yesterday, I saw one of my neighbours stop in front of my house (I was just approaching coming home from work) whilst Skye was screaming and Jesse barking... he then walked on looking at me. For the rest of the evening, there wasn't a single noise from any of the dogs, but I still need to sort it swiftly one way or the other, as it doesn't just stress my neighbours but me too! Not to mention of course Skye.
So I got a wireless web camera so I can see what the patterns are of Skye's noise, I will be able to monitor her from work online to help me see what is going on.
I have now started to take Skye in the evening with me and Dylan and Flash too so she is now getting two walks which hopefully will help too. That's nearly two hours of walking with the morning walk being more training and playing and the evening walk just running and sniffing.
I have to sort this out, if I can't, then I might have to consider putting her into day care until she is a little older and I can leave her with the others. I'll see how we are getting on.
