I am pretty sure that Flip is suffering from it, and it's my fault. I take him everywhere with me, and now he doesn't want to be alone, ever.
I tried doing things like going to lunch at work and leaving him in the crate, leaving him in the car at the store, etc.
Now he just freaks out and cries/whines/carries on every time he is alone.
I get so much different advice it is confusing. I have been told:
1) Let him have a tantrum in the crate until he gives up.
2) Don't EVER leave him in the crate.
3) Put your other dog in the crate with him.
4) Leave him in a room instead (I don't trust him)
5) Keep conditioning him with short leaving times until he is comfortable (not working)
6) Leave music/talk radio on
7) Try aromatherapy
8) DAP diffuser (didn't work)
9) Meds
The foster owner left him in the crate for hours and hours, she said...the entire time she was at work.
