Dog training - my 6 year old husky separation anxiety?
the dog is Absolutely amazing up until when me and my girlfriend have to leave than he makes horrible noise and scratches at the door And there is always a mess you clean when i come in.
It's not separation anxiety, per se. It is the fact that Siberian huskies were bred to work in teams, and live in packs. When you're gone, where is the dog's pack?
He is bored, and lonely. He needs a companion (not necessarily YOU -- but a companion. That is why this is not separation anxiety).
Your options:
1. Crate him when you're gone. Give him something to chew on. The chew/kong/toy will keep him busy, and the crate will stop him from destroying your house.
2. Exercise him heavily before you leave. A tired dog isn't a bored dog. A tired dog is a good dog.
3. Find him a companion. This might be a dog day-care facility, or you might be able to make arrangements with a neighbor to keep him with their dog (if they get along) during the day.
This breed does best when they have a buddy of some kind. If you cannot provide him with one in your absence, then your only other course is to keep him occupied and contained.
