A good friend of mine has just rescued this male Sharpa dog, who is loving, quiet and non-aggresive. However, the minute he is left alone, he cries, howls, and scratches if left inside. She has tried: leaving the door open so he has the run of the house & garden; leaving the TV on so he has something to listen to and walking him until he is worn out before she leaves. Nothing is working. Her neighbours are in an uproar and one made vile threats to harm the dog. She is getting so stressed she is considering having the dog put down. We live in Cyprus and do not have the likes of good back-up animal services. When he is with my dog he does not make a fuss. But, due to her situation she cannot consider getting a companion for him. He is a lovely dog, with many good years ahead of him. We are desperate to find a solution, so that she can continue to look after him and give him the life he deserves. Please give us practical ways of dealing with his anxiety.
