Can I just add there has been some great ideas put forward so far. However, from experience I have found that yes leaving the TV or radio on can help settle a dog with seperation anxiety in the beginning. However, eventually these two things can be conditioned to be a cue for your leaving and so becomes something that starts to stress out the dog.
This isn't the case for all dogs but can be for some.
I will keep that in mind as well. Never thought about it that way.
Tomorrow I have to go out so will give a progress report
Whatever it takes she is worth the effort I just hate knowing she is upset

Thankyou so much for your answer
i shall put your ideas into action
As for adopting an adult dog.... I absolutely love her , she is a delight and a great bed companion lollllll

I am really concerned as to how to deal with Rosie. She is a Chihuahua and 6 years old.
I think she must have belonged to an elderly housebound person so is not used to being alone at all.
Even a 10 minute absence causes her great distress ( and isnt doing my shoes or mats any good either :rolleyes: )
So far I have tried having her confined ( didnt work )
Now I let her free access in and out of house when neighbours are home but she still cries.
She is amazing in all other ways, obedient, clean, affectionate, sociable.
My next problem is finding what she WILL eat She loves chicken but I cant see that as a well adjusted diet???
Also she got an upset tummy from raw chicken. SHe is a real picky eater but looks in great health.
Could these problems be coming from being separated from her home, going to a pound then onto a rescue and then to me???

What sort of scale of cost are we looking at for a Tibbie puppy - just a ball park idea as I know things vary significantly between breeders/lines etc
How are they in terms of being able to be trained for Obedience or even Agility - are they a breed that would enjoy doing something like that?
Do they blow coat/moult frequently? or are they infrequent shedders?
How well do they fit into a house with other breeds? especially gundogs? (with the fact in mind that gundogs seem to grow up very very slowely and behave like silly-buggers for several years before calming down)
When I got Isabella she cost 500.00 but she is 6 years old now.
the training question really made me laugh, I took her to training and she was fabulous, however she thinks she has done it once no need to do it again
If you vaccume daily you will get enough hair for another tibbie, I feel I should be registering 4 dogs not 2.
I have 4 dogs in the house and they interact well but I dont know how they would go with big dogs, Sophy screams unbelievably when she sees other dogs
She is only 3 though
Beautiful temprement, Happy disposition, great with kids.

Progress report
she is eating better ( thank goodness)
As for me going out she still serenades the neighbours but is giving up sooner so hopefully we can call that progress.
I have bought her some new toys and will rotate them like suggested, also the old ( stress old) t shirt idea sounds good too :D
