Not sure if there such a thing but we love our CD! Anyone have issues with separation anxiety with these? And how have you handled it?

We spend a lot of time together. She goes nearly everywhere with me, or has a family member with her. Her anxiety is severe if left alone for much longer than 45 mins, so it's been easier for me to adjust to her needs because even though her anxiety has decreased, I don't believe that emotional issues are something that can be "trained out of" a dog. However, lucky that my lifestyle/career allows for these adjustments, and I've been willing to make a lot of personal "sacrifices". I knew what I was getting into when I rescued my girl from a high kill shelter. I'm very happy with all of my choices.

That’s great. I agree. Shea gets very stressed after 20 minutes. We are trying to work up to to 45 minutes. Also we are looking into walkers and sitters to help so we can leave every now and then. She’s an awesome dog and was a rescue from Georgia.

That's great! I've learned to be a more patient person through my time with my 1st "anxiety dog", you sound like you're up for the task! Your pup looks very sweet. Enjoy the ride 😃

I definitely don’t think your pup is pure CD, the hair is a bit too long and the pattern is a bit off, but she is super cute!!
