Help with anxiety
We recently adopted Rhona, a very sweet 1 1/2 y/o G.R. who was neglected. She is a great companion to ou 2 1/2 y/o G.R. Duncan. She has settled in well except for anxiety behaviors; barking at anything, and chewing on objects other than toys such as area rugs, furniture legs, and just yesterday, a window sill.
We can crate her, but then she will chew on her tail.
The vet suggested Anxitane, a OTC medication which has a synthetic form of green tea (L-Theanine).
We both come home for lunch and let the dogs out to run around for an hour or so, then are home again at 4 pm ish.
Does anyone have advice?
