Vent: Our dog is reverting to puppyhood

ScarlettBegonia

He has been so weird since I got pregnant-I always thought it was a myth but apparently not.

He used to have severe separation anxiety-the kind where he would scream and throw himself against his crate when we left.

Well today I went to check the mail which means I have to walk about a block. I could hear him screaming bloody murder at the door halfway there. Sigh.

If you guys have big dogs with SA, you know what I'm referring to-it sounds like you're skinning them alive. I'm actually surprised the ASPCA hasn't investigated, lol.

I know how to treat these issues, I'm just pissed that they're back.

Poor guy!  Hopefully it goes away before the baby comes!

Oh that sucks!  SA is not something that I can deal with at this point in my life.  I don't know how anyone does it; it's so horrible.  I hope he starts getting over it soon!

Hahaha! We survived it once before, we'll just have to deal this time around too. Silly dogs...

Poor guy.  He probably senses change and thinks you're going to leave him and not come back.  Do you crate him?

ScarlettBegonia

We would never leave this silly dog-but I'm sure thats exactly what he's thinking. Yep, we do crate him.

My old boxer used to flip out when I left him.  The crate was the only thing that seemed to keep him sane.  It's heartbreaking to know that they are so worried about being left!  Hopefully it's just a phase and once he's adjusted to life with a baby he'll settle down. 

I have heard of dogs becoming overly aggressive and protective with their owner while she's pregnant.  I always thought that was a myth!
