You could try Crating - although it may be hard for him to adjust to at 14, but is he's usually a calm, easygoing dog it may work. There's also Doggie Daycare - even a couple time a week may help him behave the other days that he is home. Otherwise ask the vet about Doggie Prozac- I've heard of this being used for separation anxiety.<a href="http://www.felinehealthguide.com/blog/"> tressa1220</a> He’s not too old to train, the problem is catching him in the act of being bad since he does it when everyone is out.

At that age, training isn't going to help. Unless he's always been this way, severe behavior changes like that are often a sign of a medical problem like a brain tumor. If he's that distressed, it might be kinder to put him to sleep. Otherwise, the only safe thing they can dog is get a pet sitter or a large, sturdy airline crate. Get the plastic kind - too many dogs like this either break out of a wire cage or severely injure themselves trying. Leave a tv or radio on. Fill a rubber Kong toy with peanut butter to distract him.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/universities/science-degree.htm"> Dog_trainer</a> A fourteen year old dog is very old.

His age might make it difficult for him to adjust to this change, but it will stop the destruction and might lessen his anxiety. We have a dog that did the same thing, and he has taken very well to his crate. It is like a den that makes him feel safe when we are not home.<a href="http://www.chefcookingware.com/918"> lifeuntiloctober</a> My suggestion would be to buy the dog a crate.
