How do you stop a dog from chewing furnitures and walls when you’re not home? The dog has severe separation anxiety from the family. Most of the time, there’s someone home, but when everyone’s out, the dog gets really anxious and scared. There are literally puddles of drool all over the floor. The family decided to keep the dog in a big laundry while the family’s away, but the dog manages to bite off the door frames and the wall. They’ve had this dog for 14 years, and he’s just begun doing this. The vet told them it’s old age. Does anyone have any solution?
