Separation Anxiety

Hey all,

Need some advice. We have an 8 year old German Shepard who has developed separation anxiety over the past year or so.

She would have the occasional accident in the house here or there if we left her home alone for the day, even if we took her out before we left. Annoying, but understandable.

Over the past year it has gotten to the point that if we leave her home alone to go to the store, or go to church, or go anywhere for even just a couple of hours it is almost a 100% guarantee that she has an accident. We now have to make sure all of the bedroom doors are closed, but leave the bathroom door open because if she has an accident in there it's an easy clean up. We do live in an apartment so no dog door for her to freely go outside. We are moving into a house next month, so we will hopefully install one in hopes this fixes the issue.

We give her treats before we leave, we leave the TV on, we have even given her anxiety meds (for fireworks) and still nothing seems to work.

She used to go to work with my wife every day, but now she goes with me. I know she doesn't have an issue holding in her pee because can hold it most of the day when she's with me at work.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
