My dog barks when left alone if I am in the house. For example, if she is downstairs and I am upstairs she will bark until I go downstairs. If she is in her crate she will bark until I get her. She will keep barking for hours and will not settle down. I try not to get her while she is barking, but sometimes it isn’t possible. She rarely ever barks when I am with her.
She is fine in the crate at night since the crate is right next to my bed. She sleeps through the night with no issues.
If I leave her in the crate and leave the house, she barks for a few minutes but eventually settles down. (I have a camera so I can watch her).
Is this separation anxiety? Is she demand barking? How do I solve this? Considering she is able to settle down eventually when I leave, I don’t know if it is separation anxiety or not.
