when does the anxiety go away 🤦

I have a 1yr old German Shepherd and, for the most part, she’s an absolute dream.

She’s potty trained. She’s figured out what’s okay to chew and what isn’t. She doesn’t chase our cats anymore. She doesn’t get into things that are unsafe or jump on desks/counters anymore. And it’s been this way for probably 2-3 months now.

But oh my god, I get so stressed out by her sometimes still. Sometimes, I’m laying in bed or showering while she has a chew. I’ll hear her chewing something and instantly it’s, “what do you have?” Nothing. It’s always nothing. It’s never a big deal. Maybe it’s lingering anxiety from her chewing up my Sony headphones or my boyfriend’s glasses, but I get stressed.

Same with using the bathroom. Sometimes she makes it downstairs before I do and I’m terrified she’s just going to go inside instead of waiting at the door like she always does. I can’t even remember the last time she had an accident indoors.

I hear her running and I assume she’s chasing the cats. Huge anxiety spike. Sometimes I see her with something I can’t quite make out (bad vision) and freak out thinking she’s taken something off of my desk or something.

The poor thing is so good but I’m so doubtful of her behavior sometimes. Does the anxiety go away? When will it go away? When will I stop freaking out over the smallest things with her?
