I have to laugh to myself sometimes when people bring their dogs in, and go on and on and on about how worried they are to do daycare or boarding because Schnookums has such bad separation anxiety. These are almost ALWAYS the people that upon drop off do big long baby-talk goodbyes, smothering them in kisses, and telling them "it's okay, don't worry, mommy will come back, it's ok Schnookums"
Nine times out of ten, the "dog with terrible anxiety" is 100% fine as soon as their anxious owners are out the door. These are also the people who call upwards of ten times a day to check on them. (don't get me wrong, we don't mind owners calling everyday, or even twice or so a day... but at least once an hour is a bit much!)
Anyone else had experience with this? The more insane the owner, the more insane the dog.
