Dog has been returned twice for separation anxiety related symptoms

    Hello everyone!

    We have a dog here, approx. 1 year old husky mix, who has separation anxiety related behaviors. She becomes destructive when left alone and has been returned to the shelter twice due to those behaviors. I have had several huskies of my own and really never found a solution for these behaviors myself.  We just limited their access so that they couldn't do too much damage to themselves or our belongings. So I am wondering if any of you have found any good solutions to make the likelihood of success in a home more likely. This is a rural area, so I can't suggest doggy daycare as I might in other places.
