Question:

My JRT has started chewing at my furniture when I am not home. I attribute this to separation anxiety. I just read your article on this subject. One part of the article advised ignoring the dog for 3 weeks. Any suggestions on how to do this when I am virtually the only care giver? My work hours are also not consistent. Some days I go in very early, other days I kgo in late, but also work very late. Is there any hope for success with my hours?
