Need real advice or any type of help for separation anxiety for my pup
May need to click the picture to see the full image it looks a little too blown up but here's Cooper hes 1
full sized got him when he was still a puppy. but ive been having alot of issues with him ive been to multiple vets and got multiple second opinions he had some anxiety medicine which didn't work tried doggy hemp as a otc option and benadryl for the calming effect that a 1st gen Antihistamine gives ( asked his vet if that would be okay he said yes in moderation and watch over him ) but didn't help tried to crate him/taking small steps of me leaving the room he'd just scratch the door cry/bark for hours also gets aggressive if someone else tries to handle him besides me If im not around. he doesn't bite but snaps/growls in a weird mean way i cant really do anything without him standing 2 feet away at all times hell even when I take a shower/bathroom he will sit at the door sniff under it and bark if someone acts like they want in the bathroom not sure if there's another issue at play but I honestly think hes acting like this due to protection of me. at night he won't sleep but sit and stare at my door but he doesn't want out when I open it he sits and side eyes me like where we going also wont use the Bathroom if im not outside wont eat unless im in the same room took me about 2 weeks of me forcefully shoving him off my bed for him to learn hes not allowed up. Love him to death but im honestly considering selling him or giving him up to someone that's more qualified for a dog like this not sure what else to do tried everything from crates/toys/dog aromas/treats/doggy day care/mid day walks/ignoring him/no affection for a few hours/ect ect cant hire a trainer due to theres none around and the closest center is about 4 hours away which would end up being an 8hr drive which i cannot do on a daily/weekly basis would do it for Saturdays but nobody like that is open. So sorry for the long message also sorry if this is too much but I really do appreciate you guys for taking your time and reading this much love to all of you ❤️
