GSP freaks out when it rains.
Hello. My 9 year old male gsp, has in the past 6ish months, had horrible anxiety or panic attacks when it rains (it could even just be misting outside) and someone is not home. I work from home 3-4 days a week. In the office the other days usually from 9-4. He is totally fine being home by himself when it is not raining.
He gets ample exercise (in my opinion) runs a couple miles almost every day, swims in our lake, and plays with the kids.
This afternoon’s destruction has lead me to ask you all for help/tips. This morning I knew it was going to rain, but I had to go into the office. I got up extra early, ran him more than usual. I left the TV running in the living room as I was told by family members that might help. Made sure he had done both #1 and 2 outside.
Has anyone else dealt with this before? Any ideas on why it just started (I haven’t changed jobs and there hasn’t been any lifestyle changes)? Any tips to help my best buddy Zeke?
