Hello all. So I am having some issues with my dog. There is a short term issue and a long term issue.
Background: I adopted my dog (Beagle/Basset Hound) 3 years ago from a local humane society. He was found behind a convenience store. He was taken in and recovered at the shelter where I adopted him. I think he was beaten and neglected by his last family because any time I raise my voice to him, he cowers and hides. Also, if he is alone for more than a half hour or 45 minutes, he starts to panic.
Short Term Problem: I need a new crate because he has chewed through his second crate. Does anyone have any recommendation on strong crates that he will not be able to chew through?
Long Term Problem: The separation anxiety is getting out of hand. He literally almost scratched through my door when he escaped his crate. I just want to find a way to make him comfortable and have him know everything is going to be ok.
Any help?
