i can see where that's true..my mom's dog acts the same if i walk outside or if i'm away for a year..and even if it's been weeks he'll still wait by the window.

we had a golden retreiver/yellow lab mix that would wait in the window every time we left the house. he would climb on the sofa that was underneath the picture window in teh living room and stand on the windowsill, just watching, waiting for us to come back.

one time, a neighbor commented on "that weird dog statue in the window".. she didn't know he was a real dog, standing on the sill :lmfao:

SHOCK COLLAR!!! IMMEDIATLY! Dont let your poor pooch harass your neighbors! Do it now before its too late.

BTW, I tested it on myself before I put it on Mika. Its safe and cheap. You can get a good one for $40 or maybe less.

Also, make sure there are plenty of toys that are ONLY ACCESABLE when your NOT around - otherwise they will play with them when your there and bore when your away.

Dont give them raw hides when they're alone. I use to do that with Mika untill she almost choked on one when I was home . It scared the shit out of me and I literally had to go down her throat to yank it out

my 7 yr old dog is the same way....she hates being alone. she's gotten better though...when she was 1-2 years old, she would cry and claw at the door whenever someone left even now i can see her in the window, watching me as i back my car out :happysad:
