- Abstract
An 8-month-old spayed female golden retriever 3 standard poodle dog was presented for assessment because of vocalization, destructive behavior, and urination when left home alone and confined in a crate. Previous treatments included multiple medications, graduated departures, decoupling of departure cues, and punishmentbased techniques. Adverse reactions to paroxetine and lorazepam were noted before successful treatment with clomipramine, "safe haven" training, and behavior modification. Key clinical message: Separation anxiety is a common behavioral disorder in dogs. It is often treatable but may require changes in the approach to both medication and behavior modification based on patient and client factors.
