   This is kind of obvious, but is there any way to improve your AC upstairs? It might really improve things for both of you. Our dog has a treat ball that he LOVES, it’s basically a ball with a hole in it that he pushes around with his nose and his kibble falls out. We give half his kibble in the dish, half in the ball. He’s actually a 90 pound lab/coonhound mix, and this is the only inside game he really likes (although we do a lot of outside stuff so it hasn’t been a priority). If you DO try this I recommend the large size because they push them under furniture and a 10 pound visiting dog had no problem with the big one. treat ball Also, if there’s any option to get someone to walk him, it would be great for him. If you know a teenager in your neighborhood, or if there’s a job bank for seniors in your town, those might be more affordable options. Good luck, I can tell that you want to do right by him.

   sounds like a mistake you won't make again - happens to us all! My dog recently got out because I am at a new house and didn't notice a space he can fit through between the fence and the side of the garage. Luckily he didn't get hit, but he was picked up by a stranger on the road and taken to a vet, who called us while we were out searching the neighborhood for him. The point is- dogs get loose and bad things happen. Sometimes it's our fault, sometimes it isn't, but it happens. I fixed my fence, you just have to fix how you choose to restrain him. It is important for him to get to roam sometimes, but there needs to be a safe space and you should be with him. Hope your boy is better soon.

   If he's only doing it outside on your walks, that is completely normal behavior. My dog has to pee/mark on every single utility pole in the neighborhood. 😂

   Totally normal. Pretty much all dogs do this, at least in my experience. I’ve had female dogs who do it as well. No underlying health issues, all neutered/spayed, all just wanting to leave little messages for the other critters in the neighborhood

   I also have an all black GSD, also with crippling separation anxiety lol. Age has helped, so has consistent routine, a dog door, and our other dog. I got him as a puppy and lived in the country at the time, he came to work with me every day and had never been alone in his life. I moved to a more urban area and worked from home during the week but had a waitressing job on weekends. The first day I left him alone in the house he opened a window, busted through the screen, jumped the fence, and came looking for me. Thankfully animal control picked him up and he was okay, but he could’ve easily been hit by a car or taken by someone or gotten lost. After that, I tried crate training and he also broke out of every crate I tried, and it became a safety concern—once I came home and he had chewed half the plastic tray of a wire crate and tried to bend the bars to free himself, and gotten his head stuck in the process. His paws and mouth were all bloody and I don’t know how long he was like that :( I hired a trainer to mild success but he still freaked tf out every time he was alone. Eventually I had to return to office so really had to figure out a system. The things that worked for me were thoroughly exercising him every morning before I went to work at the same time, on the same route. His walk was a job, and I used a joring harness to let him pull me through the neighborhood, which he actually really loves. He would use the bathroom and then I’d rollerblade with him for 3 miles, get home, and feed him. I’d follow a consistent routine of getting ready/making coffee/etc so he knew to expect when I would leave. I wouldn’t say goodbye or make a big deal when I left the house, and i wouldn’t greet him with any great emotion when I got home, simply say “hi, I’m back” in a neutral tone and ignore him until he was calm. This took big emotions out of me coming and going and it took a few months, but he eventually stopped getting so worked up when I’d leave. I put in a dog door once I could trust him not to jump my chain link fence, and eventually got another dog which I think also helped calm him down. I also got a long term partner and I think having to share my attention with others also helped chill him out a bit. He’s 8 now and is fine during the day if we leave him, but still freaks out and gets destructive if we’re gone for too long after dark and will shred paper/book/toilet paper, but if he were a little younger he’d probably still go for the drywall/doors. My other dog is a lab and could not care less about our comings and goings lol, a lab might be more suited to your lifestyle
