How do you fix it? Yes, I'm talking about Sadie, no I don't know if we can take her back yet. I need a general idea on how hard the behavior is to fix before we commit because it was the MOST ANNOYING THING EVER for us. I hated it and it has to be fixed if she comes back to us.
So, for anyone who doesn't know about the issue, Sadie door jumps when in the backyard. She does it if you're out there with her, she does it if she's out there with other dogs, she does it repetitively (10+ minutes - the one time we tried waiting it out). My best guess is separation anxiety but that only tells me why, not how to fix it. And it has to be fixed if she comes with us because she will be spending more than five minutes at a time outside. Help??
