Chief and The Laundry Room

At night we put Chief in the laundry room. He has his own prime little suite in our house, but he doesn’t like it too much. He’d prefer to be squeezed between Gary and I in the king-size, I’m sure. We have noticed Chief does suffer some separation anxiety especially at night when he has to go in the laundry room. We are trying to be firm with him and not let in too much. We did start out trying to put him in a kennel at night and he was freaking out big time. So, we did cave and just let him have the laundry room to himself. He scratches at the door and whines for about half hour to an hour. Last night I had some firm words with him and he piped down pretty quick. He does listen exceptionally well to us, which is a bonus. Unfortunately, this (separation anxiety) is very common with abandoned dogs and we just need to be patient. We did have Ruby and him in the same room for awhile but Ruby was barking at every noise downstairs because he was keeping her up and that was when nobody was getting any sleep.
