Married couple adopts rescue Husky with extreme separation anxiety, husband calls it quits causing the wife to escape to a dog-friendly hotel

We hope you're having a fine and dandy week, animal fam. Certainly, we hope you're having a better week than the couple in this post. We think that social media has skewed everyone's idea of what owning a dog is like. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. Not every dog is a golden retriever that has one derpy brain cell and just wants to cuddle all the time. We learned that lesson the hard way when we adopted our first rescue pup, who turned out to be one of the most anxious dogs we've ever owned.

It was a shock to our system. Everything we thought we knew about dogs went out the window. It required us to stop, listen, learn, and make significant changes to our lives to accommodate this pup. It was a commitment. So we feel for this couple who adopted a husky with extreme separation anxiety. Both partners have to be fully willing to commit to making it work. As it turns out, they weren't on the same page, and now their marriage is in trouble. Scroll down to read the full doggo drama below!

These are all completely valid fears. We get it. But, at a certain point, they need to understand that the dog can feel this tension and it's definitely making the dog's anxiety worse. Dogs are very sensitive to our emotions…more than we give them credit for.

We swear by crate training. It teaches the dog to have their own space and feel comfortable. It also protects your house from harm. It will take time. It will take patience. But in the end, it's usually worth it.
