Separation anxiety isn’t just about boredom. It starts the moment you leave and continues until you return.
Some common signs include:
📌 Excessive barking
📌 Destructive behaviors like chewing furniture or scratching doors and windows
📌 Accidental urination or defecation in the house
📌 Excessive drooling and panting
📌 Pacing back and forth
📌 Repeated attempts to escape from confinement
Solutions:
⭐️ Crate Training:
This isn’t cruelty—it provides a safe and secure space for your dog when alone.
⭐️ Enrichment:
Leave your dog with his favorite treats or toys when you leave. For puppies, start with short separations and gradually increase the duration.
⭐️ Physical & Mental Exercise:
Play with your dog before leaving to help them relax. Puzzle games help with focus and self-control.
⭐️ Calming Medications (under vet supervision)
⭐️ Remain calm when leaving:
Avoid making departures overly emotional.
♦️ Separation anxiety can sometimes be unavoidable—but with patience, effort, and the help of a professional trainer, you can ease your dog’s suffering.
