Separation Anxiety in Dogs

Welcome to Separation Anxiety in Dogs Resource

Your dog tries to block you from leaving the house. As soon as you close the door, he howls and barks non-stop. When you return, not only are you bombarded with licking and being jumped on by a hyperactive dog, you notice that while you were gone he has ripped apart the carpet, scratched the paint off the door and urinated on the carpet – there’s a good chance he/she is suffering from canine separation anxiety.

Dogs love their owners and develop a very close relationship with them. Dogs have a need to please their owners and enjoy praise, treats and attention. Sometimes this bond between a dog and his owner becomes dependent; and separation can lead to confusion, anger and panic. If ignored, canine separation anxiety can cause a major problem. Not only is your dog destroying your yard and home, but the constant howling and barking is causing a problem with your neighbors and landlord. The stress of separation anxiety in dogs can be extreme.

The good news is that there are many ways you can help your dog through canine separation anxiety. We cover the main symptoms of this complex so that you can identify separation anxiety in your dog, and also cover many cures and training techniques for helping your dog feel more comfortable on his own.
