Dogs And Separation Anxiety
Separation Related Behaviour Problems are quite common in dogs. Severe separation anxiety in dogs can mean that they destroy the house while you're out, wee and poo all over, cry, bark and howl and often dogs can try to escape the house - I've seen some dogs even break through windows.
However, it is also one of the most resolvable issues, in fact, 80% of dogs with separation anxiety can become completely anxiety-free using desensitising methods!
There are a lot of reasons why this can develop, such as:
- Being scared of being left alone
- Fearful that you aren't going to return
- Scary noises happening while you are gone
- Hyper attached to 1 person that has left
- Scared that they are missing out on something and frustrated by this
- They get bored while you're gone
All of which can be exacerbated by pain or discomfort in your dog (so a vet check is super important too!)
Whatever the reason, we can change the behaviour! We can help you show your dog it's all right to be alone and teach them the behaviour they should be doing instead!
