Separation Anxiety in Dogs


Separation Anxiety

Separation Anxiety in Dogs: An Overview

Separation anxiety in dogs is a psychological condition that results in extreme panic and agitation when their owner is gone. Dogs of all ages, sexes, and breeds have been diagnosed with separation anxiety. Dogs that have suffered from abuse and neglect are more likely to develop separation anxiety.

Treating Separation Anxiety

One way to possibly correct separation anxiety in dogs is to recruit the help of a dog sitter who can interact with the patient and provide the necessary distractions whenever the owner leaves the house. In this way, the dog will be unable to focus on destructive behavior and will gradually become desensitized to the owner's absence.
