Separation anxiety in dogs

Separation anxiety in dogs is a problem that can happen to any dog, no matter what age or breed and is a common reason why many dogs end up being given away or ending up in animal shelters.

What is separation anxiety in dogs?

Separation anxiety in dogs is a disorder where your dog will be very clingy to you and needs to always be by your side or very close to you even when sleeping. Being absent away from your dog makes your dog do many frantic things including destroying everything that it can! This is a major problem that you would want to have fixed as soon as possible.

What are the signs of separation anxiety?

Separation anxiety in dogs can be very obvious if your dog is always keeping close to you and by your side anywhere you go in the house and once you have left, within several minutes your dog is causing destruction in the house. If your dog is comfortable not having you around all the time and doesn’t mind you being in different rooms of the house and can sleep soundly away from you at night then your dog does not have separation anxiety.
