Separation
Separation anxiety has always been found in our dogs to a certain degree, but none more so than in a post Covid world when many of our daily tasks/challenges changed overnight for our dogs this was a very troubling time and now can be found in dogs when they experience distress upon being left alone or separated form a specific member of the family.
Does your dog potentially have seperation anxiety?
If you think your dog/puppy has separation, here are some signs to help understand, if you recognise these signs then this is something one of my packages can help with
Recognising Separation-Related Behaviour (SRB):
-
Destructive behaviour: Dogs may chew or destroy furniture, especially near exits, doors, or windows.
-
Vocal: Howling, barking, and whining are common signs.
-
Toileting: Some dogs may urinate or defecate indoors.
-
Excessive excitement: Dogs may become overly excited before you go as they recognise the behaviour pattern of the human and when the human returns
-
Anxiety before you leave: Watch for signs like trembling, panting, excessive salivation or lip licking
-
Other Signs: Circling, Pacing, excessive Paw Licking
-
Causes of Separation Anxiety:

Dogs may struggle when left alone due to emotional attachment to their owners.

Some dogs become bored without appropriate mental and physical stimulation, leading to anxiety.

Underlying health issues can also contribute to separation-related behaviour.
