Does your dog howl and whine forever when you leave him? Does your dog’s destructive behavior leaves your home in a mess when you leave it alone? If your answer is yes, then your dog has a real problem: separation anxiety.
Sometimes, when the relationship between owner and dog is too close, the dog becomes confused and frightened when left alone. To overcome this problem, time and repetition are your best solutions.
You can always prepare your dog for your departure. In stead of extra petting and kissing, you should decrease your interaction with your dog prior to leaving and ignore it in order to make your departure less noticeable and worrisome. You can, moreover, provide your dog with some sort of distraction before you leave, thus giving your dog a new toy before you leave will make your departure a pleasurable experience in stead of a painful one. The sound coming from a TV or a radio channel will also help sooth your dog, decreasing its feelings of stress and loneliness.
Although training your dog to get rid of such anxiety is not easy, with patience you can reduce its fear.
