Does Your Dog Panic When Left Alone?

Challenges of Owning a Dog With Separation Anxiety

Does this sound or feel familiar?

Being noisy: Barking, howling, or whining more than usual when you leave or when they think you're going to leave?

Being destructive: Chewing on things they normally wouldn't, scratching at doors or windows, or even digging?

Having accidents inside: Urinating or defecating in the house, even if they're usually house-trained?

Trying to escape: Showing frantic behaviour like trying to get out of crates or through doors?

Pacing or restlessness: Moving around a lot and seeming unable to settle down when alone?

Excessive greeting: Being overly excited and clingy when you return?
