Separation Anxiety

Separation distress and anxiety (a phobia) in dogs looks like pacing, vocalizing, destruction of property, and potentially injuries to self. While separation anxiety should be diagnosed by a veterinary professional, any distress when being left home alone should be addressed in a humane way.

Top tips for separation anxiety:

  • Management is very important! Being able to reduce the amount of time your pup is alone while you build their skills and confidence can go a long way.
  • Crating is not usually the right solution. If your dog is destructive to the crate or injuring themselves trying to get out, work with a certified trainer to help them safely.
  • Technology, your veterinarian, and a qualified professional trainer will all play a role in helping your pup feel safe.

I have decided to refer out all separation anxiety inquiries to several professional trainers that are truly gifted trainers and very special humans. They’ve put their professional foot forward becoming experts in the science of helping pet parents with separation distress and anxiety.

All of these behavior specialists provide regular support & guidance for separation distress households virtually, which is ideal for this type of situation.

Thank you for seeking help for your distressed pooch!
