Using Pressure to Treat Your Dogs Separation Anxiety

WHAT IS DOG SEPARATION ANXIETY?

Leaving your dog or puppy home alone is never easy, but for many dogs, separation from their families can cause severe anxiety and real problems. Veterinarians and trainers call this condition “dog separation anxiety.” Based on our survey of over 2,000 dog owners in the United States, over 13% of all dogs suffer from separation anxiety. And the consequences can be severe for your dog, your family and your property. 

SYMPTOMS OF SEPARATION ANXIETY IN DOGS

According to our surveys and other sources (such as the ASPCA), separation anxiety affects older dogs and puppies alike, and can include a wide variety of symptoms such as indoor urination, defecation, destruction of furniture, barking, howling, chewing, digging, escape attempts and other anxious behaviors. Some dogs express it as restlessness, an attempt to keep you from leaving, or the appearance of general depression. It’s heartbreaking to know that your dog is suffering while you are away, but separation is an unavoidable reality for most families.
