Most cases of separation anxiety are often considered manifestations of misbehavior, thus the best way to combat the problem is to provide adequate and proper training for your pet. Your dog needs to have a strong pack leadership, coupled with obedience and crate training to help overcome the problem. 

Dogs that lack exercise possess excess energy that needs to be used up or else it can fuel the development of various behavior issues. A regular fitness regimen is an essential part of your dog’s life, thus you are responsible in providing your canine buddy with regular and adequate mental and physical stimulation.

Daily exercise such as running, walking, playing, or swimming can do wonders in preventing and/or eliminating symptoms of separation anxiety. Remember that canines are also social creatures, thus regular exercise and playtime are important avenues to channel their physical energies as well as stimulate their minds.

If you are having problems with your pet dog’s behavior, talk with a Greenwood Village veterinarian. Find out more from the site of Cherry Hills Animal Hospital.
