Your dog loves spending time with you, and you enjoy her company as well. However, you can’t always spend time with your pet. You have other things to tend to, like work. Is your pet overly upset when you head out the door?

Separation anxiety in canines happens when your pet takes issue with you leaving to the point that he has a very intense, physical reaction to the event. This continues while you are away, and your pet grows more and more upset about the situation. It also means that your dog is unable to calm himself down during this time. He may take part in atypical behavior, and leave behind evidence of difficulties in your absence. Luckily there are measures that can be taken to help your pet deal with separation anxiety.
