Why do dogs suffer from separation anxiety? In the process of raising dogs, if our pet owners observe carefully, we will surely find that dogs do not like separation very much. They prefer to get together or stay with their owners all day. If the dog is left alone for a long time, the possibility of sudden separation anxiety in the dog will be very high. So what are the consequences of separation anxiety in dogs? Let’s find out together.
Dogs are pets that prefer to live in groups, so they are more dependent on their owners. If the owner is very busy at work and has little time to spend with the dog, the dog will easily suffer from separation anxiety.
The following are the symptoms of dogs suffering from separation anxiety. Pet owners can take a look together!
Symptoms of separation anxiety:
1. Likes to bark all the time
When a dog suffers from separation anxiety, it will especially like to bark, especially when the owner goes out to work, and the dog will bark all the time in order to keep the owner. If the pet owner goes out, the dog will keep barking, as if calling you!
2. Urinating anywhere
Some dogs are very vindictive. When suffering from separation anxiety, they will not only bark randomly, but also urinate everywhere in order to get revenge on their pet owners. If your dog has such symptoms, it means that he is suffering from separation anxiety disorder!
3. Like to cause destruction
Dogs with separation anxiety disorder will also engage in destructive behavior after urinating everywhere, because they think that the owner does not want it when they go out. If the dog has a grudge, it will destroy all the things that the owner likes. Because the dog knows that these are the items that the pet owner likes, and the pet owner will care about it if it is broken!
4. Follow you all the time
If a dog suffers from separation anxiety, it will definitely follow its owner often. When the owner comes home, the dog will pretend to be pitiful and will always follow the owner. Even if the pet owner goes to the bathroom, the dog will always follow him there, and will sleep where the pet owner is!
5. Will hurt itself
When a dog suffers from severe separation anxiety, it will hurt itself. The dog will chase its tail and bite its own feet. When encountering such a situation, the pet owner should pay more attention to the dog to prevent the dog's condition from becoming more serious!
Improving separation anxiety in dogs:
① Find time to train the dog to adapt to being alone. Try leaving the house, and then go back every two hours. Gradually extend the time away to let the dog know that the owner will come back at the specified time.
② When pet owners go out to work, don’t delay too much and don’t coddle the dog. This will make the dog more dependent on you
③ Prepare more toys for the dog to distract the dog, and leave some clothes at home that he wears regularly. With the owner’s scent, the dog will be more at ease.
Tips for raising a dog:
When raising a dog, the pet owner should pay more attention to the dog and try to spend some time with the dog every day. In this way, the dog will like the pet owner more and separation anxiety will not be so serious. Okay~ I hope all pet owners can receive healthy and cute pet dogs!
