Your dog is so attached to you that the idea of abandonment is thrust into their brain the moment you become out of sight. What is Dog Separation Anxiety? Slide 3: The Symptoms Be on the lookout for the following symptoms if you suspect your dog may have a serious separation anxiety problem… Slide 4: Chewing up things when you're out or away Urinates or defecates inside your home when you're out Barking, whining, crying or howling at your departure Signs of Resentment Slide 5: Shows no guilt over the destroyed items from your time away Leads to further disobedience Changes the pack hierarchy relationship Can create anxiety and aggression over time Slide 6: Leads to jumping up on guests Can create anxiety induced aggression over time Goes wild when greeting you at arrival Slide 7: Can create hostility with other dogs Can create anxiety induced aggression over time Your Dog is excessively clingy and refuses to be ignored Slide 8: Sleepless nights Leads to long-term health problems Interferes with your quality of life Cries continuously when not sleeping next to you Slide 9: Separation anxiety can be caused by a number of factors. Here are some of the most common… Causes of Dog Separation Anxiety Slide 10: Your dog may be restless. Perhaps he's not getting enough exercise or dog training during the day. If you've been slacking in giving your dog POSITIVE attention, he'll make sure you give him ANY kind of attention. More often than not, he'll rebel and you'll be forced to give him attention for negative behavior. Boredom Slide 11: Before you start crate training your pet, find out if the breed does well will this type of confinement. Some dogs will panic inside the crate, tear up their sleeping quarters and rebel against you the moment they get out. Monitor your dog's response to your training and adjust accordingly. Some dogs are better trained in a closed off room rather than a crate. Confinement Slide 12: Dogs who are not properly socialized don't understand their place in the pecking order of outside animals and people. This can lead to general anxiety outside the home and confusion when left alone with strangers or other dogs. Not Being Properly Socialized Slide 13: If your dog is from a shelter and abused or mistreated by previous owners, he may have trust issues with you. The first sign of your abandonment will send him into a fury of confusion and panic. Trauma doesn't have to be as cut and dry as this either. Anything can qualify. Perhaps your pet is terrified of thunder and lightening. Trauma Slide 14: When you start a dog training routine with your pet, consistency is key. Your dog learns through repetitive lessons and rules. Routine should include the times of the day when you feed your dog, take him out for a walk, train him, put him to sleep, crate train...everything. Changes to the Usual Routine Slide 15: Separation Anxiety Treatments Create a Comforting Environment Ensure that when you leave the house, your dog has plenty of water and warm comfortable bedding. Leave your dog a blanket or article of clothing with your scent on it. Make sure it's something that your dog can chew up without concern. Slide 16: Separation Anxiety Treatments Food for Thought When possible, try to feed your dog just before you leave the house. Slide 17: Separation Anxiety Treatments Relaxing Sounds If you normally have the tv or radio on when you're home, try leaving it on when you leave the house. This can be soothing to your pet and give him a sense of normalcy when you're away. Slide 18: Separation Anxiety Treatments Exercise Anxiety Away Take your dog out for a long walk, playful exercise or a long training session prior to leaving the house. He'll be worn out and tired when you leave and won't suffer from boredom induced separation anxiety. Tucker him out and he'll rest in your absense. Slide 19: Separation Anxiety Treatments Adopt a Buddy Although it's not guaranteed to get rid of dog separation anxiety, buying another pet to keep him company will more than likely reduce his boredom. Slide 20: Separation Anxiety Treatments Downplay your departures NEVER make departures a big deal. Pay very little attention to your dog when you're about to leave. This tactic is best implemented when you first get your puppy but it can still be very effective if your dog is a little older. It sounds mean, but ignoring your dog for 10 minutes and then slipping out the door creates a better transition for your separation. Slide 21: Separation Anxiety Treatments Greeting Etiquette I know it's hard but avoid over the top greetings when you come home and see your dog. Try to remain calm and warm. Positive reinforcement or enthusiasm should be saved to praise your dogs good behavior. I'm not telling you to be cold to your dog but if separation anxiety is a problem, these are the steps you'll need to take. Slide 22: Separation Anxiety Treatments Practice Time Apart Try putting your dog outside, in the backyard, during scheduled times of the day. Prevent him from following you around the house. Force some alone time between the two of you. Slide 23: These techniques will give you GREAT start, but if you really want to end your dog separation anxiety problem in under a week, there's no other program that compares to the one at: www.Dog-Training-Works.com Check it out Now!
