Figures suggest that up to 8 out of every 10 dogs could have separation issues including separation anxiety

If you think your dog might be one of them, there’s lots you can do to get started with helping them.

More dogs than ever are struggling with separation anxiety and other separation issues. This can be a distressing issue for you as well as your dog. It impacts their wellbeing, and their symptoms can be stressful, upsetting and disruptive.

If your dog is:

  • Barking, howling or whining when you leave the house?
  • Do they chew things up, dig up carpets and knock things over in their attempts to get to you?
  • Maybe it’s a struggle to get out of the house without them?
  • Or perhaps they start looking anxious as soon as you start to gather your things together ready to leave?

Your dog could have separation anxiety.

I’ve been there myself and there’s nothing like the freedom of knowing you can put down your phone and stop watching their every move, and get on with dinner with friends, attending an important meeting or even just getting the shopping done without having to rush home.

If you never get started then you’ll never see change. Although working through separation anxiety is a journey, you can easily get started now!
