So, you know that feeling when your dog is whining and barking at the window in the morning, seemingly unable to calm down? Or maybe it's the sound of their paws scratching against the glass in an attempt to get out?
If so, your dog may be suffering from separation anxiety. When they're left alone for long periods of time, dogs can feel anxious and stressed out—and no matter how much we love our furry friends, we can't always be there with them.
If you think your dog might have separation anxiety, here are some signs to look out for:
● Excessive
attention-seeking behavior
● Barking
or whining when you leave the house
● Destructive
chewing and/or scratching at doors or windows
● Urinating,
defecating or vomiting in the house when left alone
● Visiting
the door often while you're gone
● Pacing
and other repetitive behaviors when left alone
● Panic attacks when separated from a beloved family member
