How To Properly Deal With Separation Anxiety For Dogs

By Jeffrey Edwards


It can be very telling that the greatest example of mutual interspecies relationship is that between dogs and humans. In fact, this relationship has spiraled well out control to the point that some dogs expressly cant live without their human best friends. Separation Anxiety for Dogs in Los Angeles is one such phenomenon that drives home this point.

Its saying something about the human and dog bond that they are mutually attached to one another. Humans professedly love their mutts, and miss them when theyre away for some time. However, its usually not to the point of being deeply wrecked and neurotic, as is the wont of some dogs.

Dogs are extremely intelligent creatures. Not only that, but theyre also quite human, if you get the drift. They have all these traits and mannerisms that we understand, and vice versa. Theyre proof that empathy and understanding can exist beyond words.

After all, youre entitled to go around and traverse the places where Fido is generally not allowed, like the office, for example. Therefore, a dog that doesnt condone being left alone at home for any stretch of time can be really worrying. After all, thats telling you that hes suffering from some or other irregularity not present in well adjusted dogs. There must be a screw loose, so to speak.

That can be cute at the beginning. But when the pooch has been too clingy to the point that youre actually worried about leaving him alone at home because of what he can wind up doing, then thats already a problem. After all, you are concerned of your dog so much and are aware that pets who have separation anxiety wind up not only damaging your property but also injuring and harming themselves.

It will no doubt be an unwelcome shock to go back to your house and find that your chairs and tables have been upturned, your walls scratched, your carpets soiled, and your low cabinets hanging by their hinges. Its as if an indoor hurricane formed and laid waste during your absence. Thats for metaphorical purposes, though, because you actually know the real culprit.

However, it would not do to diagnose all by yourself, since its practically an illness that entitles dogs to a range of heavy duty medications. If your dog expresses any of these symptoms, for example, it could be that he wasnt house trained in the first place, or was just indulging in territorial marking habits. He may also be merely teething or just bored. Also, it could be that they suffer from similar though discrete dysfunctions such as phobias. Correct diagnosis is requisite since it will set your mind at rest and allow you to better anticipate his behavior.

At the same time, though, you noticed that his teeth are broken, his nails are damaged, and his paws cut and scraped. All for trying to get to you when it felt abandoned. Which is why all the possible exit points, such as the doors and windows have been lacerated and gashed beyond belief. And its not like you werent given warnings, either. Youve noticed the symptoms for the longest time. As you expressed some cues that you were going out, he had barked, whined, scratched, salivated, and acted out literally every vestige of distress imaginable that any discerning pet owner can identify. Not to mention that hes too attached and too fond of you, too much even for his own good.

Anyway, you now realize that reprimanding this intelligent yet uncomprehending creature is actually counterproductive. You know that there are a range of solutions and treatments you can opt for. First, youd try counter conditioning and will for it to actually take effect. If not, you may go on to prescribed anxiety medications. The bottom line is that its not your beloved pets fault, and all the damage was not of his own volition. And so you decide to work out this pickle together. Because thats what best friends do.
