Separation anxiety is one of the most emotionally challenging behaviour problems—for both dogs and their humans. Dogs suffering from separation anxiety don’t just “miss you” when you leave—they experience genuine panic and distress. Left untreated, it can lead to destructive behaviour, escape attempts, constant barking, or even self-harm.
 
🐶 What is Separation Anxiety?
Separation anxiety occurs when a dog becomes extremely distressed when left alone or separated from their primary person. It’s not about being naughty or stubborn—it’s an emotional response rooted in insecurity, over-attachment, or fear of being abandoned.
 
🔍 Common Signs Include:
Barking, howling, or whining as soon as you leave
Chewing doors, windows, or furniture
Accidents in the house despite being house trained
Pacing, drooling, or excessive panting
Destructive behaviour only when alone
Trying to escape or follow you out the door
Shadowing you constantly when you’re home
If your dog can’t settle when you’re gone—or even when you’re just out of sight—they may be struggling with separation anxiety.
