About Separation Anxiety

“ I wonder if he tears things up to get even with me. Maybe it’s my fault. ”

Dogs are social animals, and they naturally bond with family members in their household. When separated from their family, certain dogs can become extremely stressed. These dogs act out as a result of the fear and anxiety triggered by their separation from you.

Many dog owners mistakenly assume these behaviors are a result of spite, disobedience or poor training. Your dog is not a bad dog. His bad behavior may be the result of separation anxiety.

The important thing to remember is that your dog is suffering from a treatable medical condition.

Recognizing the Signs

Canine Separation Anxiety

Dr. Steve Connell provides a brief overview of the symptomatic behaviors commonly associated with canine separation anxiety.

Signs of separation anxiety vary greatly in kind and severity. Some signs are very subtle; others can be more severe. Signs most often occur when your dog is left alone, generally when you leave or immediately after.

If this sounds like your dog, he might be suffering from separation anxiety. Take our Separation Anxiety Questionnaire and consult with your veterinarian to see if Reconcile® (fluoxetine hydrochloride) chewable tablets, along with the BOND™ simple training plan, can help you and your dog learn to manage this treatable condition.
