Dig into the causes of your dog's separation anxiety, from attachment to boredom. Knowing the trigger unlocks the solution.
Alone Blues
Regular walks, playtime, and mental stimulation help burn off energy and reduce anxiety. Choose games they love.
Exercise
Designate a comfy, quiet space with their favorite bed and toys. Encourage independent relaxation there.
Safe
Invest in interactive toys and puzzles that keep them busy and challenged when you're away. Food puzzles are great!
Puzzle
Gradually practice leaving, starting with short absences and rewarding calm behavior. Build their confidence and reduce anxiety.
Desensitize
Reward independent behavior and positive interactions when they're not clinging. This reinforces desired behavior.
Treat
If anxiety is severe or causing stress, consult a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for personalized guidance and support.
