Let's talk about separation anxiety in dogs. What causes it, preventions and how to solve it.

First off what is separation anxiety in a dog?
Separation anxiety is when your dog exhibits extreme stress from the time you leave them alone until the time you return. Symptoms can vary, but they will act as if they are terrified to be in the house alone on their own. Think of it as the equivalent of a panic attack.

You may ask what is the difference between separation anxiety and normal canine behavior?
Separation anxiety is a serious condition, and it goes beyond the occasional whine when you leave the house. It is definitely not the same as boredom and the occasional mischief when your dog is left alone. It is the result of legitimate stress.
So before you label a "destroyed house" or potty accidents as separation anxiety you need to be sure it's not the case of inadequate training. So ask yourself this, does your dog truly understand good manners even when you're not watching them? Are they 100% potty trained? One of the best ways to see what's really going on when you're not home is to get an audio or video footage of your dogs behavior while you're away.

So what are the signs of of separation anxiety in a dog?
Just like people dogs can exhibit stress in many ways so there is no one sign of defining separation anxiety. There are a variety of symptoms. If your dog is only showing one or two of them occasionally then it may not be a sign of separation anxiety but if your do is showing multiple symptoms on a regular basis then they may be suffering from it. Below are some behavior signs a dog may exhibit from separation anxiety:

1) Anxious behaviors including pacing, whining, or trembling when you're gone or as you get ready to leave

2) Excessive barking or howling

3) Destructive acts like chewing or digging particularly around doors or windows

4) Accidents in the house

5) Excessive drooling or panting

6) Desperate and prolonged attempts to escape which could end in serious injury

So what exactly causes separation anxiety in dogs?
It's unclear why some are more prone to separation anxiety than others. There are theories as to what may cause this. Theories that include, never been previously left alone, and dramatic separation (such as to be seen in some, but not all, shelter dogs).
Other triggers to watch out for will involve life changes like a sudden switch in schedule, a move to a new house, or the sudden absence of a family member. There has been some research that has even pointed out that a lack of exercise is a possible cause to separation anxiety. Due to so many triggers for separation anxiety it is very essential to work on prevention and start treatment at the first sign.

What can you do about your dogs separation anxiety?
Here are some methods of treatment that you can take:

1) Crate training- Crate training is an important training tool and the solution for many puppy challenges. It is not cruel or unhealthy if it is used appropriately. It can provide your pup with a safe, quiet place to relax. The trick is to teach your dog to associate the crate with good things like chew toys, food puzzles, etc so they are happy to spend time inside. Some dogs feel more comfortable and safe in their crate they are left alone. However though one dogs my panic, so watch your dogs behavior to see if they settle right down or iff the anxiety symptoms continue to go up.

2) Desensitization and counter conditioning- It is very important that you teach your dog to be comfortable in the world and to form a positive associations with new experiences. That includes time away from you. Best way to do this is to teach your so that separation has its rewards. You need to start by leaving them for a short period of time then gradually go longer each time.If your dog id already conditioned into going into stress mode then you need to countering that reaction by using a treat that they really love and that you only bring it out for important lessons and rewards. If they get a treat right before you leave then your dog may look forward to you leaving.

3) Exercise- Exercise is very important in a dogs daily routine but it can't cure separation anxiety. It can only help treat and prevent it. You need to make sure that your dog is getting the right amount of exercise. Exercise is based on their age so every dog needs the right amount of age appropriate physical exercise. A tired and content do who has has the right amount of exercise is more likely to settle down the. you leave. Physical exercise is not the only exercise. Dogs need mental exercise as well so getting a puzzle toy and using cognitive games are all good choices for mental exercise.

4) Medication or natural supplements- training and counter conditioning are not enough sometimes. There are some vets who will recommend medication to help. There is alprazolam which is usually prescribed for anxiety and panic disorders. When it comes to prescribed medication it is always best to consult your vet and go over the proper usage of medication.
There are supplements that you can use as well like CBD that can bring your dog relief from separation anxiety. Again it is always best to consult your vet even with supplements.
Besides medication or supplements there are the options of canine anxiety relief like the Thundershirt. You can get most canine anxiety relief items from your local pet store.

So can separation anxiety always be prevented?
Well, no. Separation anxiety isn't always preventable, even despite your best efforts.

Is separation anxiety a learned behavior?
Only simulated separation anxiety is a learned behavior. This is often manifested when a dog lacks the leadership and self control it needs. This is where the dog knows that he will get attention if he acts badly.

Separation anxiety doesn't always go away so you want to make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable by helping him manage the symptoms.
