Separation Anxiety in Dogs

Clingy dogs often just want you around because life is more fun with a partner in crime. Separation anxiety is not that.

If your dog seems unusually panicked when you leave or exhibits signs of extreme distress like:

Destructive behaviors
Pacing
Excessive whining or barking
Using the whole house like a toilet
Depressed mood
Aggression

…then it’s time to seek professional help. A veterinarian, pet behaviorist, or trainer who specializes in dogs with separation anxiety should be your go-to resource.

If your dog has no chill (even if it’s low-level garden-variety annoying lack of chill) and it’s too much to handle on your own, schedule a free consultation to find out how we can help! Learning to manage life apart will make your time together that much sweeter.

Ruth created to look at the whole dog for a successful and custom training program. Ruth has been in the dog professional career for eight-plus years and has experience with small and large breeds, behavioral, reactivity, and aggression cases. Ruth loves dogs and is a dog mom to three good doggos. Oakley is a 6yr old Akita and Cattle Dog Mix that she adopted. Zena is a Husky/ Pitt mix that Ruth took in as an unruly puppy. Last but not least is Bean, the five-pound chihuahua that they rescued as well. We love empowering owners and their dogs to enjoy a stress-free life together.
