21.01.2022 Separation Anxiety in our Dogs... If COVID-19 has had a silver lining, it’s been getting to spend more time with our pets. Dogs all over the world have enjoyed snuggling into laps while their humans held video conferences and worked away on the phone or computer. Frequent walks and one-on-one time has become more regular, and we’ve all loved it. But a topic of discussion amongst vets, with the easing of restrictions, is whether we’ll see an increase in separation anxiety in ...our dogs? Separation anxiety affects up to 20% of dogs, and is one of the most under-diagnosed behaviour conditions. We see it in dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes, but it is more common in those who have been lost, dumped or surrendered; those that lack foundation training, and those dogs that never leave their owner’s side. Dogs who suffer separation anxiety will usually display signs before three years of age. It’s important to be able to recognize the signs so you can seek early treatment for your pet. It could change their life! Contact us if your dog starts any of these unwanted behaviours when you’re not at home: Vocalisation (howling and barking) Inappropriate elimination in the house Periods of destruction (destroying things your dog wouldn’t normally be interested in, such as the door frame where he sees you enter and exit the house). Excessive digging Together, we’ll determine why your dog is behaving this way when you’re not at home. The best way to do this is capture some video footage, which will give us a good indication of whether your dog is displaying signs of separation anxiety or just acting out. There are also a few things you can do help prevent separation anxiety when things change around your home. 1. Encourage calm, quiet time during the day and have a specific rest spot for your dog. This should be a place for quiet time, with no human interaction 2. Encourage independence in your dog. If your dog seeks attention by pushing his nose under your hand for a pat etc, make sure you ask him to earn the reward. 3. Spend periods of time away from your dog. Leaving him behind when on trips to the supermarket, post office etc. 4. Share the jobs involved with caring for your dog between family members. 5. Don’t make a drama or fuss when you’re leaving and coming home. 6. Provide the right amount of exercise, mental stimulation, training and an enriched environment. Be consistent and take the time to correct when needed. Ensure your training is consistent and clear 7. Ensure you have a routine. Every living species thrives on routine. 8. Seek out knowledge about dog behaviour from books, the internet, a trainer and your vet. Remember, early recognition and treatment of anxiety can make a huge difference to your dog’s life. Any concerns, just give us a yell!
