Having multiple dogs or multiple pets can make identifying and treating
separation behavior issues feel a bit overwhelming… but it can be done!
While you can just throw a camera up and see what happens when you are
away, you should consider a few things. Let’s start with safety,
confinement training, and whodunnit? -
It may be spooky or uncomfortable but RULE #1 from this trainer: Never
Correct a Growl. A growl is an audible and obvious sign that your dog is
uncomfortable and needs something to change. -
If your dog chews on inappropriate things even when you are home then that
is a safety that needs to be managed during separation training. That may
look like management via putting things away or in containers. But that may
also look like a type of confinement away from areas or items that could be
potentially dangerous… -
Most often for older dogs who have separation issues pop up, we see
barking, howling, whining, soiling the house, and restlessness or inability
to settle. These are the same signs of separation anxiety or separation
issues as in younger dogs… but that may not be the whole story. -
For dogs who may have separation anxiety, reactivity, shyness, fear, and alone time problem behaviors.
-
I compare when to use a sit and when to use a pattern game to help your dog focus or calm down when something exciting, scary, or frustrating is in the environment.
-
Separation anxiety can be stressful to see and live with. Know that it is treatable and this is where to start.
