Signs of Dog Separation Anxiety

Dog Separation Anxiety

Your dog keeps on following you wherever you are going. Sometimes, a dog is afraid to be left alone whenever you are not within his eyesight. You may find that he will always follow you around the house and whenever you move to another area of the house you will also find him there. It is called “velcro-ing” when your dog does this behavior because he is always stuck on you. But in clinical terms, it is called hyper-attachment and it is a very clear sign that he is showing signs of dog separation anxiety.

Another identifier that your dog has this kind of anxiety is when he becomes really worried when you are about to leave. You may find this really smart in dogs that they know how you act when you are about to leave the home. Whenever he sees you prepping up for a night out or going to work or when he sees you holding the car keys at times they will block you from going out of the door and they will run back in forth. These signs tell you that your dog is worried that you are about to leave.

When you see signs of dog separation anxiety, it sometimes means that he needs your attention. Take time to pamper or play with him so that he is going to be assured that he is alright even if you are not around. But it is much better when you are going to ask your vet about anxieties in dogs.
