Separation Anxiety in Dogs.
Separation anxiety can affect all breeds of dogs in varying degrees and severity. This type of anxiety can start to manifest itself when the dog cannot learn to settle himself when left alone. This can lead to unwanted behaviours such as self-harming, destructive chewing, and escapism. Other behaviours can also include excessive panting, toileting issues, howling or excessive barking. It can become such a major issue that the dogs’ health and well-being are severely affected.
This issue cannot be dealt with overnight. It will take time and commitment to achieve a successful outcome. It is unlikely that you will ever be able to completely cure your dogs’ anxiety however by trying the following tips you can help reduce the severity of his symptoms.
1. Regular exercise improves the mental health of your dog. Exercising your dog just before you go out will not only help him feel more tired but will also release feel good chemicals in your dogs’ brain. No time for a walk? Try a quick game of fetch, tug, or nose games.
2. Have your dog relax in another room in his crate or a fenced off area while you are home to get him used to not being near you all the time. Start off with very short periods of time, such as 30 seconds to a minute, depending on how bad the issue is. If the dog can’t cope with this amount of time, only leave the room for a few seconds. Slowly build up the time period. Reward him with a treat for being quiet and relaxing.
3. Expand this technique to actually leaving the house. Firstly, leave your house for a few seconds and return. Do this multiple times. Once your dog is comfortable with this, extend the time out from a few seconds to longer periods. Once your dog is used to this, leave for longer and longer periods. Remember to do this gradually or you risk him reverting to his old behaviours. If your dog barks when you leave, wait until he stops barking before you come back in.
4. Keep your departures low key. Dogs learn your routine and know when you are getting ready to leave the house, hence he starts to get anxious before you even walk out the door. Keep him in another room so that he can’t observe you getting ready.
5. Leave things for your dog to do such as creating a sniffari for him either in the house or outside. This can include leaving some low-calorie treats in different places for him to find, or sprinkling some essential oils, such as chamomile, around the place. Not only you’re your dog like the smell, it is very calming for him. You can also try puzzles, chew toys, cow hooves or a kong stuffed with his favourite food. Give it to him as you are leaving.
6. Leave an old t-shirt with your scent on it in his bed. He can’t see you but he can smell you.
7. Leave the TV or radio on as background noise. Choose a meditation channel, or there are even channels dedicated to calming sounds for dogs.
8. Seek professional help. If techniques are not helping, seek the services of a professional dog trainer, dog behaviourist or your vet who can give you advice in terms of medication.

PROBLEM JUMPING
Do you know what it’s like when you enter the front door after a hard day at work and your big slobbery dog runs and launches himself into your arms because he just can’t contain his excitement at seeing you. Awesome right?
Some people love this, and I get it. I love it too! The only issue is when grandma comes to visit and your 40kg German Shephard is just as excited to see her and you have to dive to catch the dog mid-air to prevent an impending disaster.
The problem is that dogs can’t decipher between who they can and can’t jump on. If they do it to you, they are going to do it to anyone that visits the house. Hence, you may need to reconsider this little issue. So, if you want to change this behaviour in your dog, read on.
Firstly, try to manage the situation. If you can, keep the dog separate from you until he calms down. Then once he is calm, give him a low-key greeting.
If this isn’t possible, when your dog jumps on you, you should ignore the behaviour or turn around to remove access to you. Alternatively, give him something else to do which is the complete opposite to jumping such as sit/stay/drop or go to mat. Only when he listens to your request does he get your attention and affection. If he starts to jump again, repeat the process.
Once your dog can consistently resist the urge to jump on you, start increasing the difficulty. Jump around and act excited. Your dog will respond and get excited. Now put him into a sit/stay. Repeat these steps until your dog consistently responds to your request to sit/stay.
The key is consistency, and all family members must be on board. Initially use treats to reward him for his good behaviour but this can be phased out.
For a more detailed plan on how to change your dog’s poor jumping habits, just ask us for a free training handout!
