Have you ever wondered what dogs feel when they have separation anxiety? Seeing our furry friends stressed and anxious when we leave is heartbreaking. They experience loneliness, fear, and confusion, just like we do. That panic is displayed in outward behaviors, such as excessive barking and destruction. As pet parents, it hurts us too – we feel guilty, worried, and helpless.
But there's hope! You can ease their anxiety with patience, empathy, help from a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT), friends, family, and community, and sometimes a Veterinarian. When our dogs feel secure and relaxed, it's pure joy for them and immense relief for us. The bond becomes even stronger; those wagging tails and happy faces remind us that love and comfort can conquer fear.
