Description
Separation anxiety is a prevalent problem, affecting 14-29% of all dogs. Dogs with separation anxiety exhibit signs of anxiety, fear, or panic, including excessive vocalisation, destruction, and house soiling. This typically occurs when the dog doesn’t have physical access (when the dog’s owners are out of the house) but it can also occur when the owners are home but the dog cannot reach them. Separation anxiety is a serious behavioural issue, adversely affecting the quality of life of the dog and his owners. It is frequently mis- or under diagnosed making it a huge canine welfare concern.
