Help your Dog with Separation Anxiety | The Battersea Way

Some dogs can find being left on their own an overwhelming and stressful experience, and this is sometimes called Separation Anxiety.

Separation anxiety in dogs, or separation-related behaviours, can occur for a few different reasons such as boredom, a fear of being alone, or even a lack of confidence. In order to successfully solve your dog's separation anxiety, and stop it from happening it's important to understand what’s causing it for your dog so you can help them in the right way.

Remember that each dog is an individual and will progress through any kind of training at different rates. When you're trying to help your dog with stress behaviours and separation anxiety you should always make sure you are working within your dog’s limits and that you are keeping a close eye on their stress levels.
