Dog Separation Anxiety: 7 Proven Ways to Help Your Dog Cope

Separation anxiety affects up to 20% of dogs. Signs include excessive barking, destructive behavior, house soiling and attempts to escape when left alone.

1. Gradual Desensitization

Start by leaving for just 5 minutes, then gradually increase the time. This teaches your dog that you always come back.

2. Calming Products

Our Dog Anxiety Vest applies gentle pressure that calms many anxious dogs. Our Dog Calming Diffuser uses lavender essential oil to reduce anxiety.

3. Exercise Before Leaving

A tired dog is a calm dog. Give your dog 30-45 minutes of vigorous exercise before you leave. Our Automatic Ball Launcher is perfect for this.

4. Mental Stimulation

Leave puzzle toys filled with treats to keep your dog occupied. Our Wooden Puzzle Toy can keep dogs busy for hours.

5. Calming Music or TV

Leave classical music or dog-specific TV channels playing. Studies show this reduces anxiety in dogs.

6. Pet Camera

Monitor your dog remotely and even dispense treats with our Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser.

7. Professional Help

For severe cases, consult a certified dog behaviorist or veterinarian. Some dogs benefit from anti-anxiety medication combined with behavior modification.
