Does this sound like anybody you guys know? All of these things also say that your dog, more than likely, but not always, has Separation Anxiety. Yes, everyone loves it when their dog is going to stay at boarding and the dog is pulling and pulling, trying to get back to you. Now, step back for a moment and think about it this way, think about when you are feeling that little bit of “yeah, I know my dog loves me” kind of feeling as your proudly walking out the door, but do you ever think about how your dog is REALLY feeling? Separation Anxiety is when dogs have anxiety because they either never had confidence or they lost it along the way because they were coddled through life instead of being guided on things that they were afraid of. They can’t speak to you and tell you verbally how they feel, so they have to show you in different ways, and typically, it’s not going to be good for either one of you. Do you ever notice your shoes have disappeared or your socks, or maybe even your underwear? What? The dog is running around the house with your underwear, socks, your husbands sweaty gym shoes! You find them chewed up, or the dog has swallowed the sock or underwear? To the Vet we go for a expensive surgery to get the object out of the dogs stomach. Another example would be that you notice that your dog is having a hard time pooping and you have to glove up and pull it out of your dogs butt. You’re not happy, and neither is your dog. One more example. A piece of furniture that your great grandmother had passed down from generation to generation and when you got home from dinner, your dog chewed it up. It’s not the dogs fault. Your dog was left at home alone to make its own decisions and you were not there to give your dog guidance when your dog was bored, so they made a bad choice and chewed the family furniture up. All of these things are like a domino effect on how you raise your dog and how you correct them.
