Dog Separation Anxiety

..... help is at hand!


If Fido or Fifi is suffering from dog separation anxiety, they can become very upset, fearful and anxious when you're not home.

Separation anxiety in dogs causes symptoms which can range from annoying the neighbors with barking/howling while you're out, to destroying your home and possessions - even self-inflicted injuries.

You can find the signs and symptoms of this canine anxiety disorder on our Separation Anxiety in your dog page.

Although it's a fact of life that there are many times when you need to leave your dog at home, you can still help alleviate little Fidos' distress, with dog training and behavior modification techniques and/or medications and natural products depending on his level of anxiety.

There are also different interactive toys and special DVDs and CDs that are especially designed to keep your pup amused, entertained and distracted while you're gone. You can find a selection of the best of these on my Dog Relaxation CD page.

Coupled with the measures mentioned in the other pages, these can be a very valuable way of keeping Fidos' mind off his loneliness (and consequently, keep his teeth off your furniture!).

Here are some of the best that we could find. Try them yourself and see which ones work for you.

Dog Sitter Combo Pack - Vol. I & II
Dog Sitter Combo Pack - Vol. I & II

The Movie for Dogs
The Movie for Dogs

This fun DVD (designed just for dogs) is divided into different sections - water play, fly ball and agility competition, dog park play and much more. Soundtrack has different audio cues to keep your dogs interest. Programed to repeat as long as the player is on.

Note!The soundtrack contains barking and doorbells ringing, which is designed to keep your pups' attention. But, if your dog is inclined to get overexcited/worried when he hears the doorbell or other dogs barking I'd suggest running this DVD with the sound turned down. Your dog will still enjoy the video action, but without the noise stimulation!
