Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out for some advice on managing my dog’s separation anxiety. I recently adopted a 2-year-old rescue, and while she’s settled in well at home, I’ve noticed she gets extremely anxious whenever I leave the house, even if it’s just for a short period. She starts barking, howling, and sometimes even chews on furniture.
I’ve tried a few things, like leaving her with puzzle toys and ensuring she’s exercised before I leave, but I’m not seeing much improvement. I’m concerned about the stress she’s experiencing, and I really want to make sure I’m doing the right things to help her feel more comfortable when I’m not around.
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? What methods or training techniques have worked for you in reducing separation anxiety? Any advice on how to create a more relaxing environment for her while I’m gone would be greatly appreciated!
Looking forward to hearing your experiences!
Thanks in advance!
