A Simple Guide For Treating Separation Anxiety For Dogs

By Christopher McDonald


Animals experience emotions, just like humans. They are also aware of their surroundings and are sensitive enough to feel that something is not right. Thus, when there are times when they can sense that their masters are not around for them, they get upset and worried. Their worries can be manifested in disobedience or ruining household items. However, Los Angeles dog owners are also busy that they cannot properly tend to their pets. Fortunately, there are methods in treating separation anxiety for dogs in Los Angeles.

Many people have this illness, but dogs also experience them. Although they cannot express themselves in words, they display their stress through destructive behavior and frantic actions. They destroy things around the home and often get too noisy. Thus, it is important to know what to do when your dog is experiencing this, in order to bring them back to normal.

First, do not let them know you are going away, or at least, change how you let them know you are going away. Doing this will remove the emotion of your pet from being anxious whenever you leave, and thus will not trigger the anxiety. Give them a treat or distract them with a toy when you go out the door. You can also try to exit through another door, like the one at the back of your house, so they will not notice.

Next, control your emotions around them. Be neutral in approaching to say hello and leaving to say goodbye. When paid too much attention, they will miss it and get used to it, that the next time you leave, they do not know what to do. If not given what they are used to, it might prompt the feeling of being anxious.

A personal pet space is needed. Train them to be independent and do not allow them to sleep beside you. If they are used to have you around all the time, they will get upset when they are left alone. When they can have fun and rest on their own, leaving will not be much of a problem to you.

Another tip is to provide them their favorite treats and toy. If they have their favorite song, then play it. You must make sure that before you leave them, they are comfortable and can enjoy the environment. Avoid placing them in risky situations by exposing them to stressors. They must keep away from anything that could generate anxiety.

The fifth tip is that you should also not be away for a long period of time. If the situation calls for it, call a babysitter or dog walker that could take care of your pet for you. They should be fed, have someone to play with, and even walked outside. This keeps them away from thinking that you are not with them.

If the anxiety is too hard to treat on your own, bring them to a veterinarian to know what to do and to be treated properly. They can be provided the proper medicine and be well attended to. This is also to prevent further problems because if they have no idea know how to cope up with this, they might bring this up on other things around the home and destroy them.

In general, pets should be treated with utmost care and attention. If experiencing any sickness, they should be attended to. Just like any other human and animal, they deserve to be taken care of properly. If they are not treated, they will end up in worse conditions.
