Separation Anxiety in Dogs
19 May 2007
We all know that dogs are extremely attached to their masters. And many of us would have heard of instances where dogs whine and pine for their masters when they go away on a long vacation. Some dogs have also been known to exhibit mature behavior when their masters are in trouble or sick.
This attachment comes naturally to them especially if the dog has been brought into the house as a puppy. As a puppy the dog is genetically attached to the mother and the litter in which he is born. When he is taken away from the litter and placed in a ‘foster’ home, he seeks that attachment.
Since the owner provides him with the food and the love that he so desires, the object of attachment becomes the master by extension.
However, this healthy relationship between dog and owner can give rise to undesirable behavior if the dog becomes excessively dependent on the owner.
Separation anxiety in dogs is actually a symptom of the pet’s disapproval of being isolated from the owner. When you see one or all of the following signs in your pet you can suspect that your dog’s uncommon behavior is due to being separated anxiety.
