1. Your dog destroys things
Often times puppies will chew things up. However, if your dog destroys things only while you aren’t home, this can be a sign of separation anxiety in your dog. We have even heard of dogs tear through walls!
2. Your pet goes to the bathroom on the floor
Dogs ever now and then can have an accident in the house. But if your dog only goes to the bathroom while you aren’t home then his can be another sign. Dogs should not have to wait longer than 10 hours at most to go to the bathroom. If this is the case then no wonder they went to the bathroom!
3. Barking a lot during the day
All dogs bark a little. Some dogs bark a lot. This depends a lot on the breed of dog. However, if your dog barks for long periods of time while you are gone this can be a sign of separation anxiety in your dog. How will you know? If you have neighbors you are sure to find out!
4. Whining or looking depressed
Your dog may whine when you come home. However, if they are whining and look depressed throughout the day this can be another sign.
5. Pace and pant a lot
If your dog walks around like it does not know where to go this can be a sign. Also, if your dog pants this can be another sign that your dog is experiencing anxiety from you being gone.
6. Vomiting
Dogs often times eat too much and too fast. This can cause them to vomit. However, if you find your dog doing this especially when you are gone this can be yet another sign.
7. Overly excited when you return home
Your dog will probably be excited when you return home. They may bark a little or give you a kiss. However, if your dog runs all around your house or can’t stop moving and shakes its tale excessively, this can be a sign of separation anxiety in your dog.
