Separation anxiety: a small step plan and specialist support. Schedule a consultation at SpotMeUp.
Howling, destroying, salivating and panicking after leaving the house are not "malice", but stress. The worst thing you can do is punish your dog when you come back - the dog doesn't make the logical connection and the stress increases.
The first step is to observe: after how many minutes does anxiety appear and what makes it worse (keys, shoes, jacket). Then you work on a micro scale: short trips, returns without emotions, building a calm routine.
In SpotMeUp, select Animals → Training and behavioral science and schedule a consultation. In the comments, add: symptoms, time of occurrence of the problem and whether the dog is left alone every day or occasionally.
Frequently asked questions:
Does separation anxiety “go away on its own”? Rarely - usually requires a plan and consistency.
Does a kennel help? Sometimes, but if used incorrectly, it can worsen stress.
