7. Separation anxiety barking
If your dog starts barking excessively every time you leave home, he might be dealing with separation anxiety – a condition that experts believe to affect about 2 in every 10 dogs. These barks are often long and spaced out, and sometimes might sound like howling. Other symptoms of this disorder include destroying pieces of furniture, scratching the front door, and urinating around the house when left alone. This condition can be exhausting for both the animal and the owner, so don’t ignore it and just wait for it to stop. If you suspect that your dog is suffering from separation anxiety, schedule a vet’s appointment and discuss your concerns with the medical expert. He will tell you exactly what to do to manage the situation and help your dog overcome this anxiety. Remember that it is very important to keep your dog healthy, both physically and mentally.
