Symptoms of Separation Anxiety in Dogs

Dogs can be like overly attached friends who hate to see you go. Separation anxiety can manifest in various ways. Here’s what to look out for:

  • Excessive panting and drooling
  • Restlessness or pacing
  • Refusing food or water
  • Barking or howling 
  • Accidents indoors 
  • Chewing on furniture or digging up your yard

At Bark Busters Las Vegas, we’ve encountered it all. As people return to the office after working remotely, separation anxiety in dogs has become as frequent as coffee spills on a Monday morning. With over a decade of experience, we’re here to help transform anxiety into comfort.

Strategies to Alleviate Separation Anxiety

  • Provide your dog with a life that feels as luxurious as a five-star resort, complete with high-quality food, cozy accommodations, and plenty of mental stimulation.
  • Gradually practice leaving them alone—think of it as taking small steps instead of rushing.
  • Establish clear boundaries, much like a coach setting rules for their team.
  • When you return, keep it low-key—there’s no need for a dramatic entrance!
