dog separation anxiety
Is my dog with separation anxiety?
He Dachshund five years and every time I leave the house, he moans and cries and barks. The only thing done with me, not the other members of my family. Does the separation anxiety and this is normal. I've been home with him for two of the five years we had it and I am preparing to return to work. The will of behavior change for the worse, because it is running alone? Thank you.
Yes, anxiety apart. He does only with you that causes his mother. It will get worse when you go to work, but it's not too late to fix. You might begin with regression of destructive bowel and get home. You must start with the basket of the idea of toys and also get rubber Kong toys and you can to make little or smear peanut butter inside. This gives them something to work that they enjoy and it takes time to reach the Goodys. Also practice leaving at short intervals, a few minutes to start, leaving the candy, ready to change your portfolio gather keys so he knows its going and then go silent and return quickly without making much noise or a big fuss and after a minute to recognize the dog. If they do a great business, you learn that it is a very important thing too. Gradually increase the waiting time until he becomes more comfortable, you should wait his time alone with their sweets and things. If he's not going to do this, then you may have beginning to think about crate training with him and his box while you are gone, leaving him again with their gifts to not get bored. The box will feel safe even though their safety net, you are gone. If anxiety does not stop then you can talk to your vet about anxiety medications such as Clomicalm and Prozac that help you relax and not panic when it's time you go. Another possible solution is to get him a playmate from a link with its link with you is a kind of being cut during the day. Good luck, I've been in your situation before, there were 4 large dogs and 2 once had a separation anxiety bad, fortunately worked nights in an animal hospital so they took me to work with me and kennel there until I left, but many are not so fortunate as they have to be creative. I hope to help.
