• Ok I know my dog has separation anxiety. And ive been trying everything. When i leave he will bark thee entire time im gone....and i come home and he has sweaty paws. I give him a bone when i leave to keep him entertained and when i come home i take it away...and i keep doing that and but he ignores the bone when i leave, ive video taped him and he just barks.. I come home from a long day at work and i check his blanket to see if its warm and its not....so that means he was not lying down or sleeping. I don't know what to do. Its not good for him to be barking so excessive...I need help!!!

  Separation Anxiety Cure for Dogs Turn your dog's frown upside down with these proven cures for dog separation anxiety. Remember, if you want the step-by-step program for getting rid of your dog's separation anxiety, you'll want to check out the Sit Stay Fetch program on the next page. In the meantime, these strategies should give you a terrific head start. Create a Comforting Environment: Ensure that when you leave the house, your dog has plenty of water and warm comfortable bedding. Leave your dog a blanket or article of clothing with your scent on it. Make sure it's something that your dog can chew up without concern. Food for Thought: When possible, try to feed your dog just before you leave the house. Relaxing Sounds: If you normally have the tv or radio on when you're home, try leaving it on when you leave the house. This can be soothing to your pet and give him a sense of normalcy when you're away. Exercise away Anxiety: It's important that your dog is stimulated with exercise and training regularly. Take your dog out for a long walk, playful exercise or a long training session prior to leaving the house. He'll be worn out and tired when you leave and won't suffer from boredom induced separation anxiety. Tucker him out and he'll rest in your absense. Adopt a Buddy: Although it's not guaranteed to get rid of dog separation anxiety, buying another pet to keep him company will more than likely reduce his boredom. Downplay your Departures: NEVER make departures a big deal. Pay very little attention to your dog when you're about to leave. This tactic is best implemented when you first get your puppy but it can still be very effective if your dog is a little older. It sounds mean, but ignoring your dog for 10 minutes and then slipping out the door creates a better transition for your separation. Greeting Etiquette: I know it's hard but avoid over the top greetings when you come home and see your dog. Try to remain calm and warm. Positive reinforcement or enthusiasm should be saved to praise your dogs good behavior. I'm not telling you to be cold to your dog but if separation anxiety is a problem, these are the steps you'll need to take. Practice Time Apart: Try putting your dog outside, in the backyard, during scheduled times of the day. Prevent him from following you around the house. Force some alone time between the two of you. These techniques will give you GREAT start, but if you really want to end your dog separation anxiety problem in under a week, there's no other program that compares to "Sit Stay Fetch". This program goes so far beyond just solving a dog separation anxiety problem I don't know how any dog owner can survive without it.
