separation distress

separation

Left alone all by himself he panics, but any company will do – human or dog.

This is quite a straightforward separation case. Two-year-old Fox Terrier Rufus panics when he’s left all by himself. He came from the breeder to live with the young lady at about eight months of age. Until then he always had the company of other dogs. He’s never been all by Read more…

Separation panic. Isolation distress. Separation anxiety




Noah suffers from separation panic whenever he’s left without human company.  He’s most distressed when his young lady owner’s mother leaves him.

The whole family suffer too. Their two happy Standard Poodles are no substitute for human company.

Frenchie suffers separation panic when leftNoah howls.

Not only does it distress the family, it upsets the neighbour. (more…)

Early Habituation. Socialisation. Variety

Lack of early habituation to people and life in general has a lot to answer for in a great number of the cases I go to. This is neither sufficiently early habituation and socialisation, nor sufficiently comprehensive habituation. Early habituation or socialisation? We tend to say ‘socialisation’ when we mean Read more…

Separation Distress. Insecurity. Panic When Away from the Lady

Darcy watches the lady all the time. When she’s out of sight he pants and he paces. Even when left at home with the gentleman, he whines and stresses. Separation specifically and only from the lady freaks him out. Strangely, he shows no sign of being possessive of her nor Read more…

Left All Alone. Panics. Tries to Escape.

The Beagle can’t be left all alone. When they adopted Libby a couple of weeks ago, they had no clue they wouldn’t be able to go out to work and happily leave her. She had previously been fostered out by the rescue – to a home with several dogs. Her Read more…

Fear of People. Separation Distress

Bentley barks. The little dog’s main fears and consequent barking is either directly, or indirectly, associated with his fear of people. Bentley is an adorable and much-loved Coton de Tulear. In researching the breed, the first site I looked at said that they hate being on their own and that Read more…

Barks in Panic When She Leaves Him

There has been a big change in young Cockerpoo Murphy’s life recently. They moved into a new house two weeks ago. The lady was able to go out without any problems before. Now he barks in panic as she walks out of the door. She comes home to a panting Read more…

Panic. Separation Anxiety. Left Alone

This is very sad. It all started off so well for the first few months of their Frenchie puppy’s life. They could happily leave her to go to work, coming home at lunch time. Then they had to go away for a couple of weeks and Margot was left with Read more…

Yorkie Pup’s Separation Barking

The tiny six-month Yorkie is so beautiful I could not resist three photos. Gizmo cries when left alone. The key to relieving him and his young humans from all the anxiety and stress around separation is to find out just why he is unhappy when left. Separation Anxiety is a blanket term that covers Read more…

Marking or Separation Anxiety?

Whether marking or anxiety through being left, the root cause will be Herbie’s feeling of insecurity. Greyhounds have hidden depth. It’s easy to assume that because five-year old Herbie lies around quite a lot and appears peaceful and a bit lazy, that he’s calm inside. I noticed a lot of Read more…
