What is Anxiety in Dogs?
Dogs, like humans, experience anxiety. This anxiety can be experienced occasionally, or in reaction to some sort of stimulus. Although occasional anxiety is a normal, healthy emotion, anxiety that tends to stretch over time – or at levels which are disproportionate to the stimulus – can lead to long-term behavioral issues.
In today’s COVID-related environment, many dogs have grown accustomed to having their owners around “24/7” and a change in that routine
– along with the owner’s absence – can trigger anxious behavior in dogs. Common undesirable behaviors that manifest include defecating in the home, destroying furniture and shoes, restlessness, panting and excessive barking.
Pet owners have been working from home for quite some time and are now either contemplating or have already transitioned back to their previous schedule, the potential for separation anxiety is especially acute.
