Natural Calm for Canines: Exploring Homeopathic Remedies for Dog Separation Anxiety

Introduction

Separation anxiety in dogs is a significant concern that affects the well-being of our furry companions. It is a psychological state where a dog experiences distress and exhibits a range of abnormal behaviors when parted from its owner. This condition is not restricted by age, meaning that puppies as well as adult and senior dogs can all be susceptible to it.

The root cause of separation anxiety often lies in the dog's inability to cope with solitude and an excessive attachment to its owner. In today's fast-paced world, many individuals choose to have dogs as pets but find it challenging to be with them constantly due to hectic work schedules and extensive social obligations. Dogs that have not been gradually acclimated to spending time alone are more prone to developing separation anxiety. For example, a dog that has always had its owner around and has never been given the opportunity to be independent in a safe and controlled environment is likely to become overly reliant on the owner's presence.

The symptoms of separation anxiety in dogs are diverse and can be quite distressing for both the dog and the owner. One of the initial signs is an extreme sensitivity to the owner's actions preceding departure. Merely the sound of keys jingling or the gate being opened can trigger a nervous reaction in the dog. It may jump up, pace restlessly, or display signs of agitation. Once the owner has left, the dog may engage in behaviors such as searching the house aimlessly or positioning itself near the doorway, as if waiting for the owner's return. This is an indication of the dog's confusion and anxiety about being left alone.

Another common manifestation is destructive behavior. When left unsupervised, a dog with separation anxiety may chew on furniture, scratch at doors and walls, or create a general mess. This behavior is not typical when the owner is present and is a clear signal that the dog is experiencing internal turmoil due to the separation. The destruction is often a result of the dog's attempt to relieve its stress or to seek attention.

Excessive barking is also a prominent symptom. A dog that is usually quiet in the owner's presence may start barking incessantly as soon as it senses that the owner is about to leave. This barking may continue even after the owner has exited the premises. The barking serves as a form of communication, expressing the dog's distress and its desire for the owner to return. It can be a nuisance to neighbors and can also further exacerbate the dog's anxiety as it expends energy and becomes more worked up.

Inappropriate urination and defecation are additional signs of separation anxiety. A dog that is otherwise well-trained may suddenly start relieving itself indoors when left alone. This is not a matter of disobedience but rather a physiological response to the stress and anxiety it is experiencing. The dog's internal state of agitation disrupts its normal bladder and bowel control, leading to accidents.

Physical symptoms such as shaking and shortness of breath are also observable. The dog may tremble visibly, and its breathing may become rapid and shallow. These are involuntary responses to the emotional distress it is feeling. If the anxiety persists and escalates, more severe physical symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting can occur. The dog's digestive system is affected by the prolonged stress, and its body tries to cope in various ways, sometimes resulting in these unpleasant manifestations.

Finally, continuous licking of a particular body part, such as the feet, is a behavior often associated with separation anxiety. The dog may lick obsessively in an attempt to self-soothe. However, this can lead to problems such as hair loss and, in extreme cases, skin ulcers. The repetitive licking causes damage to the skin and fur, and if left untreated, can lead to secondary infections and further complications.

In conclusion, separation anxiety in dogs is a complex and multi-faceted issue that requires careful attention and understanding. Recognizing the symptoms and understanding the underlying causes are the first steps in helping our canine friends. By providing appropriate training, gradually acclimating them to being alone, and creating a stable and comfortable environment, we can help reduce the likelihood and severity of separation anxiety. Additionally, seeking professional help from veterinarians or animal behaviorists may be necessary in more severe cases to ensure the well-being of our beloved pets and to maintain a harmonious relationship between dogs and their owners.

 

The Performance of the Dog Separation Anxiety

1.BehaviorWhen the Owner is at Home

When the owner is at home, the dog suffering from separation anxiety may have some specific performance. They tend to follow the owner all the time, and when the owner walks to which room, the dog will follow to which room, as if they don't want to leave the owner for a moment. This is because the dog is afraid that the owner will leave at any time, so it follows the owner closely to get a sense of security.

In addition, such dogs may also display excessive clinginess. They might constantly nudge the owner for attention, seeking physical contact like leaning against the owner or jumping up to be petted. Even when the owner is sitting or lying down, the dog may stay right beside them, often with a watchful eye, as if on guard against any sudden departure.

Another behavior could be whining or whimpering. They may emit soft, plaintive sounds even when there is no apparent reason, simply because they are in a state of underlying anxiety about potential separation. This whining might intensify when the owner makes any move that could potentially signal an impending departure, such as getting up from a chair or reaching for a coat.

Some dogs may also have difficulty relaxing and may seem restless. They might pace back and forth within the house, unable to settle down and engage in normal activities like playing with their toys or simply lying down to rest. Their attention is predominantly focused on the owner's presence and any signs that might indicate an approaching separation. Overall, these behaviors while the owner is at home are early warning signs of the more pronounced separation anxiety that becomes evident when the owner actually leaves.

2.Performance after the Owner Leaves

After the owner leaves, the dog's separation anxiety is more obvious. First of all, the dog may urinate and defecate anywhere. Normally, trained dogs will defecate in specific places, but dogs with separation anxiety will lose control of their defecation after their owners leave and defecate anywhere in inappropriate places due to their inner turmoil and anxiety.

Secondly, destroying furniture is also one of the common manifestations. Dogs will take out their inner anxiety and boredom by chewing and scratching furniture. They may chew on couches, chairs, etc. and make a mess on the floor.

Dogs will also wail and tremble. Wailing is their way of expressing their uneasiness and loneliness, with a voice full of helplessness and fear. Trembling, on the other hand, is caused by inner turmoil that leads to a physical reaction, and breathing may become short. If the uneasiness persists, they may even have diarrhea or vomit.

In addition, some dogs will exhibit barking behavior. They will bark incessantly regardless of external noise or stimulation. This meaningless barking not only affects the surrounding neighbors, but also reflects the dog's inner anxiety.

Other dogs will try to escape. They may break the door away from the home in an attempt to escape into the outside world to find their owner. If they succeed in escaping, the dog will be in danger of being in a car accident, being picked up, and so on.

Finally, some dogs will exhibit self-injurious behaviors. For example, constantly chasing their tails and licking their paws. These behaviors may not be harmful in themselves, but by repeating them over and over again, the dog will injure its own tail and paws.

3.Behavior When the OwnerReturns

Dogs suffering from separation anxiety will act very frantically when their owner returns. They will lick their owner frantically, as if they want to confirm their owner's presence in this way. Then they will pounce on their owner to express their excitement and joy. They will then circle in place and have a hard time calming down for a relatively short period of time. Unlike normal dogs that just happily wag their tails, jump high in place and bark a few times, dogs with separation anxiety problems are unusually excited and have difficulty controlling their emotions.

This extreme reaction upon the owner's return is a direct consequence of the intense anxiety and stress they endured while the owner was away. The dog's world centers around the owner, and during separation, it experiences a great deal of distress. When the owner finally reappears, it is overwhelmed with a mixture of relief and pent-up emotions.

The frantic licking serves as a form of reassurance, a physical way for the dog to reconnect and feel close to the owner again. Pouncing and circling are expressions of uncontainable excitement, a release of the nervous energy that has built up. These behaviors can sometimes be so excessive that they may even cause minor injuries to the owner or knock over objects in the vicinity.

Moreover, it may take a significant amount of time for such dogs to transition from this highly agitated state to a more relaxed one. They might continue to follow the owner closely, constantly seeking attention and physical contact, as if afraid that the owner will disappear again. Owners need to be patient and understanding in such situations, gradually helping the dog to feel more secure and lessening the impact of separation anxiety over time.

The Causes of Separation Anxiety in Dogs

At present, the causes of separation anxiety in dogs have not been clearly determined, but may be related to the following factors.

1.Improper Training at a Young Age

During a dog's formative months, proper socialization and training are of utmost importance. Without it, the dog fails to develop essential skills and emotional resilience. When a puppy is constantly coddled and shielded from any form of alone time, it never learns to self-soothe or entertain itself. It becomes accustomed to having the owner's undivided attention and presence at all times.

As a result, when the inevitable separation occurs, the dog is ill-equipped to handle the situation. It lacks the confidence and internal resources to deal with the absence. The dog may have never experienced being in a separate room or area without the owner nearby, so the sudden disappearance of the familiar figure causes great distress. This can lead to a cascade of negative behaviors and emotional outbursts.

Owners who overindulge their puppies might think they are showing love, but in fact, they are setting the stage for future separation anxiety issues. Instead, a balanced approach that includes gradually introducing short periods of alone time, providing appropriate toys and distractions, and teaching basic commands and self-control is essential. This way, the dog can grow up with a healthy sense of independence and security, better able to tolerate the normal comings and goings of its owner's daily life without succumbing to debilitating anxiety.

2.Irregular Working Hours of the Owner

Irregular working hours of the owner will disrupt the rhythm of the dog's life. When the owner's companion time is not stable, the dog can not establish a predictable life routine, easy to produce uneasiness and anxiety. For example, if the owner spends a long time at home with the dog, and then suddenly goes out to work for a long time, this uncertainty will make the dog feel confused and fearful.

Dogs are creatures of habit and thrive on routine. They rely on a consistent schedule to feel secure and understand what to expect from their day. When the owner's working hours are erratic, it throws off the dog's internal clock and sense of normalcy. The dog may become accustomed to having the owner around for extended periods, engaging in activities like walks, playtime, and mealtimes together. Then, when the owner suddenly disappears for long stretches, the dog is left in a state of bewilderment.

This lack of predictability can lead to a host of problems. The dog may start exhibiting signs of stress, such as pacing, whining, or refusing to eat. It may have difficulty settling down and sleeping, constantly on the lookout for the owner's return. Over time, this chronic state of unease can develop into full-blown separation anxiety. The dog's emotional well-being suffers as it tries to grapple with the inconsistent presence of the person it depends on.

To mitigate these issues, owners with irregular schedules can try to create as much stability as possible within the dog's environment. This might involve setting fixed times for meals and walks, even if they have to be adjusted slightly from day to day. Using puzzle toys or leaving a radio on when away can also provide some comfort and distraction. Additionally, gradually acclimating the dog to short absences and building up its tolerance can help it better cope with the owner's unpredictable comings and goings.

3.Frequent Moving

Frequent moving will make the dog's living environment constantly changing, the dog needs to constantly adapt to the new environment. Each move may cause the dog to lose familiar smells, space and social relationships, which can cause a great deal of stress and in turn trigger separation anxiety.

When a dog relocates, it is suddenly thrust into an unfamiliar setting. The familiar scents that marked its territory and provided a sense of comfort are gone. The cozy corner where it used to nap or the yard it played in are replaced by new and strange surroundings. Additionally, if the dog had formed bonds with neighbors' pets or local animals, those relationships are severed. This abrupt disruption can be highly distressing for the dog.

In the new environment, the dog may feel lost and disoriented. It may exhibit signs of nervousness such as hiding, trembling, or being overly cautious. As a result, its dependence on the owner intensifies. The owner becomes the sole source of security and stability in an otherwise chaotic and unknown world. The dog may follow the owner even more closely, whine when left alone, and be more prone to destructive behaviors if separation occurs.

To help the dog through the moving process, owners can take several steps. They can bring along familiar items like the dog's bed, toys, and blankets to provide a sense of continuity. Upon arrival at the new place, gradually introduce the dog to the new space, starting with a small area and expanding as it becomes more comfortable. Re-establishing a routine as quickly as possible, including regular meal times and walks, can also offer a sense of normalcy. Spending extra time with the dog during the transition period and providing positive reinforcement for calm behavior can go a long way in alleviating the stress and reducing the likelihood of developing severe separation anxiety.

4.Naturally Clingy

Some breeds of dogs are naturally clingy, such as Bichon Frise and Alaskan. These dogs like to stick to their owners 24 hours a day, and once the owner disappears, they are more prone to anxiety. Their nature makes them more sensitive to the owner's departure, and it is difficult for them to adapt to the time alone.

Bichon Frises, with their affectionate and people-oriented personalities, have an inherent need for close human contact. They thrive on being in the presence of their owners and often seek constant attention and affection. This strong attachment means that even a brief separation can cause them significant distress. Their small size and gentle demeanor may contribute to their desire for protection and security from their owners.

Alaskan Malamutes, despite their large and powerful build, also have a surprisingly clingy side. Bred as working dogs that operate in close-knit teams, they have a deep sense of loyalty and connection to their human handlers. They may follow their owners from room to room, always wanting to be part of the action. When left alone, their pack mentality makes them feel isolated and uneasy.

For owners of these clingy breeds, it is essential to be aware of their unique needs and tendencies. Early socialization and training can help teach them some degree of independence, but it must be done with patience and care. Providing them with engaging toys and activities when alone can offer a distraction, although it may not fully replace the owner's presence. Owners should also gradually increase the time of separation to help the dogs build tolerance. Understanding and addressing the specific challenges of these clingy breeds can lead to a more harmonious relationship and reduce the negative impacts of separation anxiety.

5.Overprotection and Lack of Socialization

If a dog has been overprotected since childhood, there is no normal social interaction with other dogs, nothing is important in its world, and it is overly dependent on its owner. Such dogs, when faced with separation from their owners, will feel extremely upset because they lack the ability to cope with the outside world independently.

When a puppy is constantly shielded from the outside world and other dogs, it misses out on crucial learning experiences. It doesn't get the opportunity to develop social skills, understand canine body language, or learn how to handle mild stressors in a social context. As a result, its entire focus and emotional attachment center around the owner. Without the owner's presence, it becomes completely lost and overwhelmed.

These overprotected dogs may cower or become overly reactive in new situations. They have no framework for dealing with the unfamiliar, and the absence of their owner magnifies this vulnerability. For example, when taken to a new park or introduced to a new dog, they may freeze in fear or bark incessantly due to their lack of socialization.

To help such dogs, owners need to gradually introduce them to new experiences and social interactions. Start with short, controlled meetings with friendly, well-behaved dogs and slowly expand their exposure to different environments. Use positive reinforcement, like treats and praise, to build their confidence. Training classes can also be beneficial as they provide structured learning and socialization opportunities. By patiently guiding them to become more independent and socially adept, owners can reduce the severity of separation anxiety and help the dog lead a more balanced and confident life.

6.Insufficient Exercise

Dogs get too little exercise every day and spend most of their time at home. Even if they exercise for 1 hour a day, there are only 7 hours of exercise a week, and the remaining 161 hours are spent bored at home. Boredom can cause dogs to focus all of their attention on their owners, and the only thing they look forward to is the owner coming home. When the owner leaves, this expectation is disappointed, which will easily lead to separation anxiety.

A lack of sufficient physical activity and mental stimulation can have a profound impact on a dog's well-being. Dogs are energetic animals that require regular exercise to burn off excess energy and maintain a healthy state of mind. When they are confined indoors for extended periods with minimal activity, they become restless and bored. This boredom leads them to become overly fixated on their owners as the source of entertainment and comfort.

During the long hours of inactivity, the dog's mind has little else to occupy it. They may pace around the house, chew on objects out of sheer boredom, or simply lie around listlessly. Their world becomes centered around the anticipation of the owner's return, as that is when they expect some form of interaction and stimulation.

However, when the owner leaves, the dog is left in a state of emotional turmoil. The sudden absence shatters their expectation and leaves them feeling lost and anxious. To prevent this, it is crucial for owners to ensure their dogs get adequate exercise. This could involve daily walks, runs, or play sessions in a fenced yard. Additionally, providing interactive toys, such as puzzle feeders or chew toys, can help keep the dog's mind engaged during the hours when the owner is away. Engaging in obedience training or enrolling the dog in agility classes can also offer both physical and mental challenges, reducing the likelihood of boredom and the subsequent development of separation anxiety.

7.Abused or Abandoned

Dogs that have been abused or abandoned are traumatized. These experiences can cause a dog to have a great fear of separation and to be abandoned again. They will fall into extreme anxiety and restlessness when they are separated from their owners because the painful experiences of the past make them uncertain about the future.

A dog that has endured abuse may have suffered physical harm, such as being hit or starved, or emotional trauma from being constantly yelled at or neglected. Abandonment, on the other hand, leaves the dog feeling rejected and alone in a harsh world. These past traumas create deep-seated insecurities.

When such a dog is adopted and forms a bond with a new owner, it becomes extremely attached. The fear of losing that newfound security is overwhelming. Even a short separation, like the owner going to work or running errands, can trigger intense anxiety. The dog may pace frantically, whine inconsolably, or even attempt to escape in search of the owner.

To help these traumatized dogs, a patient and gentle approach is essential. Owners should create a safe and stable environment, providing a comfortable space with familiar items like a cozy bed and favorite toys. Positive reinforcement training using treats and praise can build the dog's confidence. Gradual desensitization to separation is also crucial. Start with very short absences, gradually increasing the time while rewarding the dog for calm behavior. Professional help from a veterinarian or animal behaviorist may be necessary to address the underlying emotional issues and develop a customized plan to help the dog overcome its separation anxiety and learn to trust that it will not be abandoned again.

8.Frequent Change of Environment

Often adopted dogs are more prone to separation anxiety. Frequent changes in environment can make it difficult for dogs to establish a sense of security. They don't know what the next environment will be like, and they don't know if their owner will always be there for them. This uncertainty puts the dog in a constant state of stress, and once separated from its owner, anxiety can erupt quickly.

Adopted dogs have often already endured a tumultuous journey. They may have been passed from one home or shelter to another, each transition bringing new smells, sights, and sounds. This lack of stability makes it challenging for them to feel settled and confident. For example, a dog that has been in multiple foster homes may have had different routines and caregivers, leaving it confused and on edge.

When an adopted dog finally arrives in a new, seemingly permanent home, it may still be haunted by past experiences. The fear of yet another change and potential abandonment lingers. Even the slightest hint of the owner's departure can trigger a panic response. They may start panting, trembling, or exhibiting destructive behaviors as soon as the owner reaches for a coat or keys.

To assist adopted dogs in coping with separation anxiety, owners need to be extra vigilant and understanding. Establishing a consistent daily routine is vital. This includes regular meal times, walks, and play sessions. Creating a safe haven within the home, such as a particular corner with a soft bed and toys, can give the dog a sense of security. Additionally, using positive reinforcement training to teach the dog that alone time can be calm and enjoyable, perhaps with the help of a treat-dispensing toy, can gradually reduce their anxiety levels. Patience and love are key in helping these dogs overcome their past traumas and build a trusting relationship with their new owners.

9.Major Life Changes

Major changes in life, such as the increase or decrease of family members, will also have a psychological and emotional impact on the dog. Dogs have adapted to the original family structure. When new members join or old members leave, their order of life is disrupted and their dependence on their owners may change. Such changes can make dogs feel uneasy and easily trigger separation anxiety.

For instance, when a new baby arrives, the dog may experience a significant shift in its daily routine and the attention it receives from the owners. The hustle and bustle associated with a new addition to the family can be overwhelming and confusing for the dog. It may feel neglected or displaced, leading to increased anxiety. On the other hand, if a family member moves out, the dog may not understand why that person is no longer around and become distressed.

The dog's world revolves around the familiar and predictable. Any alteration in the family dynamics can shatter that sense of security. They might start showing signs like excessive barking, whining, or seeking more attention from the remaining family members. In some cases, they may even become more clingy to their owners, not wanting to be left alone for a moment.

To help the dog adjust, it's essential to involve them in the process as much as possible. For example, when a new baby is coming, gradually introduce the dog to baby-related items and smells in advance. Provide extra love and attention, and maintain their regular exercise and feeding schedule. If a family member is leaving, give the dog some time to get used to the change and reinforce positive behavior. By being sensitive to these life changes and taking proactive steps, owners can minimize the impact on the dog's emotional well-being and reduce the likelihood of separation anxiety taking hold.

The Method of Preventing Dog Separation Anxiety

1. Set Up An Exclusive Independent Space for the Dog

If you have a small dog at home, you can consider setting up an exclusive independent space for it, such as placing it in an enclosure. In this space to place a variety of enrichment items, such as educational toys, you can also do some simple brain games, exercise the dog's brain power. When the owner is at home, he or she can observe the dog's behavior from time to time, and if the dog behaves quietly, he or she can be rewarded with snacks at the right time. For example, if you want to enhance the effect, the owner can dry a clothes or go downstairs to buy something, and then give the dog snacks when you come back.You can also refer to the way other users use the fence to create an independent space for the dog, placing the dog's toys, snacks, clothes and other items, so that the dog feels comfortable and safe in this space.

2. Randomize Out-of-home Actions

Record the actions that are often done before going out such as putting on socks, dressing, getting door keys, putting on makeup, turning off lights, etc., and then randomly assign them to times of the week. After completing a particular action, do what you need to do and don't leave the house. This will help the dog understand that these actions do not necessarily mean that the owner is leaving the house. Over time, the dog will not see the owner to do these actions on the nervousness and anxiety, that even if the owner left home is only temporary.

3. Increase the Amount of Dog Exercise

For the family has a border herdsman, husky and other sports varieties of dogs, the owner can develop the habit of going to work before and pet sports, find ways to exhaust their physical energy. For example, before going out for a period of time, and the dog to play throw the ball or tug of war game. So that when the owner goes to work, the dog alone at home is already very tired, there is no energy because the owner is not in the anxiety.

4. Find a Playmate for Your Dog

If you have a neighbor who is compatible and has a dog, consider boarding your dog at the neighbor's house for a day while you are away, and the neighbor can board their dog at their house when they are busy, for mutual benefit. You can also consider dog daycare centers, somewhat similar to the concept of sending children to preschool kindergarten, where you put your baby in the daycare in the morning, with a dedicated space for activities and a teacher, and then pick up your child in the afternoon at the end of the day. However, when choosing a boarding place or day care center, be sure to survey beforehand to ensure that the place is safe, professional staff, while observing the activities of the area there is no some of the dog's food is harmful to the dog, and so on. Just because your neighbor's dog doesn't touch it doesn't mean that your own dog won't come into contact with dangerous items.

5. Detailed Considerations

In the process of dealing with dog separation anxiety, there are some details that need special attention. First, avoid giving rewards when your dog is excited. When the dog is in an excited state, such as when the owner comes home from work, the dog licks and pounces on the owner frantically, and if you give a reward at this time, it will make the dog think that this kind of excited behavior is correct, and it may aggravate the symptoms of separation anxiety. When the dog is excited, there will be very obvious performance, such as wagging the tail, licking the shoveler, clear and bright eyes, and even some dogs will twist around all over the body, jumping around and other performance behaviors. Therefore, we should give rewards when the dog is calm, such as when we go home and wait until the dog is calm. This will help the dog understand that staying calm is a good behavior and will help relieve separation anxiety.

If your dog's separation anxiety symptoms are very severe, daily training and methods alone may not be effective in relieving them. At this point, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian or dog trainer. The veterinarian can check the dog's physical condition to rule out whether there is any physical disease causing the anxiety symptoms. Meanwhile, a professional dog trainer can develop a personalized training plan based on the dog's specific situation to help the dog overcome separation anxiety. Some dogs with very severe separation anxiety may require both anti-anxiety medication and training to achieve the best results.

However, common triggering factors include incorrect training methods during the dog's early years, such as over-pampering or neglect; irregular working hours of the owner, which makes it difficult for the dog to adapt to the rhythm of the owner's time of departure and return; frequent moving, which leads to a lack of a sense of security and familiarity with the environment in which the dog lives, etc. These factors may cause the dog to suffer from separation anxiety when it is separated from its owner. All these factors may cause the dog to have strong anxiety when separated from its owner, which in turn may lead to a series of behavioral problems.
