Separation anxiety .
Reasons that can provoke separation anxiety: changes of family structure , change of routine days , change of residence,lost of other pets or member the family, dogs from shelters that were adopted few times…
Here we have the small 7 years old Kay that arrives in Israel from Chili to join one of the member of its family . He changed country , family structure, routine day, and separated from the other dogs that he lived with . Kay exhibits anxiety signs when her owner is leaving the house ( scratching yelling and barking hours).
How we treat?
Physical and mental exercises ( a must)
Leaving and arrival ceremony without high attention to the dogs
Reward dogs with high levels treats before leaving ( puzzle kings…)
Desensitization and counterconditioning training process to teach him slowly and gradually to be alone and be calm .
Patience and work!
