Helping Your Dog Deal with Separation

By nature, dogs are social animals and they don’t like being alone. Separation anxiety manifests itself as visible stress within a short time from the departure of the dog’s person. This anxiety can vary from mild to severe. However, separation anxiety is preventable and responds well when treated.
