Separation Anxiety Programs

Specialist Programs with Summit Dog Training

If you come home to destructive chewing, constant barking, or signs of distress, your dog may be suffering from separation anxiety. This is one of the most challenging behavioural issues, but with the right approach, your dog can learn to feel calm and relaxed when left alone.

Signs of Separation Anxiety

🐾 Excessive barking, whining, or howling when alone
🐾 Destructive chewing or scratching at doors/windows
🐾 Pacing, panting, or drooling before you leave
🐾 Attempts to escape when left alone
🐾 Toilet accidents despite being house-trained

If your dog experiences any of these, they may be feeling genuine panic when left alone. This isn’t a behaviour problem - it’s an emotional response that needs careful, structured training.
