Dog Star Park

You come home and find the door frame chewed, a shredded cushion and your neighbour complaining about the barking. No, your dog isn't holding a grudge against you or has suddenly turned “bad”. It could be suffering from separation anxiety, one of the most common —and most misunderstood— behavioural disorders in urban dogs. In this guide we explain what it really is, how to tell it apart from simple boredom and, most importantly, how to help your dog feel safe even when you're not at home.

Complete guide on separation anxiety in dogs: how to identify it, understand it and treat it with a step-by-step desensitisation protocol, strategies to break departure cues, and when to seek professional help.
