For this is but common suffering.  &#8220;These could be symptoms of separation anxiety, a common behavior in dogs that suffer a lot when the owner leaves the house&#8221;, warns veterinarian Mauro Lantzman, an expert in animal behavior.  Scolding the dog or increasing the treats only makes the problem worse. <\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<strong>How to deal with anxious dogs <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7  It is necessary to teach the dog to tolerate your absence little by little, starting with a few minutes a day.  First, leave the house and come back soon, without paying too much attention to her.  Take care to return before he shows anxiety symptoms and not to spoil him on your return.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7  Severe cases are treated with medication under the guidance of a veterinarian.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7  The sooner you start treatment, the better your chances of healing.  Spreading toys and clothes with your scent around the house can help, but it doesn&#8217;t solve it.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<strong>To not have this problem<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ads post-ads\"><span class=\"title\" style=\"display:block\">Continues after advertising<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7  Start care when the dog is still a puppy.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7  Be affectionate, but don&#8217;t encourage excessive attachment between you, no matter how cute and needy your pet is.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7  Avoid spending hours with the dog on your lap or pampering him whenever he whimpers with a begging face.  Resist this blackmail \u2013 for the good of the animal.  And yours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"texto\">\n<h3>\n<p>\t\tseparation anxiety<\/h3>\n<p class=\"texto\">\n\t\t<br \/><strong>Which is<\/strong><br \/>Extreme suffering caused by the absence of the owner.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<strong>Causes<\/strong><br \/>Puppies that are spoiled or separated from the family before 3 months are more likely to develop the problem in adulthood.  Anxiety arises when the owner changes jobs or habits and spends more time away from home.  Traumatic events, such as thunder or fireworks, make the picture worse.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<strong>Symptoms<\/strong><br \/>The dog cries, shakes, asks for attention or is sad when he realizes that the owner is going to leave.  In his absence, it barks, licks itself, destroys furniture and loses hunger.  As soon as the owner returns, he is euphoric.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spreading toys and clothes with your scent around the house can help the dog to be calmerPhoto: Getty Images Non-stop barking, gnawing on furniture, scratching the door until you make a hole&#8230; Does it sound like a mischievous dog wanting to get attention?
