The “BIG” Signs
of Separation Anxiety
  1. Excessive barking, whining, crying, and howling.

  2. Chewing or destroying floors, walls, and doors, particularly around entrances.

  3. Frantic attempts to escape, sometimes to the point of self-harm.

  4. Soiling (especially when the dog is otherwise house-trained)

  5. Getting anxious well before owner leaves.

Note: It’s not uncommon for owners to think their dog needs to display all of these.
