Separation Anxiety: You Did This

Now, let’s wade into deeper waters and tackle the thorny topic of separation anxiety in dogs. This isn’t some mysterious ailment that dogs catch like a cold. It’s a direct result of how you’ve raised them. Right from the beginning, when you showered your adorable pup with non-stop attention, you were unwittingly paving the way for their eventual struggle with solitude.

Dogs need to learn self-assuredness, but we’ve unintentionally become their emotional crutches. So, when you head out for the day and they’re engulfed in panic, it’s because they’ve never been taught how to navigate independence. It’s on you to guide them and help them build resilience rather than smothering them with your ever-present shadow.
