6 Symptoms of Separation Anxiety in Dogs
4. Continuous barking and howling
If you find your dog “crying” for you as you leave the house, it is a sign of separation anxiety. Some dogs may howl or bark persistently when left alone with no possible reason for such a behavior except for the absence of the guardian.
5. Pacing
When left alone or away from their guardian, a dog may start walking or pacing along a path in a fixed pattern; it could be in circles or back and forth in a straight line. You may not find your dog displaying this behavior when you are at home.
6. Excessive greetings
When you return home, if you find your dog greeting you excessively, then this could be a sign of separation anxiety. He might also follow you constantly as you prepare to leave. You will get the feeling that your dog wants to be with you all the time.
