Five Common Dog Anxiety Problems
Your dog could be anxious. What exactly is anxiety in dogs? Are you experiencing separation anxiety or is it something different? There are many different reasons for anxiety in dogs. this blog post can help you get more understanding of the anxiety that your pup may be experiencing. This blog article will give you great advice regarding how to handle anxiety in dogs. Here is some more separation anxiety in dogs info.

Dogs are anxious because of these reasons
There are a variety of causes for dog anxiety, but here's 5 of the most common:
Being Left Alone
The dogs are pack animals. Dogs are pack animals . They want to feel part of the pack. They are anxious if separated from their owners or the members of their pack. Dogs can develop destructive behavior as a result of separation anxiety.
Signs of separation anxiety may include:
Peeing in the home in the event of separation anxiety
Barking or howling constantly and at times at night when left alone
It is possible to escape home by digging under fences or jumping over gates, chewing through doors and walls and more...
Chewing on furniture, clothes and shoes. This is a way for dogs to ease anxiety.

Tip:
It is possible to help your dog who is anxious about separation by providing an environment that is safe for them to go when you're not in the house. A cozy area that is reminiscent of a den with comfy bedding can help your dog feel safer even when they're alone.
A chew toy that is stuffed with food is another possibility. However, it must not contain any ingredients that could cause your pet to choke or harm the throat of your pet.

Loud Noise
Dogs can be extremely sensitive to loud noises and are especially sensitive to those they've never experienced before.
Dogs can be anxious by the sound of a loud horn, for example:
- Fireworks
- Thunderstorms
- Sirens
Construction
A side note: anxiety in dogs can be caused by other loud sounds too, such as the sounds of squeaky toys or even certain collars for dogs.
Dogs that are scared of loud sounds can be trained so that they decrease or stop their anxiety.

Tip:
An effective way to help your dog overcome noise anxiety is to expose them to loud noises in a positive manner. You can, for example, record fireworks or storms and combine these sounds along with treats (or their preferred toy).
Another option is anxiety wraps for dogs which work much like swaddling an infant does when they're upset. it gives gentle pressure that may aid in calming your dog's anxiety.

Home Environment Changes
Dogs thrive on routine and consistency. Dogs enjoy routines and know what to expect. They also like to please their owners/pack members.
There are a variety of things that can cause anxiety in dogs:
- Moving into a New Home or traveling with You when you move to the New Home of your dreams
The family member is allowed to leave the home (e.g. death, divorce)
Baby, pet, or another new addition to the family.
Changes made to your schedule (e.g. you work at home instead of working at home prior to this)
Changes in routines can be stressful for dogs. Therefore, if your dog's anxiety is brought on because of a change in environment, working with your dog to ease anxiety will involve both training and creating new routines at home.

Tip:
Anxiety wraps are an excellent option for dogs who suffer from anxiety as a result of the loss of a dear one or mate.
Introduce new family members into training sessions so that your dog is taught to behave around them, even when you're away. It is important to ensure that every new member to your family is positive by using positive reinforcements like reward and treats.

Strangers
Dogs are naturally fearful of strangers. A stranger's presence could cause fear in dogs.
In this situation, signs of anxiety may include:
- Doing a bark or growl at strangers who walk by your, your home or your family members when outside on walks
- When guests come over to eat or visit, make sure you hide behind furniture and under beds.
In order to avoid strangers and to escape, they'll scratch windows and doors.
Begin to teach your dog how you want to behave around strangers, if your dog is anxious when exposed to new people.
With practice and time, your dog will feel more at home with strangers and even at home. This can help reduce anxiety.

Tip:
Introducing your pet to new people slowly can also help them become more comfortable around strangers. For instance, you could request that the person lay on the floor and eat treats, and then give your dog plenty of space to eat them. As time passes, you can request the person to sit close to your dog until finally allowing them to come closer to one another.

Cars
Dogs may experience anxiety when riding in cars in particular if they've not had the opportunity to experience car rides before or have been through a difficult experience before.
These symptoms could mean that dogs are worried about car rides:
Whining and barking inside the car
- Shaking or trembling while in the car
- trying to escape the car by hiding behind or under the seat

Tip:
Slow exposure to cars when your dog isn't riding on it could help you start to de-sensitize your dog.
Do not give your dog a reward for fear or anxiety and calmness whenever you see your dog in cars.
It will help them feel more comfortable in the car and allow them to drive with less anxiety.

Conclusion
The conclusion is that anxiety in dogs may be triggered by many different ways, but through training and consistency your dog will become more comfortable around the factors.
Start by reducing their exposure to the trigger gradually (i.e. automobile trips) before introducing new environments or people into their lives if anxiety is present.
Your dog will become less stressed and at ease when you work with them on anxiety.
