How to help a dog with separation anxiety?Updated a month ago

Help your dog by consulting your veterinarian first to rule out any medical issues such as infections, hormone disorders, and other health issues that might lead dogs to have accidents in the house. If his health is in order, then follow a routine, so he knows what’s happening, such as a special stuffed animal when you leave and put it away when you come home.

You can also get a pet camera with two-way audio and treats, as this will allow the dog to see and hear you when you are not there. The treats are an added bonus. Do whatever your dog needs to get past anxiety by relying on you less and relaxing when you are away. This may be behavior modification, extra exercise, CBD treats, medication, or interactive toys. Also, consider leaving the radio on for a little white noise.
