Is your dog being destructive when you are away from home? If the answer is “Yes” then your dog might suffer from separation anxiety. Some dogs are so emotionally attached to their owners that if left alone they get so stressed that they may try to escape confinement, bark/cry for a long time, destructively chew things in the house or relieve themselves.

It is important to realize that the destructive behavior is due to the stress of being alone. Don’t try to fix the symptoms, instead address the underlying stress.

Please note that not all destructive behaviors are due to separation anxiety, for example, your dog might become destructive if he/she is not getting enough physical exercise.
