Canine mental disorder AKA Seperation Anxiety.

There are many supplements and medications on the market to support and treat canine mental disorder AKA severe separation anxiety. Our lessstress and malticalm, depending on the specific conditions is an assistant to treating separation anxiety. In addition to proper medication and or supplements there is some behavioral training that can assist with this condition.

Just like humans who suffer from anxiety and or depression, physical and mental training to assist us living normal lives is very important. Also just like us humans, the majority of separation anxiety is chemical imbalance and less to do with the owners treatment or lack of.

I live in a strata complex in which at 7:00 am each morning, we hear a dog whining and crying, often as soon as the owner leaves for work. This continued for more than a week. I finally investigated and spoke to the owner whom discovered that through vet testing he did in fact have a possible chemical imbalance in regards to separation anxiety.

One way, in addition to using medication, to help is that when he came home, before, going grocery shopping and or out to the bar with friends, he walked his dog and then left for the evening. This way the dog didn't associate the owner leaving as a negative thing and knew that he was always coming back.

There are other training books and manuals dealing with separation anxiety that are available in most libraries. I encourage anyone reading this article, whether your pet suffers or not to still practice some of the habits to foster a stronger bond between the pet and owner.
