Dogs by nature do not want to be left behind. They like their owners to be around whether or not they are interacting with them. So when they are left behind to be all by themselves, they get stressed out and have anxiety symptoms. You can identify this if they show symptoms like excessive barking when alone, chewing up things or scratching doors and windows, salivating more than usual, refusing to eat in your absence or pacing in an obsessive pattern. Since he is super attached to you, it might take a while for them to adjust to your absence. However, you can make things easy for them by following a few tips that we at Waggfluence have rounded up for you.

Being dog parents, you must have realised that there are many ways in which humans are similar to them. One similarity that we are going to talk about today is the behavioural aspect of feeling jealous if your loved one is paying attention to someone else and seem to enjoy their company. Haven’t we all had times when our dog jumps in between as you pet another dog or tries to seek attention when he feels neglected around you? In most cases, this is better described as a competitive situation where the dog is competing with another individual; human, dog, cat or anything else. It might be amusing to you for a while but jealous behaviour in pets can be an issue that should not be ignored, lest it takes an aggressive turn.
