Staying Home

Don’t worry. I have heard it all. Nothing that an untrained dog does surprises me. Owners are fearful of leaving their dogs home alone. Some close the doors and hide items. This is your house, and the dog needs to know that. I will help you on that path. Give Vincent DeMaio a call to fix those issues for you.

Staying Home Alone, also known as Separation Anxiety in dogs, is a devastating condition. Dogs suffering from separation anxiety experience chronic stress when left alone. This takes a toll on their emotional and physical health. Owners can’t leave their homes because they are afraid their dog will tear down the window blinds, chew the doorway, or bark or howl until the neighbors complain. Separation anxiety is the most heart-wrenching of canine disorders, and it won’t go away on its own.

Dogs who have home-alone issues aren’t angry with you. They are truly terrified about being alone. It’s not a choice for them. They cannot control their emotional response. Their anxiety, when left alone, can show up as pacing, barking for hours, house-soiling, destroying the house, and even injuring themselves trying to escape. That alone is overwhelming to live with, but far worse is knowing that your beloved dog is in an uncontrollable panic state whenever you leave. It’s genuinely heartbreaking.
