How to tell if your dog may experience anxiety

- Panting
- Excessive barking

Dogs that experience anxiety may also show aggressive, or reactive dog behavior in certain situaions that make them feel uncomfortable. Anxiety-inducing aggression is VERY common, but can be manged and corrected with the right training strategies.

Aggressive behavior is more common in anxiety relating to changes in the environment. For example, if you’ve adopted an older dog or brought someone new to the home, your dog is uncomfortable and may show warning signs of aggression.
Dog separation anxiety is more likely to result in destruction, whining, barking, and scratching at doors. Often times dog’s can’t manage their anxiety and need us to come up with a treatment plan to resolve it.
