Give the dog a clear demarcation of its own territory, such as a kennel or kennel. Let him understand that the dog crate is his territory, where he is comfortable and safe. This will make it clear that the owner will visit it on its territory, not get tired of being together all day.

Symptoms of separation anxiety disorder include:

1. Defecation anywhere;

2. Destruction of furniture or toys : Dogs wreak havoc, scratch wallpaper, bite things. This behavior is more common in untrained, dishonest dogs, especially dogs that are highly dependent on their owners.

3. Constant barking: The puppy howls to attract the mother's attention. Likewise, a dog that is irritable and lonely, howls to attract the attention of its owner.

4. Plowing: Some dogs dig the ground to bury bones, while some dogs dig holes to lie in. Most dogs do this when they breed.

5. Anorexia or decreased appetite:

6. Severe drooling when the owner is about to leave home;

7. Excessive licking or biting of limbs

Methods to relieve separation anxiety:

1. Reduce dependence. Force yourself to pay more than half of your attention to the dog, and ignore it no matter how it tries to get your attention. The actions of the owner and the family must be consistent. Let your dog learn to be independent. Only dogs who have learned to be independent can get out of the shadow of separation anxiety.

2. Pretend to go out and leave it alone for a few minutes. If the dog barks, don't go in. Go back after you stop barking, and give a reward. From a very short time away, if you know that the owner will go out for ten seconds, the dog will start to become anxious, then start from 6 seconds after leaving. If the dog is calm when he comes back, he will be rewarded, and this will gradually increase the time.

3. Dharma dogs that consume energy are the same as people. As long as they are tired, they will obediently calm down. So, as long as the amount of exercise is moderately increased, it will just want to get a good night's sleep. Increased physical activity can reduce anxiety in dogs, and experts recommend two 45-60-minute walks a day.

4. Find a playmate: It is much better to have another dog to accompany; dogs are pack animals, so when the owner leaves him and he is left alone, it is inevitable that he will be in a bad mood. The easiest way to do this is to find a companion for your dog—another dog. Especially when the dog is young.

5. Let the dog have something to do. Once something catches the dog's attention, the dog will naturally have less time, energy and mood to destroy it.

6. Dogs have biological clocks and know when they will be left alone again, they will start to get anxious and occasionally change your routine so that it is unclear when it will be left.

7. Some dogs are originally working dogs, so they can be trained to do some simple tasks, and when they are working, they will be very attentive.

In severe cases, consult a doctor for medication.
