About the show

Welcome to Separation Anxiety In Dogs Decoded, where we delve into the world of dogs who struggle with home alone time. Imagine coming home to a scene of destruction – chewed up furniture, scratched doors, and 'accidents' all over the house. Or maybe your neighbors have complained about incessant barking and howling while you're away. Separation anxiety is a behavioral problem that can manifest in various ways, from destructive behavior to excessive vocalization, and even self-injury in severe cases. Ness explores this stressful behavior and how to resolve it. Visit: nessjones.com
