Separation anxiety: Is your dog happy when you're not home? | Adem Fehmi

About this episode

The episode discusses separation anxiety in dogs and how to help them feel secure when their owners are away.

The moment many owners leave the house, their dog starts barking, whining, pacing or scratching at the door. This continues for as long as the owner is away. The dog is overjoyed to see their owner return and your neighbour has no idea about the stress their pet was experiencing only moments before. Today, I’m joined by Adem Fehmi, a dog behaviourist and trainer with over 26 years of experience helping owners understand and resolve behavioural challenges in dogs. Together, we’ll explore the often hidden condition of separation anxiety, learn how to recognise the signs, and discover simple, effective ways to help your dog feel safe, calm, and secure when you're not there.
