Types of Dog Anxiety
Separation Anxiety | Leash Anxiety | Noise Anxiety |
| Separation anxiety is when a dog becomes anxious when their owner leaves, making it difficult to leave them at home and unsupervised during the workday. | Leash anxiety is when a dog becomes nervous around their leash, making it difficult to take them for walks and get them their important daily exercise. | Noise anxiety is when a dog is sensitive to noise. This varies in intensity—some dogs may be anxious toward a specific noise while others may be nervous at any sound.` |
