“Hyper Attachment” in dogs with Separation Anxiety

A “hyper-attached” dog, often associated with separation anxiety, is excessively reliant on its primary caregiver. These dogs can’t bear being alone and may panic when left. They prefer the company of their special person and exhibit distress if left with another human. Building a support network to ease their discomfort involves helping them form bonds with other humans through enjoyable activities, gradually reducing their dependency on you. This approach helps alleviate separation anxiety and fosters healthier independence in your dog.
