<\/span><\/h2>\nIt should be noted that symptoms can vary from dog to dog, depending on the type and severity of their anxiety, but it is said that the easiest way to identify if a dog is suffering from anxiety is to pay attention to their behavior and body language.<\/p>\n
The condition can manifest itself through unusual or exaggerated reactions to certain people, changes, and situations.<\/p>\n
The 11 most frequent signs of anxiety in dogs are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Excessive barking<\/li>\n
- Howls and whimpers<\/li>\n
- General nervousness or restlessness<\/li>\n
- Aggressiveness<\/li>\n
- Destructive behavior<\/li>\n
- Repetitive or compulsive behaviors<\/li>\n
- Urine and feces in inappropriate places<\/li>\n
- Tremors<\/li>\n
- Position of the ears backward and\/or folded tail<\/li>\n
- Lack of appetite or changes in eating pattern<\/li>\n
- A constant search for a hiding place<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
As an owner, it is important to watch closely for any of these symptoms. A dog may behave anxiously from time to time because he is bored or hasn’t had enough exercise, which is considered normal. But if any of those signs recur, it could be due to an anxiety disorder.<\/p>\n
