A Canine Natural Remedy for Anxiety
Sometimes dogs have difficulty when left alone in your home. It is called separation anxiety and it plagues thousands of dogs. It can lead to destructive behaviors such as chewing, howling, scratching and accidents in your home.
In dealing with separation anxiety it is best to work with a qualified professional trainer experienced in separation anxiety.
We adopted our dog from our local animal shelter a couple of years ago. Soon after we took her home, we realized that she was dealing with many issues. Anxiety was one of them. When we left her at home alone, she would eat shoes and scratch the floor. Often, we would find that she had accidents while we were gone.
A friend who had gone through a similar experience with her dog recommended we elicit the assistance of a dog trainer. She had wonderful experience with her dog so we decided to give it a try. It would have broken our hearts to have to give up our dog because of the trauma she was dealing with.
To aid in our training efforts, our trainer recommended a natural remedy for anxiety that he thought might help our dog to relax while we worked with her through the training process.
The remedy he suggested was the essence of Bach Flower. It comes in cream or oral supplement form. The essence is extracted from the flower and is known to bring on calm. Since it is difficult for us to administer anything to our dog orally, we opted for the cream form. It works wonders on helping our dog to relax.
When dealing with separation anxiety in your dog, an experienced trainer is the way to go. Working through your dog’s issues is a commitment and takes patience and understanding. To aid in your training efforts, the essence of Bach Flower, which is a safe natural remedy for anxiety, is a safe and effective aid to help you and your dog as you work through the process together.
