• If your dog has separation anxiety, this is a good time to work on it. Separation anxiety, which is similar to a human panic attack, physically affects many dogs. While work is ongoing, to date, there is no conclusive evidence on the best treatment. However, scientists and veterinary behaviorists—including Dr. Nicholas Dodman, professor emeritus, Tufts University and co-founder of the Center for Canine Behavior Studies, Inc. 501(c)(3)—suggest that for more severe cases, medicine combined with behavior modification training helps support changes in behaviors.
