After a summer without textbooks and homework, children often find it difficult to return to the classroom.  They’ve spent their summer break relaxing with friends and family.  Many children spend time romping and playing with their family dog, making the transition back to school hard for the furry members of the family too.

When kids go back to class, the family dog is suddenly left alone trying to figure out what to do with all his or her new found time.  An abrupt change in anyone’s schedule is bound to lead to big problems, and for animals it often manifests itself in the form of separation anxiety.  Symptoms of separation anxiety include digging and scratching at doors and windows, destructive chewing and howling, barking or whining.
