A bored dog can wreak havoc in your home when left alone and, worse still, could be a sign that your pooch isn’t coping by himself and could be experiencing separation anxiety. Animal shelters take in more than 5.5 million dogs each year, according to a study from the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Adopting a dog from a rescue shelter is a generous and caring thing to do and, understandably, many dogs have been through some difficult times, so when home alone, boredom and stress can set in. Therefore, it’s essential to stimulate your dog to prevent full blown separation anxiety kicking in.
