Understanding separation problems in dogs: Getting the diagnosis right

19 Nov 2026
Exhibitor Showcase 2

The session will explore the theories behind the development of separation-related problems in dogs, reviewing previous theories before focusing on current scientific evidence and conclusions that help us better understand these behaviours. Understanding how behavioural problems start is beneficial to support differential diagnosis, and to reach the final diagnosis, which is key for guiding appropriate treatment.

  • Understand why some past theories cannot be applied when addressing separation-related problems
  • Understand the current scientific data that supports the rise of separation-related problems
  • Distinguish between different separation-related problems
  • How to perform an accurate diagnosis of this problem
