While it is pretty obvious when a dog is being protective, it is not always apparent why. It is often an inherited trait that needs to be toned down or recessed, although many dogs appear to be protective due to anxiety. This anxious behavior can result from the simple fear of being left alone. You love your dog very much, so help them to learn that a little bit of separation is a good and natural thing. Simple actions can be taken that will help your dog to appreciate downtime on their own and relax in the fact that you will always be there for them when they really need it.
