How to Stop Bulldog Separation Anxiety Fast

Signs of Bulldog Separation Anxiety

  • Barking/crying when left alone

  • Destroying toys or blankets

  • Scratching doors

  • Excessive drooling

1. Practice Short “Fake Departures”

Put on your shoes.
Grab your keys.
Walk to the door…
And sit back down.

Repeat until your bulldog stops reacting.

2. Use a Comfort Item

Your scent calms them.
Examples:

  • T-shirt you slept in

  • Blanket from your bed

3. Give a “Calming Snack” Before You Leave

Try:

  • Frozen peanut butter Kong

  • Pumpkin + kibble treat

  • Dental stick

They get busy → anxiety drops.

4. Use White Noise

Bulldogs relax when background noise hides outside sounds.

5. Hire a Dog Walker for Long Days

Bulldogs are emotional little potatoes.
They don’t like being alone too long.
