Does anyone's dog get angry/sad when you leave for work?

That's how it really has to be, being man's best friend, with their instinct plus intelligence, they can sense any simple thing to come next specially when it's some sort of a routine...

I know how pets can be when you leave the house. When I was younger my family had a dog that would tear apart the couch cushions and dumpt the kitchen trash all over the floor whenever we left the house. I think it was the dogs way of saying they were angry at being left alone.

Yeah, my dog will cry as if he is talking to me when i go to school. And if i try to copy my dogs cry or bark, it will answer back to me as if we are talking. This happen every time i go to school, my dog does that. I just hold him for a while and pat him as well, so that he would stop it. And when i return from school, my dog is so cheerful again. it is really so hard to leave your dog, especially when its so adorable, and sweet.

R u Kdding. we had a Bouvier named Bree. He was so mad at my wife that he couldn't go with her he tore up the phone book. That was the last thing that she was looking at before she left the house

Ohhh,,how sweet. That's really hard to leave when sad cute eyes were looking at you as if saying "don't leave me" :( Our dogs also run at the gate when they know we are about to leave. Then,we we came home,here they are jumping and wagging tails and embracing us as if we're gone for a week

Hello myempress, You don't have the right attitude toward your cousin's Pug. You only worsen her situation. She knows you are going to leave to work but when you feel sory for her she will be more and more upset and she can develop separation anxiety. The best thing to do is to ignore her from the moment you start preparing yourself to leave to work. Whenever she tries to get your attention, ignore her. In a few days she will get it and she will go to her place and look sadly after you when you leave. You should also ignore her for a few minutes when you return home. She should be more than happy that you are back home, but you should let her calm down before giving her any sign of affection. Binne knows that every morning I have to leave to work and after we return from our morning walk we have breakfast and then she goes to her place and watch me preparing for work. She never comes after me when I leave to work because she knows I won't give her any attention.

Our dog gets upset when he knows we leave him for a while. When I went to the hospital to give birth, I didn't go home for 3 or 4 days and went to the hospital again with our son because he had to receive some treatment so we staryed another 2 days, our dog was so upset, he wouldn't come doenstairs but just lie down upstairs alone even when my husband came home to feed him on time. When he knows my husband is leaving for business trips, he gets upset as well, just this morning, my husband left with the suitcase, he knows then he got upset.

I have to say my dog is the same way. He get so sad and i swear has seperation anxiety when me or my boyfriend leaves the house. In the morning when im getting ready for work he usually stays in the bed till its about 15 minutes till i have to leave and i usually put my keys on the counter around that time so he jumps out of bed finally and comes running to find me and is now stretching and we will talk for a few and then of course he starts following me around the house and is now grauling at me because of course he doesnt want me to leave for the day and is now in the room with a baby gate up and no one gets home for 7 hours and he just hates it so much and i feel really bad, but it is life and we all dont like it and sometimes i wish i could bring my dog with me to work but i dont think it would work out since i work at a construction office with two big rottweillers here and he is only a 14 pound little cockapoo that is my best friend LOL. I think we spoil my dog alot so therefore i think this is why he has seperation anxiety and we treat him really good and just do alot with him.

My diggie had horrible separation anxiety so whenever I left the house she would get really sad. Pretty much the only thing we could do to make her feel safe and prevent her from trashing the house while we were gone was to create a small space for her where she could feel safe (we tried to crate her, but she destroyed the crate), she once was able to move our dryer by jumping on it (she only weighed 25 pounds!) we emptied out a small room just for her, and did our best to leave her alone as little as possible

I have had dogs that acted that way when I left for work. That is just their nature and part of what makes them so lovable. It's hard because that are like children and you don't want to hurt their feelings. But it can't be helped.

We have a dog too, her name is pichay. I think its true, they have feelings too. Because every time we would leave her, she's uneasy. But whenever we came back, we can see that she's so happy, wiggling her tail and growl like saying something like "hey, welcome back!, I missed you!". Some of our neighbor thought that our dog is howling and they don't like it but for us, its not howling. Howling and growling for me is different because when she growl, it seems like she wants to say something to us....

Hello.. yes..my dog used to be really sad or upset I dont know exactly. Well now he has a friend so he doesn't stay alone anymore. I think the feel alone and dogs need somebody around them most of the time or they are gonna think that no body loves them...it can sound stupid or silly but it is true. Having somebody to play along the day is good for them! dont worry to much tho! just give some more love when you get home in the end of the day.

Yes Dogs do have Emotions and Miss us when we Leave the House. They can get Sad and Bark with some Cry's Mixed in. They even can get Depressed as I saw One Dog I had go Through. He would Eat Less and just Lay around the House. But never Angry when Alone.
