Signs Your Beagle Might Have Separation Anxiety
Or Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO)
Recognising these signs early can
prevent situations from escalating
If you notice any of the below behaviours,
it’s time to take steps toward managing their anxiety
-
Pacing or Restlessness
Some beagles may start to pace around the house or seem unsettled before you even leave, sensing that you're about to go.
-
Excessive Clinginess
Your beagle may follow you from room to room, refusing to settle unless they're right by your side. While it’s easy to brush this off as normal behaviour, it can be a sign of anxiety.
-
Vocalising (Whining, Barking, or Howling)
Even a normally quiet beagle may start to whine or bark excessively as you’re preparing to leave or shortly after you’ve gone. It might not be loud enough for you to notice initially, but neighbours often will!
-
Increased Licking or Chewing
Repetitive behaviours like licking their paws or chewing objects (or even themselves) more than usual could signal stress from being alone.
-
Destructive Behaviour
Chewing on furniture, door frames, or shoes—especially near exits—can be a sign of your beagle’s rising anxiety, as they attempt to escape or cope with your absence.
-
Eliminating Indoors
Even house-trained beagles may start having accidents indoors, particularly near doors, when left alone.
-
Refusing Food or Treats
If your beagle suddenly shows no interest in food or treats when you’re about to leave, this can be a sign that their anxiety is growing. Many dogs refuse to eat when they’re stressed.
-
Panting and Drooling
Excessive panting or drooling in an otherwise relaxed dog can be a physical manifestation of anxiety.
-
Trying to Escape
This is one of the most dangerous signs of separation anxiety. Some beagles will attempt to dig through doors or windows, scratch their way out of crates, or even jump through windows in a frantic attempt to reach their owners.
In one extreme case, a beagle jumped from a first-floor window, breaking a leg, all because they couldn’t bear to be left behind.

Beagles can be a challenge, but Kellie’s positive reinforcement techniques that utilize the beagle motivation and psyche really work.
I have been an experienced beagle mom for over 25 years and yet I still learn valuable training tricks from Kellie.
Definitely the best trainer for beagles that I have experienced.

Kellie Wynn
Kellie, is based in Guernsey, The Channel Islands, and is a dedicated Online Beagle Behaviour Trainer offering global online programs. (www.thebeaglelady.com )
She also works in her local community as The Neuro Dog Trainer (www.theneurodogtrainer.com), where she specialises in complex anxiety and aggression with all breeds.
She's committed to guiding Beaglers and all dog owners worldwide to understand and train their dogs successfully with science-backed and breed-specific therapy and training.
-
Kellie served as a Detective Sergeant for 12 years (with an 18-year police career overall) and was the "Single Point of Contact for Dangerous Dog Cases." It was during this time that she adopted her first beagle, Daisy.
-
While working with dangerous dogs, Kellie noticed a significant lack of understanding about dog behaviour and specific breeds. She realised that, with the right knowledge, most biting cases could have been prevented.
-
Kellie also realised, after seeking training for Daisy, that most dog trainers weren’t tailoring their methods to the breed. They were using traditional obedience training, which didn’t suit Daisy as a beagle—an independent breed not naturally inclined toward obedience training.
-
Kellie attended the Dog Training College (IMDT), where she learned to train Daisy using breed-specific methods that suited beagles’ unique traits. Inspired by this approach, she eventually left the police force to support other Beaglers in better understanding and training their beagles.
