Left Along Anxiety Part Two
Dogs can sometime think you are going to leave and never come back. Kids go threw this as well. A lot of times you can give a kid a key and tell them you can't go home without the key so the parent has to come back to get the key. Your dog can have the same anxiety. When you have some time to train your dog, put them where you normally do when you leave. Wait five minutes and come back. Do this several times over and hour or two. Then the next time increase the leaving by 10 minutes. Work your way up to 20 etc. This is like a kid you want to sleep in their own room. Have them lay on a blanket on the floor and every night move them closer and closet to the door until eventually they are in their room. Just like weighted blankets and vest for kids with Autism, they have weighted vest. The weight acts like a tight hug and makes the kids-dogs feel safe and snuggled.
