Your dog is your best friend. However, we cannot be around them all the time. We have obligations like a job. This may mean that your dog will be left alone in his apartment or house. Your dog will have to deal with this, but he won’t like it. They will find different ways to deal with this lack of attention.
Let’s face it, your dog is going to miss you. They actually love you more than you can understand. They will have to deal with separation anxiety. Due to this separation anxiety, they may destroy things or how when you are gone. However, this type of behavior is not acceptable. As the most intelligent creature, you will need to train your best friend to deal with your separation with them. This will require some research and patience.
First, it’s important to understand what causes separation anxiety. They just want you to come home. Being left alone for the first time can be very stressful for them if they are used to human contact every minute of the day. This will be especially apparent if your angry friend is from a kennel or shelter. Being confined is very stressful for any animal. When a dog is freed from such a horrible environment, he will feel a freedom never experienced before. He will see you as the reason for his freedom. This will create an instant bond with you and losing contact with you will make him feel anxious.
Dealing with your dog’s separation anxiety may involve doing a few simple things. Consider leaving some of his old clothes in an area he or she can get to. Dogs have a great sense of smell and this could help them think of you and reduce their separation anxiety.
If you’re planning a vacation where you can’t take your dog, consider asking a friend to watch your irate friend. This friend should know your dog and be willing to take proper care of it. This will help your dog deal with the issue of separation from you. If your dog is already comfortable with this person, this will make the transition time from being without you less of an issue.
One thing to remember is that punishment will not help your dogs with separation anxiety. This can make the situation worse. You need to help your dog understand that you will be back. Leave your dog in a situation where he feels comfortable.
Remember that your dog is much smarter than you think. They require attention as they are your best friends.
