🐶 Dog Everyday · 2 min
Practising being alone
In small steps, without drama.
Start small
Practise just a few minutes at first. Leave the room, then the home, and come back before your dog gets restless. Build up slowly.
No big fuss
Don't make a big deal of leaving and coming back. Calm goodbyes and hellos show: being alone is normal.
Tire him out first
After a walk with sniffing and a meal, resting is easier. A chew can bridge the first part.
If it doesn't work
If your dog barks, howls or destroys things in panic, that's not disobedience but stress. A dog trainer can help.
In shortBeing alone is learned in small steps.
