| Separation Anxiety.... With or Without You October 26, 2006 Thought I would share my newsletter that I receive and I thought this topic might help.. Does your dog get destructive when you're gone all day? It might be separation anxiety that's fueling her behaviors. Try these steps. Spend 20 minutes every day ignoring your dog so alone time won't feel so strange. Also, while you are still at home try isolating her for a few minutes each day in her safe zone, be it a crate or a room she hangs out in when you're gone. Start with just a few minutes, but you can work up to an hour or two until she's comfortable being there by herself. When you do leave, give her plenty to do -- chew toys, treat puzzles, and other diversions. Upon your return, don't make a big deal of it. Just go about your business for a few minutes and say hello when your dog is calmer. The DogAge Tip of the Week is produced by RealAge. RealAge maintains editorial control over all DogAge content.
