1- ignore him completely 30minutes before you leave the house : dont look at him or touch his toys or food . Same thing when you get back home .
2- Dont be in an anxious state of mind and worried when you are leaving because they can sense that and become more anxious and sad . Just grab you keys and leave .
I went throught a lot with Royce and his separation anxiety and even hired a dog behaviorioust that cost me a fortune and spent hours practicing the exercises that she gave me that helped but didnt cure the problem 100 % .
Now Whenever im leaving and royce comes to the door all what i say is " hey royce stay " in a confident way and get out if he cries i will go back and repeat calmly the same thing and go out after 4 or 5 times he doesnt bother at all when i go out he just goes to sleep I guess he learned that I always come back . And pls dont give medication .
PS : i learned how to be in a cal assertive state of mind by watching Cesar Milan DVD season 1 . |
