I work from home but travel two/three weeks at a time every two months or so. My baby, Atticus, is home 9 hours alone while my husband is at work. I feel soo guilty and I fear creating an anxiety problem. My next trip is coming up (Sept 12-Oct 3). I recently came across the following article when looking for ideas:
Tips for Leaving Your Dog Home Alone - Dog Carriers, Small Dog Accessories, Cat Supplies, Pet products and More and PetsAlley.com
I ordered both the Kong toy and the Buster Cube. I think Atticus will love them.
The Dog Appeasing Pheromones (DAP) products can be viewed on Amazon.com. I haven't decided on ordering one yet. Fascinating new concept. Maybe it'll help.
