I have been doing this for about 6 months and now he will even wait to eat his treat until after I leave.
I do have to make sure that its a treat that he can't gobble up in seconds. I usually give him a chicken jerky.
Like I said, its probably not the best method but it has saved me from tearing my little guy off my leg in the mornings. And I dont feel as guilty leaving him.  |
Maybe I need to get better treats!!! Mia ignores them.... maybe she's just trying to make me feel worse for leaving her! She eventually eats them because they are gone when I get home!
Oh, another thing I forgot to mention before... I also leave the TV on for her when I leave. I think it comforts her just a tad. BF makes fun of me for turning it to Animal Planet!
