| ![]() The reason you don't make a fuss (although it is soooo hard not to) when you return is that it helps minimize the anxiety for the dog. When you leave and make a big deal, the dog will think that you making it a big deal is because it IS a big deal, adding to the anxiety. When you return, if you make returning a big production, the dog will think that you returning is OUTSIDE the norm, and maybe next time you won't return. One other theory behind not making a fuss is the whole "pack leader" deal where the alpha is never the one to get excited and runs to greet the followers. I don't know if I buy into that part... but hey, I will do whatever it takes to help my Bitsy. |
