Start by creating positive alone-time associations. Gradually increase your departure durations while leaving treats or toys to occupy your pup. Consistency is key, so establish a routine for feeding, walks, and play.
Enrichment is a powerful tool. Interactive toys and puzzle feeders keep your dog engaged and mentally stimulated. Basic training sessions also provide purpose and fun rewards.
During departures, keep it low-key. Avoid extravagant goodbyes and hellos; make them routine. Designate a cozy spot for your pup with their bed, familiar scents, and calming music.
For severe cases, seek professional help. If extreme distress or self-destructive behavior is evident, consult a veterinarian or behaviorist. Patience is essential throughout the process, as overcoming separation anxiety takes time.
