Practice leaving for short intervals and gradually increasing time, helping your dog adjust to your absence without distress.
Provide engaging toys or treat puzzles to keep your dog occupied and distracted during your absence.
Play soothing music or white noise to create a calming environment that eases anxiety when you're not home.
Leave clothing or bedding with your scent to offer comfort and familiarity, reducing separation distress.
Associate your departure with positive experiences like treats, making your leaving less anxiety-inducing.
If severe, consult a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for tailored strategies to address your dog's separation anxiety.
