Subject:   SAPARATION ANXIETY2 WHAT TO DO: Name:   Paradise Bayou Dog Grooming Date Posted:   Apr 11, 07 - 6:55 AM IP Address:   74.193.121.240 Email:   paradise_byu_pet_grooming@yahoo.com Instant Messenger:   paradise_byu_pet_grooming Website:   http://paradisebyudoggrooming.bravehost.com/ Message:   - Whenever you are getting ready to leave the house, make your routine less predictive and obvious. You can ignore the dog, practice obedience behaviors, such as “Sit” and “Down Stay,” or distract the dog with a chew bone or toy. - Keep your departures and arrivals low key so the dog doesn’t associate comings and goings with arousal and stress. - Practice short absences and gradually build up the time you are gone. - Use reward-based training, practice out-of-sight “Sit” and “Down Stays” around the house so you can be in one room and the dog in another. - When not training the dog and, until you have the problem resolved, arrange for someone to be with the dog at all times when you are away. - Teach the dog mannerly ways to gain your attention, such as “Sit,” “Down,” and “Bring a toy.” If your dog has learned to gain your attention when you’re home by barking, pawing, and mouthing, then it should come as no surprise that your dog has temper tantrums when you’re away. - Give your dog plenty of physical exercise before leaving your dog for lengthy periods of time, especially if you leave first thing in the morning.
