In reply to Sparky. I’m sorry to hear that! If your dog is becoming more anxious, try starting with even shorter absences and gradually increasing the time. Make sure to reward calm behavior when you return! Hang in there!

I tried the gradual desensitization step, but my dog just gets more anxious when I leave for even a few minutes. What should I do if this happens? Any troubleshooting tips?

This is super helpful! I’d love to hear more about using toys or puzzles to keep dogs entertained while I’m out. Any recommendations?

Hey, great guide! I’d love to see more on how to deal with separation anxiety in older dogs. My pup is 10 and seems to be getting more anxious lately. Any tips for seniors? Thanks!

In reply to Blue Sky. That’s awesome to hear! Crate training can be a great addition to the process, especially if done positively. Thanks for sharing your success story!

I used the crate training method alongside your steps, and it worked wonders for my pup! I started making the crate a cozy hangout spot, and now he actually runs in there when I’m about to leave. Just a thought for anyone struggling!
