Hello again ,
One of the biggest reasons that dogs act up, whine, and chew
things up when you leave them alone for an extended period of
time is separation anxiety... and there's an easy fix.
Far too many dog owners make it seem like they're never going
to come home every time that they leave the house...
Are you treating every morning with your dog as though you're
dropping your parents, or your spouse off at the airport?
If you're giving them a long good-bye, with a lot of hugs and
kisses every time you leave them to go to work, they're going
to start to wonder...
Is my owner ever coming home again?
Dogs are very smart animals, and although I know you're going
to miss them when you go off to work, or out shopping for the
day - you need to keep undertand that your dog is only doing
exactly what they think you want them to.
A good rule of thumb?
Act the way you want your dog to act, he'll follow your lead
when you're gone.
If you leave them all riled-up, why would you expect them to
calm down right away the minute you walk out the door?
On the other side of the coin, don't make it into a big deal
when you finally come back home either. If your dog expects a
rowdy play session the minute you walk through the door, they
could get excited a little bit early if you're running late.
And...
That's not a good thing.
If you're coming home to find your shoes chewed up, or your
couch torn to shreds ... it's at least partially your fault.
You can't expect to leave an excited dog all alone, and ask
them to calm down the minute you walk out the door ...
Pretty simple, huh?
If you'd like to learn even more simple tricks to keep your
house in tact, so that you can spend as much happy time with
your dog as possible, I invite you to join the Training Pet Dog today.
Dogs are creatures of habit, and if you're reinforcing the
wrong habits in your dogs early, you're going to run into all
kinds of trouble later trying to un-do all of the unwanted
behaviors your dog is exhibiting.
Trust me, it's a lot easier to live with your dog when you
plant the right behaviors right from the start...
I'd love to help you do just that, and if you're ready, we
can get started right away.
To A Happier Dog, Steve Hilton
P.S. If you just can't bare the thought of giving your dog
a simple good-bye before walking out the door, give them a
big good-bye, but do it at least 15 minutes before you are
actually going to leave...
By saying good-bye early, you're going to get your "cuddle"
time in, but you're also going to be giving your dog plenty
of time to calm back down before you walk out the door.
