Separation anxiety is always been something dog owners need to be aware of.  How to be alone is something that we have to teach our dogs.  In a perfect world we start this when they are puppies with crate training and the natural rhythm of our lives as we need to go to work, school, family functions or just out to dinner.  But right now we aren't doing any of those things.  As we are spending so much more time with our dogs a concern that has come up recently is how our dogs will react when we do start leaving the house again.In this episode, I address exactly that.  I have you some ideas on how to ease your dog or puppy back into being alone (or maybe being left alone for the first time).  I talk about specific considerations during this time of COVID-19.If this is something you are struggling with I also recommend you check out Episode 022: How to Prevent and Treat Separation Anxiety. a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox" data-provider="linkedin" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Linkedin" href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playtimepaws.com%2Fseparation%2F&title=YNP%20Episode%3A%20How%20to%20Prevent%20Separation%20Anxiety%20During%20Stay-at-Home" style="font-size: 0px; width:24px;height:24px...
