Teaching a dog to stay home alone
Build absence gradually and predictably and avoid repeated panic.
BEHAVIOR✓ In-depth guide
How small should you start?
Start below the point where obvious distress begins. At first this may be seconds or minutes.
Why use a camera?
A camera can help you see what happens after you leave, without diagnosing behaviour remotely.
When professional help?
With panic, escape attempts, self-injury or prolonged barking/howling, individual assessment is advisable.
