Is your new puppy having trouble being alone? Don’t worry! Here are some tips to help them adapt to those moments of independence.
- Step by Step: Start with short periods of absence and gradually increase the time. This will teach your puppy that being alone is normal and safe.
- Prepare the Space: Create a comfortable and secure area for your furry friend. Put their favorite toys and make sure they have access to fresh water.
- Positive Reinforcement: Before leaving, give your puppy a toy or treat they love. This will associate your departure with something positive.
- Positive Training: Practice commands like “stay” and “quiet” to help your puppy feel more confident being alone.
- Stay Calm: Before leaving and when returning, stay calm so as not to transmit anxiety to your puppy. Calmness is contagious!
