My next door neighbour has just told me that when I go out my dog cries like a baby until it sees or hears my car on the drive.
We have had him since February. So due to Covid he's not been left in his own very
Much. Not sure if this is why he has seperation anxiety.
I don't go out a lot and I work from home so it's only probably an hour a day and not every day.
However I can't expect my neighbours to have to put up with him crying and howling as they said this morning he sounds really sad and they feel sorry for him. They said they thought he'd be over it by now as he's 9 months now.
It's been going on for weeks. I've apologised and said I wished they'd have said sooner so I could have tried before now to resolve it.
Has anyone successfully helped a dog overcome seperation anxiety? What did you do? How long did it take?
I'm reading up online and I have bought some Kong toys for him (you put food in and it keeps them Occupied trying to get it out) but I wondered if anyone had any tried and tested methods?
