Dogs, as a rule, are very attached to the owners therefore separation from them is always taken very painfully. As well as people, dogs are subject to stresses, and the loneliness is one of the reasons of development of neurosises. It leads to the fact that the pet begins to gnaw footwear and things in the house, to spoil and soil carpets, floors, to howl and bark. It is necessary gradually to accustom a dog to stay at home alone so that she did not experience unpleasant emotions.
Instruction
1. Do not give in to emotions, you are not angry with a dog who misses and behaves outrageously in the apartment while you are absent. Try to understand the pet: alone he despairs, does not know whether you will return back. The dog will get used to such situation if you correctly behave and will have patience. To accustom a dog to sit one, first of all change the behavior when leaving the house and return. As a rule, owners, leaving a dog, tenderly console an animal, iron and show positive emotions. Returning, owners become angry because of the spoiled things and abuse a dog. Behave on the contrary: when parting be cool, and coming home, you praise a dog, despite a disorder.
2. Allocate to the pet the own place where he will feel safe. For this purpose it is possible to buy special doghouses for the house or to make with own hands from boxes of the suitable size. Put a warm laying in the doghouse. Accustom a dog to this place gradually: at first put the box to the bedroom and put something tasty there. Doors have to be open that the dog could always enter and leave. After a while it is possible to begin to cover, and then to close doors. Soon the dog will get used to the doghouse and will consider it the reliable place where it is possible to remain while there are no owners.
3. Accustom a dog to be one even if you do not leave the house. For this purpose limit access to any room where you are. The closed door for an animal has to become a symbol of fast return of the owner and joy of a meeting, but not punishment. Leave a dog one in the room, having said goodbye to it it is cool, and after a while return, praise and caress an animal.
4. When the dog gets used to the place, move it in other room that at night she remained one too. So the dog will get used soon that there are no owners nearby, and will perceive it quietly.
