But sooner or later he should stay at home absolutely alone. It is easy to guess that it will become for a puppy an unpleasant surprise. How to accustom the kid to wait patiently for return of owners home?
Instruction
1. You should not expect from a puppy that he will quietly reconcile to leaving of the owner. Dogs inherently are gregarious animals, they by all means should participate in all events which take place in family. Especially it concerns puppies who in the first months of life need constant attention. Therefore be ready that reaction of a dog to loneliness will be negative. Try to remove, close and hide everything that the dog can spoil, gnaw, break off before leaving.
2. That the puppy learned to transfer normally loneliness, he needs to be accustomed to it gradually. For a start let he will get used to remain one in the room. Try to leave a puppy during the periods when he is full, walked and ready to take a nap. Wait when your pet calms down on the stove bench, leave the room and close a door. Even if the kid, having found out that there was one, will begin to howl and be scraped at a door, do not rush back at once. Let's a puppy be alone at least several minutes. After that you can enter, caress your canine friend, treat him tasty, praise. Repeat such training goings, gradually extending time. The puppy thus will understand that you will surely return, it is necessary just to wait.
3. It is possible to arrive back: to limit to a dog an entrance to some concrete room, for example, on kitchen. Leaving there, do not let a puppy after you. You are some time there, and then come back to your pet, tenderly welcoming it.
4. Leaving the apartment, try not to draw attention of a dog to your leaving. It is not necessary to say goodbye specially to a dog - it will only disturb her. On the contrary, distract her, for example, a toy or delicacy. Leaving, always leave several toys with which he will be able to occupy himself for a puppy. At the beginning to your pet too alone turned on TV or radio will also help not to feel. You can also leave to him some belonging earlier to you, but already unnecessary thing. To a puppy will be quieter if he carries away it to himself on a stove bench, feeling the owner's smell.
