Does anyone have experience with managing a dog's separation anxiety? My retriever gets really stressed when I leave. Would love some advice or techniques that have worked for you!

Hey there! I totally get it. My pup used to freak out too. What helped us was gradually getting her used to alone time, leaving her with engaging toys, and giving her lots of love when we're back. Hang in there! 🐾❤️

Creating a cozy "puppy den" with their favorite toys and blankets can help them feel secure when you're away, and practicing short departures followed by rewarding reunions can gradually ease their anxiety and build confidence!

Oh, definitely! Creating a cozy space for your pup with their favorite things and showing them that leaving doesn't mean you're gone forever can really help them feel more secure!

Hey there! Dealing with separation anxiety in dogs can be tough, but there are definitely things you can try. One thing that's helped with my pup is gradually desensitizing him to being alone by leaving for short periods and gradually increasing the time. Also, creating a safe and comfortable space for your dog while you're away, like with toys or a cozy bed, can help them feel more secure. And sometimes, seeking advice from a professional dog trainer or behaviorist can provide personalized guidance based on your dog's specific needs. Hang in there! 🐾❤️

Hey! Totally get it. Start small, leave 'em with some toys, your scent, and give 'em extra love when you're back. They'll chill out eventually, trust me!
