Seperation Anxiety

[rob190364 2,594]

My partner is on maternity and I work from home most of the week so my pup has never really been left on her own. Problem is, if we leave her now, even if it's just shopping for a couple of hours she gets proper stressed out. I have to leave her locked in the hallway with all the doors shut or she's rip up letters or chew shoes, or will go upstairs and get on the bed (she isn't allowed upstairs and never goes up when we're in). How do I get around this? Apparently you can get some drops for anxiety but not sure if they work or not? Any other tips?

start off with lockin her away an just standing in garden, talking to neighbours or wife or anything, let the dog hear ye an know ye are there, once ye feel she has got to the point where she will relax again, try it for longer, then maybe try it further away stop the taalking tho only make it short durations where yous are separated, then just build up from there,

 

i had to do it a few years ago with a dog that was about 13 months old before she ever really had to be left alone, an by 15 months she would happily spend a few hours on her own, an ended up a very easy dog to live with an leave in the house or kennel
