A common problem faced by many dog owners is the need for dog separation training. The problem could be in the form of annoying barking when leaving the house, or it could be a more serious problem.

The first step in dog separation anxiety training is to recognize and understand the dog's mentality as a pack animal. You, as the master, are of course the leader. Dogs can become very attached to their owners and therefore get very nervous when you are away. 

You can deal with it simply by changing the actions or routines you follow when you leave the house. This is because your dog is watching you get ready to leave, whether you're going to work in the morning or out at night, and this act gives the impaired ability to leave you alone. You can also provide separation anxiety training to your dog for the above-mentioned problem.

Things to do

The first thing to do when you start training for dog separation anxiety is to change your routine or the course of action you take when you leave the house. Do things in a different order, get dressed sooner or later, and change the alarm clock. 

Dogs notice and collect small actions, all of which are related to your leaving process. Because of this, he may exhibit anxious behavior when your alarm clock goes off in the morning as it signals the start of the whole process of leaving him alone. 

Minor variations can disrupt the pattern that leads to his anxiety, simple things like picking up a key and then sitting or waiting for a while rather than just walking away.
