Dogs can help us resolve loneliness and even improve our own mental health. Helpful, dogs are like angels around us. For dogs, the necessary company is particularly important, but for busy office workers, the company of dogs is undoubtedly a major problem in the process of raising dogs. After all, in the world of dogs, the existence and company of the owner In the whole world, the lack of the owner's company will more or less affect the dog's heart, and may cause various psychological problems in serious cases. However, office workers cannot help themselves and cannot stay with their dogs every day, which leads to separation anxiety in dogs, which is also a common psychology. So when is the possibility of suffering from separation anxiety disorder?

Dogs with separation anxiety generally have Several typical characteristics:

1. When the owner goes out to work in the morning, the dog is inexplicably nervous and anxious, and wants to go out together.

2. When there is no one at home, there will be constant wailing.

4. Defecation anywhere, which is very different from the usual well-behaved appearance.

5. The tendency of self-abuse, constantly screaming or biting oneself, digging the door hard and causing the claws to bleed.

It is definitely unrealistic to let office workers accompany you 24 hours a day, but since you have a dog, there is a responsibility and obligation area to help the dog solve it For these bad psychological problems, the separation anxiety of dogs can be easily solved by doing the following:

1. Buy a very comfortable dog for the dog in the corner of the living room or bedroom For the nest, it is best to choose a relatively closed cage. Do not buy the kind of iron cage grid or the like, because the confined space may make the dog feel more secure. Buy more toy treats for your dog, such as balls, bones and the like. You can reward your dog by exercising the habit of staying in the kennel more often.

Second, carry out daily training for the dog, first let the dog stay in the den to play by himself, then close the door pretending to be a door, go out for a few minutes and then come back, if the dog is still very tired at this time. The owner should reward him for playing with toys in the den, keep training in this way, and gradually extend the time he spends outside the door, so that the dog can adapt to being at home gradually, I believe there will be good results.

3. Don't try to say goodbye to the dog when you usually go out to work. Remind him that I'm going out. You should go out without saying hello. Some dogs are very smart and immediately raise their vigilance when they see their owner wearing shoes or clothes. Staring at the door ready to go out together. So if you want to go out, you can try not to disturb them, behave as casually as not going out, and gently close the door when the dog is not paying attention.

Fourth, don’t be too enthusiastic to call the dog when you get home from get off work, and don’t respond immediately to the dog’s warm welcome. Try to change what you do when you enter the house, just like you didn’t leave the house As usual, wait until the dog has calmed down before interacting with the dog. Don't be afraid of the enthusiasm of coming to the dog from Shanghai, because if you show the excitement that you haven't seen for a long time, it will remind the dog in a disguised form that it is difficult to see the owner, thereby increasing the psychological burden of the dog.

5. Prepare enough snacks to stay at home, such as buying a leaky food ball and put it in a variety of food, put it in the refrigerator in advance, and put the frozen leaky food ball on the dog before going out every day. In front of it, as long as it can spend most of its time and physical strength, sleep quietly and wait for the owner to come home.

Six, change toys regularly, buy more toys and tricks to attract the dog's attention, such as spherical toys with sound. But you must not give it all in the early stage. You can try to play with the same toy for a few days before changing to others, so that the dog can keep the toy fresh and avoid getting bored soon.

Seven, it is best not to be too quiet and dim at home, it is best to keep a sound before going out, such as turning on the TV or radio to make noise, so that the dog feels more secure.

8. Friends who have necessary or conditions can try to install monitoring or intercom equipment at home, and keep in touch with the dog from time to time, so that not only can the dog's every move and safety be monitored at home Problems, you can also talk to it from time to time, so that the dog feels more secure, just like the owner is still at home.
