The best tips to accustom a dog to stay alone. Some animals must spend many hours alone at home and suffer what is known as separation anxiety. During the time they have no company they can cry, howl, relieve themselves anywhere or break what they have at their disposal.

We must take into account as a first step that dogs are social animals and that they need to be in contact with other beings. This does not mean that you should always stay at home to avoid the dog feeling sad, but do take some precautions and change certain habits:

1. Accustom it from puppy

As the dog enters the house we have to teach him to stay alone. At the beginning, it will be for a short time - five minutes - and then during longer stays - of several hours - so that it is taken as something natural.

2. Exercise it

The lack of physical activity can affect the mood of the animal, so if before you go to the office you take him for a walk, when he returns, the dog will need a good rest. Get up half an hour early and take it out to the park or to go around the block.

3. Avoid the rush

Another way to accustom a dog to stay alone is by paying attention to your own habits: if you get up 10 minutes before leaving it is likely that you are here and there while you dress and take your stuff. On the other hand, if you have more time available and act calmly, your pet will relate your game to something pleasant.

In addition, we recommend that in the 15 minutes prior to your departure do not interact with the animal so that it calms down and anticipates its hours alone. If you play with him, you mime him or talk to him, it will be harder for him to accept that you are not.

4. Leave food and toys

Just at the moment you leave home, we advise you to give him some food; thus he will be entertained and, to make the digestion, he will lie down to rest. It would also be good to leave him some favorite toys or objects so he can bite and entertain for several hours.

5. Order the house and put music

Try not to leave any object within your reach, as this will not break or destroy anything in your absence. Avoid clothes lying on the floor and the open doors of the rooms or the balcony. Close the access to the pool if you leave it in the garden, or those environments that you consider dangerous.

6. Choose a special room

Finally, you can choose to leave it in a small environment, or without access to other spaces in the house, such as the kitchen. There you must dispose all your personal objects -cama, toys, feeding trough and drinker- and, for no reason in the world, tie you up. Allow it to move freely, but close those places where you do not want it to enter.
