Try to help your dog relax
It's a Saturday morning. You rush through breakfast, walk the dog, and then get to soccer practice on time. A few hours later, you return home, only to find that the dog has made your bedroom untidy. Your favorite sports shoes are in poor condition.
Before you get angry, stop and think. Your dog wasn't misbehaving (行为不端) just for the fun of it. Some dogs just feel nervous when left alone. It's called separation anxiety (分离焦虑).
Think of it this way: Dogs can't ask where you're going or when you'll be back. They can't call you on the phone. Since you're not there, they need to find you. Dogs may suddenly develop separation anxiety. But with practice and patience (耐心), you can teach your dog to be comfortable being left alone.
Put on your jacket, and then sit back down. Open and close the door, and then sit down. After a while, walk out the door for 10 seconds, then 20, then a minute and so on.
Besides, you can also try the following ways:
Teach your dog a word or action that you use every time you leave, which tells your dog you'll be back.
Help comfort (安慰) your dog by leaving a piece of clothing that smells like you.
Before you leave, give your dog a toy.
A. Your clothes are on the floor. B. It will keep him / her busy while you're away. C. And he / she wasn't punishing you for leaving. D. All they know is that they want to be with you. E. Little by little your dog will learn that when you leave, you will return. F. You can help your dog by offering him / her some food. |
