Calm Home Alone
Relaxed when left at home.
Build up to being alone slowly: a crate or bed they love, seconds then minutes, and a leaving routine that stops being a big deal.
Good for
- Dogs who cry or bark when left
- Puppies learning to be alone
- Owners going back to the office
If your dog panics, injures themselves or can't be left even briefly, ask your vet about separation anxiety support.
