Most dog owners have no other choice but to leave their dogs at home while they go out to earn a living.
In order to prevent separation anxiety, you should make the first time a nice experience for him. First: don’t draw extra attention to your leaving. Make sure your dog is in a calm state of mind before you leave, without talking or even looking at him.
This might sound harsh and cold hearted; consider the reason why you need to say good bye to him is to make yourself feel less guilty. You could start saying good bye earlier if it still makes you uncomfortable.
Make sure your dog had at least a half an hour physical exercise and a walk before you go to drain his energy. Do not permit whining or howling. Wait a few minutes after you closed the door. Practice patience.
When you get back home from work, do not allow your dog to get excited. Do not shower him with affection, but go about your business. Then take him out for a walk and then feed him. Now you can give him all the love and affection you want!
