Establish a consistent daily routine for your dog to provide structure and predictability, which can help reduce anxiety levels.
Practice gradual departures by leaving your dog alone for short periods and gradually increasing the duration to help them acclimate to being alone.
Provide comfort items such as toys, blankets, or clothing with your scent to offer support and comfort to your dog when you're away.
Desensitize your dog to departure cues by practicing them without actually leaving, helping to reduce their association of these cues with separation.
Regard behavior modification techniques, such as counterconditioning and desensitization, to help change your dog's response to being alone.
Consult with a professional dog trainer or behaviorist for personalized guidance and support in addressing your dog's separation anxiety.
In severe cases, medication prescribed by a veterinarian may be necessary to help manage your dog's separation anxiety and improve their quality of life.
