“I can’t leave my dog ​​alone!”

There are dogs that cannot be left alone: ​​they howl, bark, ruin things, tear apart the door, leave puddles and heaps … And it happens that the owner cannot leave the dog alone, even if she feels great alone. And leaving home, a person is tormented by a sense of guilt: how is it that the best friend remains alone …

Did you recognize yourself? Then read on, maybe you will feel better.

First of all, it is worth analyzing why you cannot bear to leave your pet alone.

Are you worried about the safety of your property? Then you need to understand why the dog spoils things, and work with the cause.

Are you afraid that something will happen to your dog? Then you should think about how to ensure its safety in your absence. For example, close the wires.

Do you think that you are not giving your dog communication and attention? And here it is necessary to stop in more detail.

If a dog does have basic wellbeing issues, that’s one thing. For example, she is bored from a lack of physical and intellectual activity, or the life of a pet is too predictable and lacks variety. In this case, it is worth considering how you can remedy the situation and provide the four-legged friend with the necessary conditions. 

But sometimes it happens that everything is fine with a dog in life, that is, a person provides her with basic well-being – 5 freedoms, but still suffers when she leaves home. The feeling of guilt from the fact that the dog is left alone is characteristic of owners who are responsible and concerned about the well-being of the pet. But the feeling of guilt in such situations is not entirely justified.

Dogs sleep much more than humans. And, most likely, left alone, your four-legged friend, well-walked and filled with impressions, having the opportunity to realize his potential of physical and intellectual activity, will simply sleep soundly. Most likely, even having experienced relief from the opportunity to be in peace and quiet.

If even understanding this does not save you from torment and embarrassment, it’s not about the dog. And, perhaps, it is worth contacting a psychologist in order to understand what exactly prevents you, even making the dog happy, from enjoying life yourself.
