[quote=Anonymous]As someone who has had 2 dogs with bad separation anxiety, get the dog used to being alone right from the start. This doesn’t mean leaving them alone for 8 hours on the first day, but if the dog is already kennel trained, make him sleep in the crate at night in a room other than your bedroom. Leave for short errands 1-2 hours and slowly building up to longer trips away. Don’t make a big deal out of coming and going. Don’t use the crate as a place of punishment. Feed them and give treats in the crate to create a positive association. [/quote]
