[NAGDU] Treating What Could be Separation Anxiety

[Aleeha Dudley]

AHi Joe, 
The first thing I would suggest,  as much as possible, is to begin with a short time in the crate, gradually increasing the time left alone. If the long periods of time are unavoidable, perhaps music or a toy could help. Another alternative would be playing some sort of talk radio. 
HTH, 
Aleeha and Whitley

Also, one suggestion I might have would be if the person put something in the crate that the dog associates with him/her, or perhaps a toy. Also, I am wondering if the person could practice crating the dog in a simulated situation like that during the off work hours so it can adjust.
