In my experience, dogs with separation anxiety can overcome with their caregivers' patience, time, and dedicated approach.

Watch for signs of when your pet begins to get stressed to help identify triggers: is it when you pick up your keys? Is it when you open the garage door? While these activities may not be able to be avoided, they're a great opportunity to reward your animal to begin to condition it that these activities are good, positive times.

In addition, leaving the radio or tv on for the dog can be helpful in lowering their stress level.

If there's a "safe place" where the pet feels comfortable typically, you can also try leaving one of your items there - clothing item, blanket, etc.

The new conditioning requires time and patience but is so worth it in the long run!
