*Separation Anxiety*

More precisely, 

Separation Anxiety and Your Dog

Dogs are social animals and therefore possess a real need for 
relationships.

Spending time with others dogs just doesn't do the trick; she wants 
spend time with you.

It's hard to find the time, as much as we want to. Life gets in the 
way.

Try these tips for spending more time with your dog.

1. Take her along when you run errands.

2. Let her sleep in your bedroom. She can her own doggie bed, placed 
at either the corner of the room or right next to your bed.

3. Find fun things you both like to do.

4. Get creative about multi-tasking. Can you walk the dog while 
listening to your favorite radio show with headphones?

5. Get over the "one-man dog" idea; there's no shame in sharing 
responsibility for the dog.

I hope you understand that these tips should not be considered a 
substitute for the regular quality time together that your dog longs 
for. Your dog will always require focused time with you.

The good news is that with just a little thought and effort, you can 
go a long way towards fulfilling her needs without taxing you beyond 
your capacity.
