bark Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 My dog would get really anxious when I left him with friends to go on holiday. They would distract him with treats (my dog is food mad), lavish attention on him, play with him and take him out to parks, normal dog stuff so he didn't of me. It got to the point where he enjoyed his stay with my friends that he got depressed when he came home. I had also built up the rapport over a number of weeks so that he'd get used to staying at this friend's house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
