How to stop my dog from being lonely

I have had my dog for a month now, she is used to having another dog or someone with her all the time. when we are both gone to work she cries for us for a long period of time, our neighbors tell us. we leave animal planet on the tv for her. this still doesn’t work.she is 4 years old.

Answer #1

ok so you leave her in the kitchen or some area away from you for 5 mins to start and you leave a treat and a kong full of peanut butter then when you here start to cry you go and get herb that should work oh and you gradualy go longer and longer until she doesn’t cry at all hope I help

Answer #2

Ahh! Poor baby! I think she needs another friend! Have you thought about getting her a playmate! You would be amazed, after they get used to each other, at the difference it will make in her! She will have a new playmate, won’t feel lonely when you are not home, always have someone to keep her company and play with her and her anxiety level will go down, because she won’t be bored and all alone!

Answer #3

Is she crated? If so does she have anything to entertain her? Is she in the yard? Can she go outside whenever she wants?

I guess if you say she is watching TV she is in. I would wonder if she is crated and bored? I guess I need a little more information? Like does she have a doggie door or what kind of crate is she in or is she crated. Another pet may not be the answer yet.

Do you walk your dog or play with it when you do get home.?

Answer #4

She’s used to having another dog with her…so I don’t think a kong is going to fit the bill…either another dog…even a kitty will be company…
