help with dog seperation anxiety?

The answer below couldn't be more wrong, spending time with it and starting a ritual is just going to stress him out more. Think about it this way.. you would be giving him all this fuss and then buggering off. Of course he's going to be stressed lol.

You need to start from basics. Start by sitting in the front room and relax. Get up and head just out of sight of the dog, touch something outside the room, and come and sit back down with no eye contact. If he follows, tell him "no, back in your bed" or something similar, and start again. Repeat this 10 times as an up and down method. Get up, go out the room, come back. What we are wanting is for your dog not to panic. You want to create an association that it is normal for you to leave the room and you are going to come back. Some dogs take many many tries with this method but you must not move further until he no longer follows you. What you are looking for is for him to relax his head back down and not worry.

Next stay out the room for slightly longer, only 30 or so seconds more. Continue this 10 times until he no longer follows and shows signs of relaxing.

You only need to practise this for 10 mins each day.

Keep extending the time that you are out the room until you feel you can move on.

The next stage is to do everything you normally do when you leave the house. Grab your keys, coat and just head towards the door but don't actually go out. From the min you reach the door, take everything off and sit back down. Repeat this quickly one after 10 times.

The exercise is to change the associations of the dog so he just thinks its a normal thing for you to do.

Changing the stress and an associations before you leave the house will make so much of a difference.

Make sure you are not over praising when you come back home as it works in the same way. he has been under so much stress and then you come home and reassure him and praise for him stressing out lol.

Hope this helps.

To learn how to sing better you can find some course online. Try this http://improvesinging.keysolve.net/ it's the best online course! These are the main point to improve to sing better: 1. Breathing 2. Pitching (keeping in tune) 3. Articulation (especially for karaoke, it's important that you sing clearly as you would speak clearly- like remembering to finish words like 'Want' with an accented 't' sound at the end 4. Texturisation (this involves using dynamics in your voice to go louder and softer, more raspy then whispery to paint a textured picture journey along the way of the song!) For you some tips: -Find a song which you can sing before you go. If you could let me know your gender, how good you are at singing, and whether you have a deep or high voice I'll be happy to recommend a few for you -Take DEEP breaths during breaks in the song. Use any gaps to take in as much air as possible. Air is your bullets, your voice is your gun. ill the gun with the biggest, baddest bullets for best effects. But don't breath into the microphone! -Don't get too drunk before you sing- even if nervous. If you stay sober, bear in mind you'll sound better anyway because other people might be under the influence! -Make sure you use your WHOLE mouth to make the words sound clear. Don't mumble through tight lips. Practice making 'oooh' sounds and 'aaah' sounds and 'eeee' sounds into a mirror. See what your mouth wants to do instinctively. -Practice, Practice, Practice before the event so you'll know the song inside out. Don't get cocky though- you're nerves might throw you a bit so always keep an eye on the screen. Karaoke tracks might even be written differently to the original! -Have fun, and don't take yourself too seriously. People who take themselves seriously at karaoke are never liked as much as people who know they aren't as good, but put in an effort to try their best. It's a case of the underdog winning every time.

My dog has separation anxiety as well, but she has made improvements. I have only had her 4months and she is just over a year old. We did 6 weeks of obedience training, which helped to keep her calm. I also give her kongs and certain toys only when I'm gone. Start by leaving her w/ toys or kongs for a short amount of time - like a minute. Come back and praise her for playing with her toys - she'll learn that is what you want her to do while you are gone. I have also heard that a tight t-shirt helps. Good luck!

Singing is something that everybody can learn and improve. Of course, some are more naturally skilled than others, but even a poor voice can be overcome by dedication, practice, and more practice. Even if you're content to sing in the shower, there are some things you can do to improve your voice. This is probably the best online course to improve your singing skills https://tr.im/sUKxI

Your golden voice will be ringing out in no time!

Before you leave the house take some time with your pet. Singing and & counting from 5-10 Nap time; I'll see ya in a little while. Walk away saying in a reassuring tone of voice really does work.

I've tried this 7 really does work. The more simpler technique the more effective. For not be in control;

use the tone of voice that your dog respects . they want to be reassured to please you because their

love is unconditional .
