Agree with @elbrant and I'd like to add, when you return be very matter of fact, do not make a big fuss, particularly if she is excited and effusive in her greeting to you. Sure, acknowledge her if you must but don't make any sort of big deal out of it. Go about your business, e.g. if you've been shopping, put your things away before spending any time with her. Your goal is to make your absence just part of a normal routine, nothing to be excited about. I've had two separation anxiety dogs, and you know you have won the battle when the dog just glances at you in an "oh, you're back" way and doesn't bother getting off the couch! Yes, people like it when their dog greets them and makes a big fuss, but if you feed that behaviour you give too much emphasis to your absence and that can grow into anxiety in your dog.
Help sizing a Martingale collar??
-
Hello- I am going to order a martingale collar for Meeka, and they custom make them whatever size you want, like a small is usually 8-12 inches, but you can custom that. So what is the best way to measure to give me the range I would want it to be?? I dont want it to be too loose or too tight when pulled.. this is my first martingale, so any help is welcomed! thanks!!
