Once the dog accepts that? it is okay for you to leave because you will return, the dog will typically be fine for the entire day. However, if you leave a dog alone excessively, this can create problems. More secure dogs deal with a longer time of separation better than less secure dogs. Building security and self-confidence in a dog helps lower separation anxiety--my book tells more about doing that. Separation anxiety is anxiety created from your leaving.

Two houses wont help the dog settle in. When I take on a rescue dog for reform, I find that these dogs often become stressed in their new? environment. Dont accommodate that stress, work to help the dog learn to feel secure. Crates used positively help dogs feel secure. Keep things positive and train for what you want, dont discipline for what you dont want.

The? dogs issue is that he or she is insecure about you being gone. Once you get the dog to relax about your leaving, theh dog learns to accept your absence. That being said, dogs do have a sense of time and too much time away has its own consequences. Most issues with separation anxiety happen within the first ten to fifteen minutes of your departure.
