Dogs are like humans in the aspect that when we are alone we are scared. Being with new people and in new places they feel like us. No dog likes the idea of being alone, threatened, frightened, or angry. Avoiding these emotions will be best for your dog and you can help them to not feel in these ways.

Many dogs feel in panic when the owner is not at home, even if they are not in any kind of real danger. If the panic persists in your dog follow this advice. It is better to take your dog to the vet to check your dog and then the vet can determine what kind of care your dog needs.

There are many differents levels of panic that your dog can experience. We can develop some kind of panic in our dogs when we tell them something with a high-pitched voice. Dogs can show their fear through felling less motivated. They might be less active. They might try to hide or seek help with their owner. A dog that feels safe is more energetic, wants to go out and play. That is the opposite of when they feel intimidated.

We are concered abut our dog's needs so make sure the dog feels safe. One good example is when you have to go to work and your dog is left alone in the house, they may feel insecure or very nervous when they see no company in the house. They need to learn for themselves that you are going to return. You can help your dog to not feel alone during most of the time. Leave some toys that like so they can play and have something to chew. This will also help your dog so he does not find any belongins of yours and destroy it.

Another exellent idea is when you go to work you can leave the TV or radio turned on into a station or chanel where sounds are not very high, otherwise your dog is going to feel more scared. Leave the radio and TV at a good level of volume. Do not leave it very high because the dog's ears are more sensitive than ours so you dog will feel more comfortable and relaxed. Also if you give your dog a pice of clothing, your dog can feel more confident and can feel your presence even when you are not there.

The socialization of your dog is very important from babyhood, it is not good to protect your puppy too much. The best way to help your dog is by exposing them to many people and other animals because it can help your dog to develop confidence and adaptability.
