Hey, I have a PH a year old this week ❤️ He is Anxious when left alone this makes me feel horrible I have tried everything thunder vest, calming sprays, radio, I have a camera on, short amount of time out of the house and dog walker. Any help would be appreciated thank you and love your channel x

Oh a year with a pharaoh, how amazing!!! We are fortunate that Malik don’t mind being home alone, I think he actually enjoys it! Have you tried giving him a tasty Kong, freeze it and once he is really into to it you leave (don’t say anything to him) for 2 minutes or less and hopefully he will continue with it and not even notice that you leave?! Then you gradually go up to 5 minutes etc! Just a suggestion, that’s how we trained Malik to be home alone 😃

Hi thank you so much for your reply! Yes kongs have been tried with wet food treats etc… he won’t touch it, he won’t eat or drink if I go out 😕 We have had a dog behaviourist in and been told to rattle keys, go in and out of the house in seconds, coat on and off. I am a dog groomer and always had dogs from a young age never seemed to have this problem 😭 Thank you for your reply we will get there in the end! ❤️
