As much as you can, try and avoid leaving your puppy alone before the age fo 4 or 5 months: otherwise you run the risk of creating a real anxiety crisis for the young dog.

Being left at home alone will be a fact of life for your puppy , either occasionally or regularly.  Either way, he needs to be preparedfor it.

• Use the times when he is tired to get him used to being alone.
• At the beginning , leave the room for just a few minutes.  If the puppy cries, come back to him, tell himto be quiet and go out again. When you come back, praise him if he has kept calm.
• Gradually , you can extend the length of time yo are out so that the dog accepts your absebce as quite normal and doesn't  expect eiter  elaborate farewell rituals or exuberant reunions.,
