Five Easy Steps To Teach Your Dog To Be Home Alone

Roger Abrantes | Tue, 09/06/2011 - 06:43

Number one canine problem behavior is “home alone.” Don’t panic if someone tells you that your dog suffers from separation anxiety. It’s probably not the case. Anxiety is a serious disorder and most dogs don’t have any anxiety when left alone. They are either under-stimulated and burn their surplus energy by wrecking the furniture, they’re having fun and don’t know that it is wrong to destroy human possessions, or the owners have not taught them the desired routines when left home alone. There is a good chance that you can solve the problem with my five steps program.

You’re not alone. Problems with dogs that can’t be home alone (I call it CHAP=Canine Home Alone Problem) is the most common problem all over the world when we keep dogs as pets. Everybody seems to have a different idea as how to solve the problem. Remember the principle: too many cooks spoil the broth. If you choose to follow some other method, please do it and don’t even bother reading the following. If you choose to follow my five steps method, stick to it and don’t listen to what others tell you.teach your dog to be home alone in five steps:• DLO means desired learning objective.• QC means Quality Control and indicates the number of times

in a row (or similar criteria) you must have accomplished your DLO successfully before you move to the next step.

1. teach the dog to associate the bed (crate, blanket, spot, or whatever you have chosen) with positive experiences. DLO: The dog likes to lie down on the bed. QC: The dog goes often and voluntarily to its bed.• Throw a couple of treats on the bed of the dog (without the dog

seeing it) whenever there are none left. • Whenever the dog lies on the bed, reinforce it verbally (don’t

exaggerate, so that the dog gets up).• Sometimes, pet the dog when it lies on the bed (calmly).• Send the dog to bed with a particular signal, e.g. “bed” 10-20

times daily.• Send the dog to its bed often when you watch TV, read the

news, do computer work, etc.2. teach the dog meaning of the word “bed.”DLO: The dog goes to the bed after you say “bed” without any problems.QC: Ten successive correct behaviors.• Send the dog to the bed with the word “bed” by pointing to the

bed or throwing a treat on the bed. • Use only the word “bed.” Don’t say anything else.• Reinforce it verbally, calmly so it remains on the bed.3. the dog lies down on the bed even if you walk away. DLO: The dog lies down on the bed even if you walk away. QC: Ten successive correct behaviors.• Send the dog to the bed with the word “bed.”• Reinforce it verbally, calmly so it remains on the bed.• Stop reinforcing it immediately if it should leave within 10

seconds and ignore it for a couple of minutes. (Important: those two minutes must be particularly boring for the dog).

• Start all over until the dog remains on the bed even if you walk away.

4. teach the dog to stay on the bed.• DLO: The dog lies on the bed for three minutes after you leave

the room.• QC: Ten successive correct behaviors.• Reinforce the dog verbally as soon as it lies on the bed after

you said “bed.” Be calm.• When the dog lies quietly on the bed, leave the room for two

seconds, then come back.• Repeat, leaving the room at irregular intervals and for irregular

periods, e.g. 5 s, 30 s, 4 s, 1 minute, etc.• If the dog remains on the bed, do nothing.• Should the dog leave its bed, send it back and start all over.5. teach the dog to stay on the bed when you leave the room and close the door.• DLO: You can leave the dog and close the door without any

problem.• QC: Ten successive correct behaviors.• As soon as you can leave the room three minutes without

the dog leaving its bed, repeat procedures in point 4 but beginning to close the door.

• The first times, do not close the door, only touch it.• The following times, leave the door ajar. • Then, leave the room, close the door for two seconds, open it

and enter the room. If all is all right, do not pay attention to the dog. Otherwise, start all over with point 5.

• Finally, leave the room, close the door, stay out for irregular periods, open it and enter the room. If all is all right, do not pay attention to the dog.

Maintaining the good behavior• Even when you’re home, leave the dog alone sometimes. Do

not pay attention to it all the time.• Always stimulate the dog properly before leaving. Remember:

too little and too much are equally wrong.• Give the dog something to do when you leave. You don’t even

need to invest in expensive toys. A plastic bottle full of treats will keep the dog busy for a while figuring out how to take them out (watch the dog the first couple of times and encourage it, if necessary, to toss the bottle around and not bite it).

• Place the dog’s bed in a central place in the house (living room). Most dogs don’t like to feel isolated.

• Continue using “bed” and continue making the bed attractive with occasional treats, verbal reinforcing and petting (all very calmly).

• Make sure the bed is not too clean (most dogs don’t appreciate our flagrance drenched laundry), nor too dirty and is doggy-comfortable.

• Pick up your keys often (or put on your shoes, cap or whatever you normally do before you leave) so that the dog disassociates these cues with being left alone.

• Here is some explanation for those of you interested in the principles of these five-steps method:

• We create a positive association with the bed so that the dog will go often and voluntarily to its bed.

• We get the dog used to lie on the bed when we are at home either relaxing or doing our home work. After all, the ideal dog is the dog that it quiet at home and active when out.

• We teach the dog the meaning of the word “bed.”

GUNS N SASHES 9

• We get the dog used to us leaving the room and coming back as a normal routine.

• We teach the dog to associate the door with a normal routine.• We create a routine for the dog that when there’s nothing to do at

home, the best is to go to bed.• You maximize your chances of speedy success if:• The dog sleeps on its bed at night and (even better) if it doesn’t sleep

in the same room as you.• The dog is routinely well stimulated (under-stimulated dogs are more

difficult to teach to be home alone)• The dog is not hyper-active and over-stimulated (over-stimulated dogs

have difficulties in remaining in the same spot for longer periods of time).

Important for you:• Be calm no matter what you do.• Advance step by step.• Be patient.• Control your emotions and behavior when you succeed as well as

when you fail.• If you haven’t anything important to say to the dog, be quiet.• It’s your responsibility alone to understand and implement this five-

steps program and to adjust them if needed, not the dog’s.• If my five steps method don’t seem to solve the problem, it may be

that your dog shows genuine separation anxiety in which case you must contact a competent specialist.

CODE OF ETHICS OF THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB OF VIC INC VCA CODE OF ETHICS

1. Members must abide by the VCA Code of Ethics, and any laws, by-laws and regulations of the federal and state governments and the relevant local council.

STANDARD OF THE BREED

2. The Breed Standard is a written criterion developed by the Golden Retriever Club of the United Kingdom and accepted by the Victorian Canine Association (VCA), which describes the ideal Golden Retriever. Members shall breed only for the purpose of improving the quality of the breed, and not for the pet shop market or any other commercial purpose.

VCA RULES & REGULATIONS

3. Members shall ensure that when selling or transferring a dog to another person that documents as required by the VCA Inc. Rules and/or Regulations, will be provided to the purchaser or transferee.

4. Members shall ensure that each dog to be used for breeding or to be shown or worked is properly registered with the VCA, in accordance with the understanding of the purchaser.

5. Members must maintain accurate breeding and litter records. HEREDITARY DEFECTS, HEALTH & BREEDING

6. Members owning stud dogs shall be selective in the bitches they accept, in terms of soundness and hereditary defects, and as the owner of a stud dog, ensure that the owner of the dam has the ability and the necessary facilities to successfully whelp, raise and assure the future well being of any resulting litter. They also have an obligation to assist the breeder as needed and/or requested.

7. As the owner of the dam, members shall ensure that the owner of the sire has the knowledge and experience to provide a safe and supervised mating, including the diligent care of the dam.

8. Members shall endeavour to breed dogs that are as free as possible from hereditary defects including Hip Dysplasia, eye disorders (which include Cataracts, PRA, Distichiasis and Entropian), bad temperament and structural defects.

9. Members shall ensure that at all times all dogs under their control are properly housed, fed, watered, exercised and receive proper veterinary attention, if and when required.

10. That excepting in extenuating circumstances, Members shall not allow any bitch kept by them or registered in their name to be mated before it is eighteen months of age. Thereafter Members shall not breed from any bitch kept by them or registered in their name more than twice in any 18-month period. Members will not breed any bitch kept by them or registered in their name more than four times without prior veterinary certification of fitness for further breeding.

11. Members shall not permit any pure bred dog owned by them or registered in their name to be mated to a dog of a different breed, to a cross-bred dog, or to an unregistered dog of the same breed.

SELLING OR DONATING 12. Members shall not sell or allow any dog to be sold to commercial dog wholesalers, retail pet dealers, or directly or

indirectly to allow a dog to be given as a prize or donation in a contest of any kind, or auction or allow to be auctioned any dog owned by them or registered in their name.

13. Members shall ensure that all persons acquiring dogs from them clearly understand their responsibility for the care and welfare of the animal, and that they have the time and facilities (i.e. adequate fences, sufficient room and proper shelter, etc.) to meet their obligations. The concept of a dog being a LIFETIME commitment should always be reinforced with the purchaser.

14. Members shall provide to all purchasers of dogs placed by them, written details of all dietary and immunisation requirements and/or an appropriate publication relating to such requirements and responsible dog ownership. Regardless of age, spaying or neutering of all dogs sold, as companions should be actively encouraged.

15. Members shall not sell or otherwise transfer from their care any puppy under eight weeks of age, thus allowing for vaccination to be given at six weeks of age, and the necessary ten to fourteen days for the vaccine to take effect. Members shall not export a puppy under the age of 12 weeks.

HONESTY IN REPRESENTATION

16. Members shall not knowingly misrepresent the characteristics of the breed, nor falsely advertise, or mislead any person regarding the performance of any dog, and at all times shall adhere to proper and ethical business practices when breeding, selling and placing their dogs.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS

17. Members shall not allow any dogs under their care to roam at large and when away from home ensure they are kept fully leashed, or under effective control, at all times.
