When their people go back to work full time, could it cause behavior problems?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the big question. Research and experience tell us we will see an uptick in separation anxiety cases. Most dogs are very social and attached to humans; if they get used to us being around 24\/7 and we\u2019re suddenly not there, it can be very distressing for them. I think most will adjust, though they may not like it as well. But the concern is that some will not be able to cope.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-style-offset\" style=\"grid-template-columns:47% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Atti-Me-C-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Pamela Perry with a black and white dog.\" class=\"wp-image-1236 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Atti-Me-C-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Atti-Me-C-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Atti-Me-C-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Atti-Me-C.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Dr. Pamela Perry with a canine companion. <em>(Photo provided)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>How can owners best prepare their dogs for their return to work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My main recommendation is to prepare them for it gradually. Do what we call \u201cgraduated departures\u201d\u2014go on more outings without the dog, starting out short and then for longer and longer periods of time. That will help transition the dog to being home alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What other steps can owners take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m a huge proponent of enrichment. The more dogs are engaged with something\u2014such as chewing on a frozen Kong toy filled with peanut butter, or having to work to get their breakfast out of a puzzle ball\u2014the less likely they are to worry, \u201cWhen are they coming back? I don\u2019t have anything to do! What am I going to do?\u201d Keeping them focused on appropriate behaviors can reduce stress when they\u2019re alone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Short of finding your house trashed or having neighbors complain about whining or barking, how can you know if your dog is miserable when you\u2019re gone?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most useful tools is to monitor them remotely\u2014and with today\u2019s home security cameras, that\u2019s a lot easier than it used to be. Check to see if the dog is pacing, whining, and looking forlorn, especially during the first 30 to 45 minutes after you leave. As you leave for longer periods, watch them closely on the webcam and try to return before the dog gets distressed. That way you can avoid damage to your home or major distress for the animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If these dogs weren\u2019t crate trained because everyone was home, is it too late?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, but for an animal who already has separation anxiety, I don\u2019t recommend it. Some get worse when they\u2019re confined\u2014they feel trapped, which makes them more anxious. They can be destructive, trying to get out of the crate and injuring themselves. If the dog doesn\u2019t have a history of separation anxiety and you want to crate train them, that\u2019s fine. But again, do it gradually. And don\u2019t just crate them when you\u2019re leaving; do it when you\u2019re home. You want the crate to be more a safe area than a place of confinement when they\u2019re left alone\u2014because then the crate becomes an evil thing to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Animals who have never been left alone tend to have a more difficult time adapting to, &#8216;Where is everyone? We used to be one big happy family, and now you\u2019re leaving me?&#8217;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There has been much talk about \u201cpandemic pups\u201d\u2014dogs adopted during COVID, because people were home and it seemed the perfect time. Will they face special challenges?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puppies in particular weren\u2019t able to socialize properly because of the lockdown. And if they miss the sensitive period of socialization between about four and 14 weeks of age\u2014and that entails not only meeting new people and dogs, but also going to new places and having new experiences\u2014they\u2019re going to have a harder time coping with unfamiliar situations. And overall, I do think that animals who have never been left alone tend to have a more difficult time adapting to, \u201cWhere is everyone? We used to be one big happy family, and now you\u2019re leaving me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What about cats? To judge by Internet cartoons, they can\u2019t wait for us to leave them alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some kitties can be stressed by having us home all the time because they don\u2019t get a chance to chill out by themselves. Others, however, enjoy having unlimited access to us; we\u2019re like a 24\/7 convenience store for food, play, and attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Many people don\u2019t live near a veterinary behaviorist. Can they consult their regular vet on these issues? Could drugs help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going to your veterinarian is a great start, to make sure there\u2019s not something else going on; a proper diagnosis is important. And there are two FDA-approved medications for treating separation anxiety in dogs, both of which can be very effective. But you need to do a lot of behavioral management as well. Medications should not be used in isolation, but concurrently with a treatment plan that includes behavioral modification and managing the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Given the potential problems, are you worried there will be a spate of pets surrendered to shelters?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, that is a concern. It\u2019s these behavior issues that so often put animals into shelters\u2014although most can be addressed and managed. We need to get the word out that there are options and ways to help. That said, people have to be committed, because with behavior issues, it\u2019s not a quick fix. The behavior didn\u2019t start overnight, so we\u2019re not going to fix it overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any other advice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being patient is so important. Remember, animals can be just as stressed as we humans have been. People are happy to finally be getting back to a more normal life pattern\u2014but that may put undue stress on pets. So the more you can prepare, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Top image: Illustration by Cornell University.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Published October 5, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Pamela Perry\u2014a canine behavior expert and &#8220;triple Red&#8221; alum\u2014offers advice on transitioning your four-legged friends back to work life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":1325,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"alumni_hub_syml_posts":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[225],"tags":[],"cornell_year_post":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-the-expert"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Ruff Going&#039; with Your Pandemic Pup?
