Preventing separation anxiety in puppies involves gradual desensitization to being alone, creating a positive association with alone time, and providing mental and physical stimulation. Start by leaving your puppy alone for short periods and gradually increase the time. Use toys like puzzle feeders or interactive toys to keep them occupied. Make departures and arrivals low-key to avoid creating anxiety. Consider crate training as a safe space for your puppy. Provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to tire them out before leaving. Consider leaving an item with your scent to comfort them. Seek professional help if the anxiety persists.
