lTuesday: ok...the first step then for you is...go over and put your shoes on...pick up your keys and walk to the door....DO NOT talk to the dogs,pet the dogs or in any way acknowledge them even being there....if they start whining or dancing around...there can be no..."oh,it's ok" or "be quite" NOTHING at all is to be said...ok???
Once you get to the door...turn around,hang your keys back up,take your shoes off and come back and sit down,if you were on the puter...come back to the puter and continue..if you are watchingTV,then go sit and watch tv...even AFTER you are sitting back down..the dogs wil still be anxious...please,please,PLEASE...still NO TALKING to or petting them,ok??
In about 5 minutes...repeat this process..same steps,same way...NEVER talking or petting them during the excersise.
You will need to do this...every 5 minutes...do it for about a half hour...then just stop and let them relax...only AFTER they are relaxed can you pet or talk to them...You need to do this excersise...maybe a TOTAL of 3 to say 7 times for every hour that you are home...I know this seems like alot...but TRUST me...this will work...it WILL NOT work the first time,or even after 5 times....might take a few days a week..but it WILL work ;)
Let me know after the first night of you doing it...lets say...about 20 times of working the routine...tell me if the dogs are settling any.
