My dog Jack finally stayed all by himself without becoming scared. He didn't claw up anything and didn't poo or anything.

He was a very good, well behaved doggie!

I've been telling him "be a good boy, I'll be back" everytime I leave him in the car. And whenever I leave the house while the DH is home. He finally believes me!

I hope it keeps up for more than 30-45 minutes! I'm going to leave him alone tomorrow while I go to PT. Oh, that reminds me, I have to make him a frozen Kong with something good inside.

Thanks all of you who gave me ideas on how to work with him. I'm so happy he isn't so anxious now.
Thanks for this!

Thanks everyone

I didn't get the opportunity to leave Jack while I went to PT because the DH invited him before he knew I had a plan! OH Well!

Today I'll try going out the door for a while to take the trash out and stay longer than it takes. But I think he is finally okay.
