The change has to happen gradually. That's why Chong says the trick is to take things slow and steady.",[15,134,135],{},"\"Small increments, repeated often, is the whole method, rather than long stretches attempted too soon,\" she explains. \"I'll start owners at brief separations, a few minutes leaving the room or stepping outside, and only extend the duration once the dog is consistently settled at the length we're already at. It's slower than most owners expect going in, and that's usually the point where people want to skip ahead, but pushing the duration before the dog's ready is what causes a setback.\"",[15,137,138],{},"There's another part of this process that is crucial to do as well and, according to Chong, it is often overlooked by pet parents.

I only bring a PDQ back in once a dog's comfortable at a given duration, and even then one at a time, not all together. Stacking them back in too soon undoes the duration work, since a dog's suddenly handling several intensity triggers at once on top of a length they haven't actually built capacity for yet.\"",[15,143,144],{},"While it's a slow process, once your dog no longer reacts with panic when you pick up your keys or put on your shoes, you and your dog will both be happier and feeling good about your achievement.",[25,146,148],{"id":147},"what-to-doand-avoidwhile-youre-home","What to Do—and Avoid—While You're Home",[15,150,151],{},[32,152],{"alt":153,"height":154,"src":155,"width":37},"A dog spending quiet time with its owner at home.",801,"\u002Fpics\u002Fadf9558adc3d26f965a7.webp",[15,157,158],{},[41,159,153],{},[15,161,162],{},"Image via Getty Images\u002Felectravk",[15,164,165],{},"When treating a dog with separation anxiety, many parents go the extra mile to minimize any anxiety for their dogs while they're at home.
