3 Things You Might Do That Stresses Your Dog 1 . Leaving them alone for a long time Separation anxiety or stress is common in young dogs who haven’t been left alone before. Separation anxiety affects very old dogs as well because they lose their ability to care for themselves. When you leave or return home, it shows up as persistent barking, destructive behavior, or howling. Some dogs may poop or pee inside the house. It’s not advised to leave your pet alone for more than 6 to 8 hours at a time until they’re used to it. Before you go, you should lock the doors and windows to prevent escape, make sure they have enough water and food, and leave toys for them to play with. You should also ignore them for about 20 minutes before leaving. When you return, do the same thing: don’t greet or pet the dog until they’ve cooled down. Then you’ll be able to spend some quality time with each other. 2. Taking them out with a very tight leash and not ever letting them run free It’s common knowledge
