Don’t forget to prepare your dog for being by themselves again. Start today if you haven’t already with short periods of alone time or seeing you and not having access to you, such as through a baby gate. Build up so it will be no big deal being left home alone.

Also keep your return greetings very calm. Your dog will thank you! 😊
