Tomorrow is Monday and for many it means back to work. If your fur kid has a hard time letting you go in the morning here are some tips that may help.
Change your routine. If your fur kid knows that you are going to walk out the door right after you put on your shoes, try putting them on earlier in your routine. Seeing you put your shoes on and not leave will decrease you fur kids' anxiety.
Give them something to do right before you head for the door. Toss a toy for your cat to chase or give your dog a puzzle toy to work on. Distractions can be a great way to reduce stress.
If you normally make it a point to kiss your fur kid goodbye, Stop! the bigger deal you make of leaving the harder it is for the actually goodbye.
It may take a little while for you to get used to the change, but these tips should help. If you have other methods that work for you great! I would love for you to share them with us.
