Dogs also suffer if they are left at home for a long time, if they are not taken for a walk, even to the nearest park, the square or any other place that allows them to do their physical needs (solid and liquid) and at the same time it means that they momentarily abandon their home.
They are sad sometimes, other times they are screaming or crying when the door is closed and they are left alone, we can also notice their disagreement with loneliness or confinement when we realize that he has broken whatever breakable thing he has achieved, another way is that the door has been scratched, they also urinate and defecate with more intensity or more times than usual, even the neighbors complain about the squeals or wailing of the dog.
What to do before these events?
The prudent thing to do before this sad reality is to minimize the time of canine solitude, trying to get people who take care of dogs, walk them and they take them out to relieve themselves, to share with other dogs, to sniff other places, to run, to feel free, in short, they make life more bearable and pleasant, in the end what you want is to make them the inevitable company.
There are valid reasons why it is inevitable to leave these little animals alone, one of them is the lack of someone to take care of them or keep them company while the owner attends work, fulfills his working day, must attend university, study center or has had some eventuality of a social, sporting or any other nature and he needs to be absent from home.
Another reason is that there is a lack of centers or sites that act as daycare centers canines while their owners are absent for the stated reasons.
What should be avoided as much as possible is that lapses of loneliness do not exceed more than 12 or 14 hours per day and that are not so frequent, because you could run the risk that the dogs get used to being alone and not be happy and grateful when their owners return home.
And if there is the case, that it has been left to care in a nursery or with a neighbor or friend, they can end up getting used to that friend or neighbor by the type of support, care and affection that they receive from them and this leads them to get used to them and therefore they will not want to return home.
Ideally, they could stay home alone and at the same time with a type of virtual companion who, from the office or from the place where the owner is, can provide them with a kind of company, either by speaking to them through some sound or video mechanism that they feel they are not alone, that they are accompanied and thus in this way they are kept under surveillance and assisted at the same time.
The loneliness of these animals can lead us in some cases that they are elusive, that they reject affection, that they do not want to receive food, they are reluctant, with a lack of appetite, giving signs of sadness and they only want to stay asleep and away in some corner of the house, so in this situation, it is advisable to go to the veterinarian or a specialist in the behavior of these animals and look for other alternatives in such a way that the dog feels loved and accepted by the family group to which it belongs.
Dogs just like humans they are vulnerable beingsThey like to share, be in a group, play, walk but always in the company of someone, either between groups of dogs or with the same human beings, in such a way that they feel protected, pampered, cared for, fed and above all they They understand that you belong to a family and that therefore they will be treated as one more member of the family.
