Leaving a Corgi home alone for long periods can be devastating for the dog. Separation anxiety is common and its symptoms can show in a dozen different ways.

Here are some ways of beating separation anxiety and boredom:

Get a dog for your Corgi - it can help alleviate boredom.

Hire a dog walker - much appreciated by most dogs.

Doggy day care.

Make a cozy crate available and leave open.

Food puzzles/ sustained release of food.

Radio/tv - turn on the radio to melodic music; non-violent tv programmes.

Room with a panoramic view for visual enrichment.

Owner's article of apparel for comfort.

Rotation of toys - especially toys that move or are good to chew.

Exercise Corgi before owner departs is calming and mood-stabilising. 20-30 min of walking fast/romping.
