Many dogs are afraid of loneliness. Despite this, some owners often have to leave their pets alone at home.

There is no other way out: you need to go to work or school, shop in stores, go to various meetings and courses.

A four-legged friend left alone in an apartment may start whining and barking loudly.

And this is quite understandable: the animal is in a state of stress.

How can you ease your pet's anxiety? Fortunately, there is one simple way.

What thing should be used?

Take an old sweater. You can use a worn-out sweater, a sweatshirt, a sports jacket, or any other thing that you won’t mind throwing away later.

Use this item of clothing as home clothes for at least 4-5 days. The product should be “saturated” with the smell of your body.

Then remove the item and place it in a thick and durable pillowcase. Sew up the last item.

The result will be a kind of pillow, which you should give to the dog right before leaving the apartment.

What is the trick?

It's very simple: as we know, dogs have a well-developed sense of smell.

The pillow, inside which the clothes are located, will “smell like the owner” for a long time for your four-legged friend.

The pet will smell the person who is important to it. That is why the animal will not be so worried and anxious.

It is possible that for a long time the dog will think that the owner is still in the apartment.
