Start very slow. Start by putting her into a room (front door is also a good idea), then closing the door (with you on the other side) then opening it real quick, then give reward. Do this over and over again, until the dog is ok with it, then lengthen the amount of time the door is closed, 10s, 20s, go very very slow, this needs to be a game for her. After a while you will get up into the minutes, a rule of thumb is that after 15 min you should be good for hours. The other thing you can do is crate training (just make sure its a good size that she can turn around in). This time you need to tie the door open and put treats into it for her, make it a game of going into and out of the crate, then you start closing the door for short amounts of time. Crate training is very handy for scared dogs, being confined to a small space comforts them and makes them feel secure. A lot of the time its the freedom in a large environment that they can't handle. Crate training in general is a good idea, in cases of emergencies. Something else you can do is give her Kong's and other treats that take time for her to eat, deal with, this gives her something to do and before long she gets past the initial problems of being left alone. Its also a good idea to combine all three of these. 1500 fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Nov 4, 2015 |
