Top 3 Ways to prevent boredom and reduce your pet’s anxiety
A return to school can spell separation-anxiety for pets who have gotten used to loads of attention over the summer months. As you prep the schools bags for back to school, we’re sharing our top 3 ways to prevent boredom and reduce your dog’s anxiety this September.
1. Comfort is key
Decide where your dog is going to spend his alone time and make sure it’s comfy and safe. Crate trained dogs will be happy to relax in their crate for a few hours of alone time, but during extended periods they will need space to stretch their legs.

2. Set an early morning routine
Your dog will be more likely to want to rest after some hearty exercise, so start an early morning exercise routine that will burn that morning energy.
Take them out for a regular walk or run before school time – and you’ll also get the benefit of an extra alarm clock every morning as they get used to early morning playtime.
