Right now my pup Cyrus (7 mo.) is lucky--I'm a stay-at-home mom with a toddler, and my husband works from home, so Cyrus is almost never alone. (Without people, that is. We have another dog and 3 cats, so he's never truly alone in the house).
I'm just wondering if we should make the effort to get out of the house more often to get him used to being by himself, since our lifestyle may change in the future when my daughter goes to school? I don't want to set him up for separation anxiety later in life. I know it's a problem most people would love to have--too much time with their dog! But it actually takes some planning for me, my husband and kid to go out on our own.
am I overthinking this? Currently the animals are alone maybe a couple of hours a week.
