Dog Moans Louldly When I Leave Home.
49 Answers
I use to work only on the weekends but recent life changes have convinced me to start doing it during the weekdays. I'll be gone 9 hours 4 days a week. Problem is right after I leave my 10 year old Basset Hound starts moaning doing it for hours on end. I don't really have anyone to hold on to the dog when I work. Anything I can do to ease her so she won't stress out?

Daft as it sounds, try leaving a radio on for your dog and see if that placates her while you're away from home. Mine used to yap for quite some time when i left for work but since i began leaving a radio on as background noise, my neighbours have reported a very welcome silence. I also leave an old cardigan of mine which he will cuddle up beside when i'm out. Mind you, if i'm out all day, my daughter comes to walk him around dinner time.
Not guaranteed to work, of course, but worth a try.

Just to put it into context, 9 hours means leaving the house at say 8am and being home by 5pm. It’s quite a long day but not that unusual folks.
I suggest a good walk before you leave, some treats inside a toy that take some time to find and the radio on.
If you can ease the dog into this lifestyle by leaving it for less time and building up, all well and good.
