If my dog is napping and I leave the room, she will come out looking panicked searching for me. When she sees I'm still home, she visibly relaxes, turns and goes back to bed. It's cute, but I feel really bad for her.
Same here, 3 yr old Goldendoodle who really makes us feel guilty when we leave home and we rarely do!
Mine too
I understand your feeling, when my 2 dogs know we are getting ready to leave for a couple of hours I can see the sadness in their eyes. S
Our nearly 2 years old cockapoo hasn’t been left in the house by herself for over 2 hours😢. Daughter luckily can take her to her office and if she can’t she get left with our parents or family members. Even if we leave her at 8am 11:17 we all won’t be back after 5pm😢
You are very right! Mine exhibit dreadful anxiety when I leave. Upon my return I´ve encountered they have hurt each other.
That's why I always have two dogs at a time. They might miss ME, but they won't be alone.
it helps!
That's exactly why we always have at least two dogs. They keep each other company. But truth be told, I think that I probably miss them more than they miss me when I'm away. 😢
Agree. We rescued 3. Vet bills can be expensive but can't live without dogs.
I've always had two dogs but this last year I experienced the unexpected early loss of a dog and the remaining one going through the grieving process (which I still not sure he is over so many behaviours have changed) now I am not sure what is better or worse there are pros and cons for having 1 dog and leaving them or having more than 1 dog so they have company.
Agree but then you have the mourning dog when their friend is gone. It’s painful to watch them, can get a new dog but at times that doesn’t help, they want THEIR friend and eventually your own circumstances may not be possible to get another one.
Every time that I come home, wether I was gone a short or long time, my dog has taken my pillow that i sleep on into the lounge room floor or by the bay window where she keeps lookout for me. I guess my smell on the pillow comforts her and maybe even lays on it each time. She has done this from the time she was a pup.
Recently, several times in a row I was in a rush when I left my little yorkipoo at my friend and/or sister’s home for a couple hours to run an errand or go to church. Upon return I was told she was noticeably distressed and unsettled while I was gone. This was surprising since these two places are her very favorite places and people to visit. Upon reflection I realized I didn’t say goodbye and tell her I would be back before I abruptly left. Since then I make a point of letting her know I was going out but emphasized I would be back, which I always did/do when I leave her alone at home. Now, when I do so at another’s home she calmly watches me leave and has a fun and relaxed visit until I return. She’s so smart and affectionate….I love my little buddy.
My dog is a tiny 16 y/o Chihuahua. He's just sleeps and not capable of too much anymore so his world doesnt make sense without me because I've been his entire world for 16 years
❤
I have 2 Chihuahuas that are 14 years old, I rescued them when they were 3 n 6 months old so I'm there mom. There my world I love them so much n I know they love me! I'm 76 n there with me 24.. 7 they sleep with me there just my world ☺️😊☺️😊
DOG'S ARE ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD SHOWING OFF ❣️❣️❣️
Dog is God spelt in reverse.
I reckon they look out for us. It's a big job.
I’m a new dog owner so it’s really awesome to see. I was there when my pup was born and hand fed her because she the runt. Things were very rough at first but at 10 weeks now she’s so smart and already at like 20 commands. I love that girl with my whole heart 😂😭 I used to be skeptical but I now know that there are really no bad dogs… just owners who misunderstand their companions. They make everyday an adventure.
It’s so amazingly quick how they can wiggle into your hearts ! 😊
Get her a female companion doggie
I puppy sit for my best friend sometimes and pupper always look out the windows when she leaves. When she doesnt come home at the scheduled times, Sky start to whine. Though after a few minutes after she leaves in the early morning, Sky gets in bed with me for cuddles.
we really don't prefer to leave our dog alone AT ALL aand she's not she's always with someone whether it's one of us, our son, or even my mother in law. not bc she has behavioral issues or anything, but bc we treat her as if she's our child, like our toddler that never grows up. is that unhealthy that we give her too much love and attention?? even if it is were not gonna stop. she deserves the world🤷♀️
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now..
Do even if it's unhealthy for your dog, you would still do it? Sounds like you're not a caring owner if you would purposely hurt ur dogs' health
They have a verry different response to you coming home depending on their expectations. We used to have a Golden Retriver. We lived in the city centre. Both I and my partner worked within a few minutes walking distance from home. The routine we put in place was that I came home for lunch first. I heated and ate my food. I then heated my partners food. She cama home and I went back to work. She would eat and then take the dog out for a potty break. After work I came home f8irst and took the dog out for a good walk. When I came home for lunch he did not really react at all. I was like air to him. He had no use of me as I did neither feed him or take him out. When I came hame after work he greated me enthustiasticly as he knew that I would take him out.
My supervisor has two small dogs at work, when she leaves I put on a Dog Anxiety and separation YT video and those really work, If I listen to it, I start getting sleepy. It truly takes the edge off the dogs.
I have a six-year-old Border Collie. When no one is home, he usually goes to a location in the house that comforts him.
Have 4, 3 Dobermans and a pit bull. All very spoiled, all have health insurance, and twice a week I cook for them. Usually hamburger & rice on Wednesday and rare steaks on Saturday. Treats are mostly human grade jerky and milk bone snacks. I'm retired so almost always home and they are not used to being alone. On those rare occasions, 3 of them are left out but still have to crate the 1 year old Dobie because she is still busy and will get into something. I can be gone for a half hour but when I get back you would think I was gone for a month. I hate crating her and feel like I just locked up one of my kids or something so try and not be gone long.
I work out of town sometimes and will drop my dog off at daycare. When I would hand her over it made me feel so bad leaving her there.
My 12mth old golden retriever who is normally a gentlie well behaved lovely dog throws the biggest destructive tatrums even if im only gone for a short time destroying anything paper, cardboard, pillows , couches and my mattress ripping them into shreds and hes not even left alone he has my 11 yr old jack russell for company who has never behaved like this and is cowering when i get home as she knows its naughty.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now..
We gave our dog treats when we had to leave. He wouldn’t eat them till we came home.
SAME WITH MINE!!!
Mine too! Does anyone know why this is?
Mine won’t drink water when I’m gone. Once I get home, they really gulp it down before going out to potty. I don’t know why, but if I had to guess, I’d say since they don’t know when I’ll be back, they don’t want to be bursting & have legs double crossed trying to hold it.
I walk my dogs twice a day, I'm lucky to work from home. Walking around the neighborhood though, I see at least 5 different dogs who don't ever get walks. At least 3 of them live right across from a park 😥
SAME HERE!!!
I see a lot of dogs in my neighborhood stuck inside while I’m walking my 10month old lab, I tell him they’re barking at us cause they’re jealous that we’re outside walking and they’re stuck inside.
Unfortunately we all have to leave our dog's behind sometimes we can't always take them with us , even though I try too , it breaks my heart to leave them especially if I'm going out if town on a vacation and they can't come along
Great video! Thanks for posting it!
Good info, well done.
Thank you so much for this very informative video !! I truly learned a lot
My dog has separation anxiety he waits by the door or sits on the couch and runs to me when I come home
Thanks for this video
Most people simply shouldn't have dogs as they're away way to much.
I always let my Lenny know I'm going out and will be back soon. Yet my wife says she doesn't relax and when I get back it's all spins and wiggles...
They surely makes me feeling so guilty everytime when I go out without them. 😢😢😢
Don't feel guilty, just keep in mind that is no difference between a puppy and a kid, they know how to play with your emotions.
This pretty much covers every possibility of what they do while we’re gone.
I've planned for some time the possibility of creating a dog care and walking service. The most prominent reason is knowledge of a number of dogs I pass while on one of the number of walks my dog enjoys. I live in wythall, Birmingham and if you feel this service may benefit your beloved dog, it'd be great to hear from you. Regards Lee and Herbie.
Very nice
My dog Plato is very loveable, people friendly, Awesome dog 💯👍👍🔥💯
I really wish I knew what was going through my dogs head. When I leave she’s rearranged random objects in the house. She also will leave one piece of dog food in her bowl every single time she eats.
May I quote you? "No dogs are the same"... I wish I could read their mind Just spend quality time learning their likes and dislikes. Dont assume anything or expect something that they dont want to do. Dont confuse routine with real personality.
My dogs do ok if im leaving to go to work but they know when im leaving and NOT going to work… how is that?? So if im not working I don’t go anywhere unless they go with. None are crated and they have a doggie door and a huge back yard to play in while gone. And get to sleep on furniture or our bed when they please ❤❤❤

When they see suitcase!! 😢😢
We had a small dog that completely destroyed a whole couch one day while we were out!!!!

I raised a dog from a puppy and passed her on to my daughters family where she thrived every year I'd rub a sock on me and send it at Xmas time she always kept it as her sock according to my daughter.
I really feel bad to leave my Lhasa female whole day
My pepper even joins me at the hairdressers, golf , shopping, she doesent always want to go with , but she doesent want to stay home alone.. on hot days , she hides under the ushes in the garden, then i leave her there. I love my little mongrel to bits. ❤❤❤❤❤
Different breeds respond differently.
Dogas are just like us. Some handle seprteion well others do not. What separates us from them is most of them are "survivors" (e.g. dog looses owner to sickness but dog gets a good new home....a seen in many YT vieos the dogs look fine...some take a few days to get voer the sadness but they do usually eventualy carry on happy.....i guess stil they never forget the original owner...memories stored away. ..if htey had a good first owner they were close to and had good times. .........if hte owner was bad/abussive...i thinkt he dog gets over them fast...)... My Pug ha been more than smart enough to know i would return if gone for a few hours (e.g. shopping). No destructive behavor telling me he had no anxiety. or resentment for not taking him with me.
I have a 4 month chocolate lab. Our schedule works so someone home or we take her with us. She only spends 4 hrs in the kennel
My rescue dogs prefer the kennel when I'm at work. Would it be better for them to leave the kennel door open so they can come and go from it while I'm at work. Soon, i will be able to work from home two days a week. I'm just working through my probationary period before i can work from home. My husband also is home most days 2-3 hours before I am.
Of course leave the kennel door open. I would never put my dog in a kennel, it's a prison. Allow your dog free reign in the house. Please.

The video cams help to disspell the mystery.
What dog breed is the one at 2:15? My doggo looks just like them but I don’t know what breed he is! 😭
It might be a husky x malinois Belgian Shepard . I guess but I think that’s it
My zeus missed me when I was away
I taught my Aussie "bye bye". I say 'bye bye" when I leave and "Good bye bye" when I return. A little treat or an ear scratch and she is just fine. She has learned that I'm leaving and sees it as something that happens from time to time. I love my dog but I find it important for her to learn her own sense of security and frees me up to have a life knowing my dog is well adjusted and capable of handling my being gone. REMINDER : Train your dog from the beginning and reinforce that training throughout their life. The smarter the breed the easier it (may) be.
I used to have a dog who cried like a human and howled when I wasn't around.
I thank you for your words! Hope you enjoyed the video~~❤️❤️
boy do i got a movie for you about this stuff
They feel like. Why are you leaving. I don't want to be alone. I want to come also. Can I come.
It.s what the neighbours feel .everytime
Hachiko is proof that dogs missed their owner's absence.
Dogs that have been trained consistently according to the principle of natural hierarchy know that the highest ranking, the alpha, is free to come and go at any time. They behave calmly during the time the alpha is absent and wait for his return.
No, dogs are not stupid. They are smart enough to be scared or petrified to differing degrees..... that my leader/human, the one who feeds me and cares for me will not come back
When I leave for a awhile then returned a full of scattered things maybe they are glad it's their time to play scatter things 😂 n so glad u came back to clean their mess
I don’t know about dogs but my cat gave me dirty looks when I would leave
I should have taken Hooch to work with me.
You can. Just register Hooch as a support animal. It's done at my work.
Dogs fall in love with us
Hi Country Got Problems Too Bad
Mines are trained to act better than many so called human being. ❤
I hear my dog when I am gone. He never sleeps or eats while I am away. He howls and wimpers. I leave a voice activated FRS and carry another.
It makes me feel guilty
Mine doesn't eat when I'm gone,,,not even to drink water,,,I don't know why 😢😢
Same:(
same 😢
Same
Because they don’t know when their next potty break is. When I’m home, my dog goes out and pees often. When I am not home he can hold it for quite a long time.
Mine won’t even eat his favourite treat when we leave. It’s like he goes into a coma until we get back.
Crating a dog is such an abusive treatment. People who do this ... shouldn't have a dog.

Dog need activites at home. playtime or work.
Another AI KZhead channel. Script is GPT generated and that voice sounds like AI too.
They do not miss us when we are gone. They are pack animals, and when their pack disappears (humans), it makes them fearful. Stop pushing human emotions onto dogs!!!
"they won the lottery win you return" , that's all dogs want , You ‼️‼️
What this video suggests is that dogs are capable of experiencing complex human emotions such as love, and missing someone based on this one study?
It's an AI generated script. I recognize all the language patterns.
Worst part of dogs....are their life span, they can make a huge hollow in ur life, beware of them😢
we never leave the house, there's always someone there
Dogs have Terrible memories! How many times do dogs bury bones only to forget about them forever? 98%
You have no clue what they feel so stop pretending!
The moral of the video is you are worst than Satan if you ever leave your house when you own a dog. That is why I have the deceny to order everything online and work from home. 👍
You have no clue what a dog feels. This is insane. Lol
Stop it
i feel bad abt the animas i eat .ha
No dog shut be alone if you have no time you shut get non
Theres no mystery!! Its cruel to leave them alone!! They are pack animals.
Every domestic dog has rabies
So does your mum
Showing a dog on a chain is terrible.
my dogs are so lazy they sleep 20 HOURS and at night they terrorize ME..I sleep one 4 hours.....a need a VACATION😂😂❤
