Hi there, new to the forum , however looking to stay as I am an avid dog lover.
I have somewhat of a simple question and looking for some advice.
I have started a recent career which involves working away , a few weeks at a time. My dog actually lives with my parents, so he is used to that lifestyle, so there will be no drastic change other then the fact I will be gone for a weeks at a time. My dog is very attached to me, and I do not want him to have a hard time or become depressed while I am gone. Is there anything I can do to reduce any impact of longer term seperation anxiety ( a few weeks ) ? I can have my parents take him for drives, walks , etc and he has a few dog playmates. I have a harder time traveling, thinking on how my four legged friend could be sad at home waiting on me to return.
Any input would be great.
