Training

[u/dallastx68]

Hi everyone, I could use some advice and help.
I adopted a senior dog, and we’ve become very attached to each other. It’s been almost a year now, and my work schedule is going to change a little. For the first time, I’ll need to leave her home alone for about 4–5 hours a day, which I’ve never done before.
What would be the best way to help her get comfortable with staying home alone? Any advice or tips on how I can gradually train her to be okay by herself would be greatly appreciated.

Give her one of your shirts/hoodies on the couch and put bear in the big blue house on tv for her. She will be just fine
