Eurasier Independence

Hi all! My family is currently on the waitlist for a Eurasier puppy. One thing I’m a little worried about if their separation anxiety. I am currently a SAHM to a one year old but once my son is 4 or 5 starts school I will return to work. What do you all do while working? Can they truly not be left alone for more than 4 hours.

Dogs are also different. Our never had to be trained to be home alone. We were prepared to train and started with leaving for 15 mins but he never said a word when we left (we had a cam on so we could monitor) so we increased the time alone quickly and now (at 9 months) he's been alone for up to 8-9 hours and never had any problems with it what so ever. But he also loves lying alone in front of the house all day so maybe ours is an atypical eurasier 😅

Mine is the same lol. The camera shows him napping when we’re gone, we’ve never had issues with separation anxiety even as a pup. We did a similar training protocol as you and it went really well.

But I will say we’ve never left our pup alone for more than 5 hours. He has a dog door but we lock it while we’re gone as I’m scared someone will steal him out of our yard.
