Brand new research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) and The Dogs Trust has found that advising owners to remain calm during arrival and departures helps puppies adjust to being left of their own.

Some key findings from the study include:
- puppies rested more when alone if their caregivers departed and returned calmly
- puppies also rested more if owners regularly and gradually trained them to becoming accustomated to being further away from their caregivers
- puppies left alone with another dog showed fewer passive signs of anxiety

These findings provide valuable insights for veterinarians, trainers and puppy owners which can help to prevent separation-related behaviour problems.
