E4: Leaving your dog alone

Leaving your dog alone is often treated as something simple: a life skill they have to learn, a routine part of everyday care. And yet, the moment of closing the door rarely feels simple.In this episode, we talk about the seconds before departure, the quiet shift in the room, and what lingers once you are gone. The anticipation before departure. The guilt and projection that can follow once you are out. The behaviour we monitor, interpret, and sometimes misunderstand when we come back.We reflect on attachment, training, routine, and the difference between visible quiet and genuine coping. What looks settled is not always the same as what is felt.
