• Practice visualization: Visualization is a powerful tool that can help dogs and humans alike to reduce anxiety and stress. Before leaving your dog alone, take a few minutes to visualize a calm and peaceful environment for your dog. See your dog happy, relaxed, and playing with their toys. Imagine them feeling safe and secure in their space. This visualization can help to transmit positive energy and emotions to your dog and help them feel more relaxed when you are not around.

• Use positive affirmations: Positive affirmations can help to promote a positive and calm mindset in both dogs and humans. Before leaving your dog alone, repeat positive affirmations such as “I am safe and secure” or “I trust that everything will be okay.” This can help to create a positive and calming energy that can help your dog feel more relaxed and at ease.

• Practice energy healing: Energy healing techniques, such as Reiki, can help to balance your dog’s energy and promote relaxation. Reiki is a form of energy healing that involves channeling positive energy to help balance the body’s energy and promote healing. To practice Reiki on your dog, place your hands on or near their body and visualize positive energy flowing from your hands to your dog. This can help to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
