An expert in the field of dog behavior said that separation -related problems occur more often in pets, especially for those who are used to the company during the lockdown.

Amanda Sefton, 27, from Finchley travels three times a week with her Cockapoo Otis to the center of London, because the day of pets can be so expensive.
She has described the commuting at the puppy as a 'game-changer'.
She said: 'Pet Daycare is so expensive, so it is actually easier and more affordable to take my dog ​​to work. It is relatively easy for me to pack Otis for a trip to the office – I always make sure that I have treats, poop bags and water on me and keep it on my lap or stop between my legs before the trip.

'It is also not only an advantage for me – my colleagues are always happy when Otis comes in.
'He brings some lightness to a busy workspace, and I will often catch my colleagues and give him a quick hug or treat them between meetings or tasks.
'More than ever it is important that we have other methods to reduce stress and take breaks – what better way than a quick walk through the park in the sun with a puppy?
“The Pandemie saw such a tree for pets and people who want a company for the long hours at home – it makes sense that offices and travel open to meet that boom.”
Meanwhile, Marion Sinclair, from Deptford, takes Southeast London ruffs, her Cavapoo, Bobby, to explore new walking places.
“People should not worry about traveling with their dogs,” she said, “but clearer guidance would certainly make it easier and more pleasant for everyone.
'If you have a very friendly dog, people want to say hello, but people need help navigating through the unwritten rules around it. A little more clarity can really make a difference.
'Bobby likes to say hello to people on the train, and it is always surprising who responds. You could assume that certain people-as tough-looking men with tattoos would not go to a small downy white dog who gives them a hug, but more often than not, they do that.

'It is heart -warming to see how people melt a little and breaks down barriers in a city where we can all feel a bit isolated. When Bobby is approaching someone, looks at it and offers his version of a hug, they feel seen.
'It's a special moment – for them, for him and for me. That is one of the unexpected pleasures to take him on the train; It brings people together in the simplest but meaningful way. '
Dom Burke, behavioral officer at Dogs Trust, advises that for employees who want to go back to the office who are concerned about the impact of leaving their dogs themselves, they have to start early and gradually have to go.
He said that dogs leave alone for a short time and increase it slowly will help build their self -confidence.
Owners are also encouraged to take a long walk or a play session before they leave, because this will burn the energy of the puppies, which will help them to settle and take a toilet break.
Creating a reassuring environment is also encouraged, such as leaving fresh water behind, giving them a long-term chewing or puzzle toys, as well as a cozy bed.
It can also be a good idea to leave them with an item with the owners sent to make them insured.
He added: 'Keep things calm when you leave and when you return home – this is to manage the excitement of your dog, and although it is wonderful when we get a happy greeting when we get home, the overhead of the front door can lead to finding your dog difficult to wait home.
'Use background noise – Leaving the TV or radio on a low volume can offer a sense of company and reduce outdoor sounds that can be shocked.
“Arrange a check-in if necessary-if you are away for long hours, consider asking a friend, neighbor or dog lit to visit, to take with you for a walk or offer some company.”
