Get your dog ready for a "return to normal"

For people who got dogs while working from home, the time to start helping them adjust to the post-pandemic world was yesterday, said New York City dog trainer Shelby Semel. Pandemic puppies and even dogs people had before the pandemic need to get adjusted to not having their owner around all the time. Semel told clients throughout the pandemic that it was important for them to find ways to give their dogs alone time, even if it meant putting the dog in a different room and closing the door.
