How can I stop my dogs from getting anxious when tied up at the park?

Question

hello, sometimes when I take my daughter to the park, I want to bring our pomeranian and italian greyhound too, so they can get some fresh air and stimulation. as soon as I tie them up though and step away, they freak out. any suggestions?

Is there a reason you can't walk around with them at the park? If you're tending to your daughter on the playground, it may be best to skip bringing the dogs and instead just schedule outings where you can walk around and keep an eye on the dogs and your daughter at once. Otherwise, your pups may think they're being abandoned, or if left unattended may injure themselves or others if stressed out. If you must leave them, practicing long-distance wait and stay commands, and rewarding them for calm behavior with a favorite treat (before you start going to the park) may help with their anxiety and teach them that it's OK and rewarding to wait once in a while.
