I just recently got a house with huge fenced in yard. My dog who is used to being watched ouside afraid be outside alone. What can do make him feel more comfortable and stay outside.?

1. Introduce your dog to the yard gradually**. Start by taking your dog outside for short periods of time and gradually increase the length of time as he gets more comfortable.

2.. Make sure the yard is secure and dog-proof**. Ensure there are no gaps in the fence or holes your dog could escape through.

3. Provide plenty of shade and water***. Dogs can quickly overheat in the sun, so make sure there are shady areas where your dog can cool down. Always have fresh water available.

4. Add interesting things to the yard**. Toys, balls and other activities can help keep your dog engaged and entertained outside.

5. Spend time outside with your dog** . Show him that you enjoy being in the yard and that it's a safe and fun place to be.

6. Train your dog to come when called**. This will give you peace of mind knowing that you can always get your dog's attention and bring him back inside if necessary.

7. Consider hiring a dog walker or pet sitter to check in on your dog**. If you're going to be away from home for an extended period, having someone come by to check on your dog can help to ease his anxiety.

8. Be patient**. It may take some time for your dog to get used to spending time outside alone. Just keep following these tips and eventually he will feel more comfortable.
