Ok, so I saw it on a tv commercial, but I had to ask. They said playing peekaboo with a baby/toddler teaches it that you will always come back. So I'm thinking, why not with a doggy?

Anybody have an opinion about this? Any moms know if this is actually true with babies?

I've been trying it with Jemma and Boo by hiding behind a wall and drifting out, making eye contact and then disappearing again... Jemma goes nuts barking and then she tries to find me. Boo, who has had pretty severe separation anxiety, he ignores me but I can tell it bugs him. He ignores me for everything- his game is to try to prove to everybody that he doesn't need anybody, so I'm getting better at reading his ignores...

Any thoughts?

Maybe if we all did this a few times a day, our doggies would have less separation anxiety? That is, if it actually works...
