• Initially do not lock cage door until pet is happy to use cage
• Do not force pet inside cage, or use cage as punishment.
• Once pet is happy using cage then can start to close door for short periods.
• Extend periods with door closed so that pet is used to cage door being closed while you are in the house. This way there will not be an association with you leaving when the door is closed.
• When pet is comfortable for extended periods with door closed you can leave pet for short periods, then gradually increase time spent away.

• When leaving or returning do not make a big fuss. Keep the fact that you come and go as low key as possible.
