When I first started searching for books on how to treat my dog's separation anxiety, I was disappointed to find either books with outdated information, or books that were written a trainer audience taking on SA clients instead of an owner audience for those caring for SA dogs. IImagine being able to send a letter to your past self, filled with wisdom and advice about the challenging road ahead with a dog who has separation anxiety..This rule is all about setting a 2-minute limit for a task. It might seem weird, but doing this surprisingly motivates us to continue beyond that short time limit. One of the hardest things I ever have to tell anyone is that to get their dog over separation anxiety, they need to find ways not to leave their dog in the meantime. We’ll explore the myths, misconceptions, and misinformation that often circulate online, and how they can confuse and derail us when trying to help our pups.

We’ll also dive into how understanding dog body language is crucial in identifying dogs’ discomfort or fear. Planning a getaway and worried about how a routine change will impact your dog’s separation anxiety, especially if you’ve been investing time in separation anxiety training?

Join me for an inspiring and informative episode where I interview Jenni Pfafman and Amanda Dwyer. Jenni and Amanda are on the board of the Humane Alliance of Rescue Trainers (HART) a non-profit organization that connects shelter and rescue organizations with credentialed, professional trainers. Our focus? The use of punitive approaches in dog training, and in particular the problems associated with punishment. Karolina has identified 20 major pitfalls linked to punishment (she says there are likely even more!), and, in our discussion, she highlights some of the key issues. Well, I’m passionate that it is a worthwhile endeavor. Admittedly, while the gradual exposure method works for most dogs, there are some dogs that do not respond to this type of training and never recover from separation anxiety. I do get how impossibly hard this can be, though. I wouldn’t suggest it if there were any other way. And in this interview we talk about how those trainers help adopters who’ve taken on a dog who can’t be left alone.

Remember, separation anxiety training isn’t about instant gratification. It’s a long-term investment for your dog’s wellbeing (and your wellbeing too!). Which is why I love the Two Minute Rule: it helps us manage our motivation for training sessions and conquer feelings of procrastination. I’m not in that thing, I’m in the cloud.’ This crisis leads New Ash himself (a tremendous piece of upselling) to recommend to Martha that she goes one crucial step further and makes or rather ‘grows’ him a body under his directions. At this point, the production seems to imply we have shifted from the merely creepy to the possibly illegal, but this is never explicitly discussed. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the world of social media and its impact on our understanding of separation anxiety in dogs.
