Regressions for the Win

You are charging along with your separation anxiety protocol and have made considerable progress on a regular basis. You cannot believe that when you first started this process, Fluffy could barely be left alone for two seconds, and now you are able to leave for 17 minutes while she calmly hangs out. You could squeal […]

Observation Skills for Separation Anxiety

Observation Skills for Separation Anxiety

A call comes in and the harried woman on the other end of the line speaks rapidly about the recent excessive barking warning she received from her landlord about her dog, Clint.

Separation Anxiety and a Second Dog – Will it help?

March 9, 2017 by Lisa Lyle Waggoner

Separation Anxiety and a Second Dog – Will it help?

One of my recent separation anxiety clients asked me a common question during our initial call, “Will getting a second dog help?” My heart swells with appreciation for guardians whose dogs display separation-related anxiety. (There’s a technical difference between separation anxiety, when the dog is anxious when not in the presence of a specific person; […]

Crowdsourcing Alone-Time Alternatives

Crowdsourcing Alone-Time Alternatives

I hear it in your voice. I hear it in the deafening silence over the phone. That quiet desperation you feel upon learning that your dog cannot be left alone at any time for longer than she can handle during the training process. You feel the walls closing in around you, trapped in your own […]

Train Smarter, Train Better, Together with a Trainer

Train Smarter, Train Better, Together with a Trainer

One year for my birthday I bought an eight-week personal training package — a first for me. Having led an active life full of dancing, step aerobics, spin classes and hiking, I was unsure of what a personal trainer could do for me. But my workouts had become stale and irregular, I’d lost motivation and […]

It Takes A Village

It Takes A Village

Caring for a dog, any dog, can be a challenge. Puppies need constant attention and loving guidance to teach them how to behave.

Separation Anxiety: Two Truths and a Lie

September 7, 2016 by Casey McGee

Separation Anxiety: Two Truths and a Lie

The amount of folklore that surrounds separation anxiety in dogs is rivaled only perhaps by that surrounding aggression. As trainers, we’re reminded of the depth and breadth of this misinformation when we get inquiries from confused and frustrated dog owners who have followed well-intentioned advice with very few or bad results. As dog owners, we […]

When it Comes to Crates, Think Outside the Box

Most dog professional feel crates are a necessity when sharing your life with a dog. Crates can be a great management tool. They are helpful with a new puppy’s house-training routine.
