In Episode 2.8, hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh unravel the mysteries of separation anxiety in dogs. Drawing from their extensive experience running the largest foster-based rescue in the Pacific Northwest, they discuss the significance of the human-canine relationship and offer practical approaches for resolving this widespread behavior problem. With anecdotes of 1% dogs (like Jenny's infamous Rolex), they delve into extreme cases, the use of high-security crates, training collars and corrections for deescalating neurotic behavior. It's a deep dive into understanding and healing your separation-allergic Houdinis!
