Ever felt the pangs of guilt from a noise complaint because your dog couldn't bear to be alone? Join us as Alice shares her deeply personal journey with her rescue dog, Bonnie, a German Shepherd and Cane Corso mix. After an unexpected noise complaint, Alice navigated the tricky world of separation anxiety, balancing the need to mend neighbourhood relations with the well-being of her gentle giant. Her story of flexibility and adaptability in the face of community challenges offers invaluable insights for dog owners everywhere.

Discover the transformative power of technology and structured training methods in tackling canine separation anxiety and reactivity. With Bonnie's journey as our guide, we explore how cameras and training programs like Absolute Dogs played pivotal roles in understanding and improving her behaviour. 

Through Alice's experience, we emphasize the necessity of a calm and supportive environment, spotlighting how addressing emotional and physical health needs can dramatically enhance a dog's life. Bonnie's path, from potential euthanasia to stability and peace, underscores the profound impact of commitment and innovation in pet care.

Finally, we celebrate the strength in community support, which played an instrumental role in Alice and Bonnie's success. Alice not only acquired knowledge and motivation but also found support in what could have been an isolating journey. Her resolve and triumph over Bonnie's reactivity challenges serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration. 

Whether you're a seasoned dog owner or new to the world of dogs and dog training, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights and encouragement to forge stronger relationships with our best friends, and the dogs we share our lives with.
