So, if you think separation anxiety training is actually making your dog clingier and more on edge tune in to find out what to do. 

There really is no evidence to this. And in fact, suddenly forcing your dog to sleep elsewhere could make things worse. Check out this episode where I explain exactly why.

Sadly this advice is often misguided, and doesn’t work for most dogs.

In this week’s podcast I explain why food fails. And I’ll also give you a specific example where good can be useful.

I've heard some chatter recently that separation anxiety training is unethical and inhumane. The argument goes that dogs are such social creatures that training them to be alone is cruel. Well, it's not. People have to go out. Dogs need to be able to cope with that.  What is actually unethical is NOT giving them the skills they need to be okay with inevitable alone time. Tune in to find out more.

It can seem really confusing when your dog will sleep all night in a crate but when you try to leave your dog in a crate when you go out he loses it. And that's why I both love and hate crates. In the right context, at the right time, they are amazing tools. But how can we work out when it's right to use a crate and what do we do when crating goes wrong? Listen to find out.
