What they are, and how to slowly bring them back into your leaving routine so that your dog no longer gets anxious when you do pick up keys, put on coats and get ready to go out.

Is your dog fussy about eating?  Here I share some reasons why this may be happening, and also some hints and tips to get your dog into their dinners again.  And I'm not against Poodles - they are super intelligent and likely to get bored more easily with the same thing over and over again.   And once more, my pup is making her mark by dropping her antler chew on the floor to make loud bangs - she just wants to get into every episode!

We use food for almost every other type of training to reward our dogs for doing what we have asked, but in Separation Anxiety training, food is a hinderance, not a help.  Here I explain why.....

Despite my dog doing her best to disrupt me by squeaking a toy in my face, I talk about when to reward your dog, and do you always need to do this?  Do owners have to carry food in their pocket for every walk - well maybe not and even less so if your dog enjoys a tug game rather than food.  We do need to try and reward dogs for the best effort especially when we ask them to come away from a super exciting distraction.  

I've done my best to not giggle, lose track of my thoughts and ignore the noise from my Reprobate but may not have done as well as I had hoped!!! Life with a dog!!!

Many dogs have separation issues, but not all have anxiety.  What are the differences and how can I tell?  Here we discuss boredom, FOMO and separation anxiety, and the importance to find out what they have by setting up a camera to watch them.  It's the only way to tell what is going on behind that closed door.....

In this episode, we give a few hints to make it not so scary for our dogs.  Think doorbells, visitors, costumes, pumpkin and chocolate!  With a little bit of management and thought, all your family and dogs can have a good time during Halloween.
