Welcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!

In this solutions-packed episode, Lauren is joined by amazing Pro Dog Trainer and separation struggles specialist, Michelle, to delve deep into the world of separation anxiety in dogs and unlock the secrets to helping all dogs overcome their anxiety and fear of spending time alone, while empowering both them and their owners to live their best lives possible, free from separation anxiety!


Is your dog struggling with separation anxiety, or maybe even a bit of FOMO? Fear not!

Join Lauren and Michelle to explore the vital strategies and practical tips that every dog owner needs to address separation anxiety effectively. We’re diving into the complexities of why dogs experience anxiety when left alone, revealing how we can transform their response using science-backed, games-based techniques. 

Whether you're dealing with a new puppy, a rescue dog with a troubled past, or an adult or senior dog suddenly displaying anxious behaviours, Lauren and Michelle share expert advice on how to create a supportive environment for your dog that nurtures confidence and independence.

Listen in to gain essential insights into how to spot the early signs of separation anxiety, the role of routines and predictability in easing anxiety in dogs, and how to gradually build up any dog's comfort and tolerance to being alone. 

Plus, Lauren and Michelle also discuss the common mistakes many owners make that can exacerbate canine separation anxiety and offer actionable solutions to help you ensure your dog feels safe and secure even when you're out of sight or away from home.

Tune in now for a journey into transforming fear into confidence, and discover the path to a happier, more balanced life for both you and your dog!
