Mythconceptions Series ... Part 4: Let Them Bark It Out

In this week's episode of Tails From The Dog House: Separation Anxiety Explained, myself and Stacey, from Focused Fun in the US, continue our "Mythconceptions" series.

We talk all about some very old-fashioned advice relating to "letting your dog bark it out". And we discuss why this is inappropriate and why it rarely works.

You can see us in action on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTm-0btK9yk) Or listen to the podcast on my website ~ nessjones.com (and all good listening apps).

Meanwhile, we are always looking for topics to discuss around separation anxiety on the podcast so If there is a particular one you have in mind, drop me a line and let me know!

AND ... if you would like to learn more about my services and how I can help you, make sure you jump on my website, nessjones.com, and book a FREE (yes, free!!) 30-minute Zoom call to discuss.
Thanks again!

PS I have some exciting news coming up so watch this space!

The Blame Game: In this week's episode of Tails From The Dog House: Separation Anxiety Explained, myself and Stacey, from Focused Fun in the US, continue our "Mythconceptions" series, this time talking about the victim blaming that can sometimes go hand-in-hand with having a dog with separation anxiety. And guess what ... it's NOT your fault your dog has separation anxiety - no matter what someone tells you.

You can see us in action on YouTube (just look up the name oooh and make sure you subscribe!!). Or the podcast on my website (and all good listening apps)

Another two great speakers today -- can't believe it's Day 9 already for the Decoding Your Canine summit.

Dr Holly Tett), a psychologist and professional dog trainer, talks us through those times where, as a pet parent, we feel overwhelmed and challenged, and what we can do to resolve this. It was such a useful conversation and really a must watch for anyone struggling with their dog's behaviour and how to cope when you are feeling down or frustrated.

Holly will also be joining me for a Facebook live in the summit group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/decodingyourcanine) on Thursday morning (July 21 at 7.30am Australian Eastern Standard Time - AEST). This will be Wednesday afternoon or evening in the northern hemisphere depending where you are in the world. So make sure you join the group and ask any questions for Holly you may have.

The other speaker is Sara Carson of America's Got Talent fame who talks us through tricks, why we might use them and how to go about it to supercharge your dog's mental stimulation and behaviour!

If you haven't joined the summit, there's still time to register - link is in the comments

The amazing clinical psychologist Birgit O'Sheedy who is a specialist in holistic health, a coach and a professional dog nerd, has a very very important message for any dog lover - how to cope with the loss of your best friend.

Yes ... I did tear up during this interview. It will tug on your heartstrings but it will also lift you up too 💖💖💖

‎Show Tails from the Dog House: Separation Anxiety Explained, Ep Medication & More: With special guest Dr Chris Pachel - 6 Apr 2022

22/04/2022

Chase: Talking in class. I mean literally will not shut up. Teacher avoids letting her answer questions because she Always.Has.Her.Paw.Up!!

Mr Big: A bit of a jock and doesn't want to learn anything really. Finds classrooms BORING! Spends a lot of time gazing out the window wishing he was on the sports field chasing balls.

Big Bertha: Class troublemaker. Spends a lot of time standing in the corner facing the wall. Or she would do if she stayed still long enough. Back chats the teacher constantly and is incredibly disruptive getting in everyone's face, pulling tails and rolling balls down the rows of desks. Actually a good student. Report card reads: "Could try harder"

Birdy is a holistic psychologist who specifically helps dog owners .... this episode might be something you need to hear

Dang...this episode was difficult to do, despite being a room full with friends who love me dearly.

In the latest episode on the The Canine Paradigm I talk about personal details of how to honour and make the very tough decisions on how to say goodbye to your beloved pet.
Also, don't forget we have the workshop coming up in a few days that helps you mentally, spiritually and behaviourally prepare for the loss of your dog.

USE CAUTION WHEN CHOOSING A FLEA & TICK PREVENTIVE FOR YOUR PET! ⚠️🐶🐱

Popular flea, tick and Heartworm🦟 products have a history of being associated with reactions in some dogs and cats including seizures, behavioral issues, muscular/balance issues, and even death.

One class of these pesticides Isoxazoline (found in products like Nexgard, Bravecto and others) is so powerfully potent that it starts killing within two hours after administration! 🤯 In fact, it kills 98.7% of fleas within 24 hours! Because of this, Isoxazoline drugs now carry a warning⚠️ on their labels in both the U.S. and Canada.🇺🇸🇨🇦 Even the FDA-U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning statement for veterinarians and pet parents. 👩🏻‍⚕️

If you need to use a chemical preventive, or if you are looking for safer alternatives, you don’t want to miss today’s Inside Scoop Live episode at noon!

We’ll be discussing natural options, how to know if you really need Heartworm preventives year round, and supplement protocols to help support your pet if you have to give these pesticides. 🙌

Today Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Becker are joined by special a guest co-host, veterinarian Dr. Judy Morgan D.V.M for this flea, tick and Heartworm extravaganza. We’ll also be covering:

🔥Non-chemical, natural prevention and integrative protocols

🔥What to look for and what to avoid when choosing a chemical pest preventative

🔥 Detox and support protocols when you are giving chemical preventives

…plus our Flea, Tick & Heartworm Guide full of DIY recipes, supplements and more! 📖

Join us Sunday at 12pm ET for this Live discussion. Looking forward to seeing you in the comments! 🙌

Well boy ... do I have some exciting news!!

Firstly, myself, Stacey Carstens Bell and Sarah McLaren were incredibly fortunate to chat with vet behaviourist (behaviorist if you are in the US!) Dr Chris Pachel this week for our podcast Tails From The Dog House: Separation Anxiety Explained.

Dr Pachel is an absolute rockstar within the world of vet behaviour and has so much to offer the pet population.

It's a long conversation (two hours!!!) but a very worthwhile one for anyone with a dog with separation anxiety.

Dr Pachel is not only a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists (DACVB), he is also a Certified Animal Behavior Consultant (CABC). Dr Pachel works out of the Animal Behavior Clinic, in Portland, Oregon, in the US.

You can listen to the podcast at nessjones.com or on your favourite listening app.

But in even more exciting news, since we appreciate podcasts aren't for everyone, I have also just hit publish on a new YouTube channel ... called ... you guessed it ...

If you have a puppy and are concerned at all about separation anxiety, then you NEED to listen to the latest episode of Tails From The Dog House: Separation Anxiety Explained.

Okay Okay ... I haven't hit publish yet so just keeping you in suspense 😂

I do this weekly podcast (available on all good listening apps) with two other separation anxiety specialists, Stacey Carstens Bell from Focused Fun in the US and Sarah McLaren from Separation Anxiety Solutions in the UK, but in our latest episode, we are joined by Jessica Ring from My Fantastic Friend as we talk about all things puppies.
