Have you been told that if you depart and return to your dog howeling that it will reinforce the behaviour ? It's true in most cases that focus on behaviour like demanding barking over wanting more treats, but with with separation anxiety it's a total myth as they're responding to a fear and anxiety, which is an emotional response to you leaving and you can't reinforce an emotion.

Let me know in the comments below if your dog cries when you depart! And check out the full video on our youtube channel at the link below!

Have you ever been told that you should give your furry best friend a kong prior to departing to help solve their separation anxiety ?

I definitely was told that, but that is furthest from the case and it can have little to no impact on your furry best friends comfort level when you do depart. In this short I explain one of the pitfalls. Check out the full video on our Youtube Channel to learn more!

Have you heard someone tell you that fixing your furry best friend’s separation anxiety can be solved by getting another furry companion, so they won’t be alone when you leave ? This sadly doesn’t work in most cases making it a fallacy, and if it does work there are pitfalls to be aware of that can cause you further headaches in the future, making it a band aid solution. In this video I discuss and explain why! If you have a question please feel free to comment below!

There is a common myth that many pawernts believe to be fact, that giving your dog proper amounts of exercise will cure your furry best friends separation anxiety. That is furthest from the case and I explain why in this video and elborate futher on my Youtube channel at the link below. It's 100% apart of the solution but isn't the end all be all cure.

The Hardest aspect in life and in dog training is being consistent. In this video Max explains why that is, how we can avoid the pitfalls and the importance of breaks, so that we can help our furry best friends be the dog that understands our cues and help us have the dog we have always wanted.

Hi Pawernts & Pawfriends,

It's that time of year again, I'm another year older and it's time to give back to my favourite chairty Toronto Humane Society.

This year I'm raising $2,000 dollars for them to help take care of all their furrybest friends in their facility until they find their forever home.

This years initiative is called

If you donate you will be entered into win one free training lesson ( one per person), and I will be hosting a live Q&A on Instagram live on a date to be determined on the Lieberdog channel, so keep your eyes peeled out for the date.

On top of that, if we hit the $2,000 dollar mark I will face my fears of heights for our pawfriends as you can see from the video I absolutely hate heights ( but I'm fine with flying some how). Anyways I will do the CN Tower Edge Walk for all of you sadists out there.

So here is what I need from you, share this post with your friends and family and donate to the cause at the link below, if you dare ;).
