Crate training is very popular advice for dogs who struggle with alone time…but I’m here to tell you that we don’t need to resort to shutting a dog away as a solution to the problem!
I am not against crate training, they definitely have their uses and can be a great tool! HOWEVER, when it comes to separation anxiety, a crate as a solution just doesn’t make sense.
The dog is unhappy being alone or separated from a specific human….how does popping them in a crate address this issue?
For long term results of having a dog who is content home alone, we need to work on the root cause of the problem and re-write the script for our dogs…..that home alone time is safe and not scary.
