JGBehaviour Separation Anxiety Specialist

Variation is SO normal in separation anxiety training! Remember that! It’s hard and frustrating and it can make you feel like you want to give up. But remember it’s part of the process! If you need to take a couple of days off then get back to it when you’re ready, but try not to give up! You got this!!💪 #separationanxiety #dogbehavior #dogbehaviormodification #dogtraineruk #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #dogbehaviormodification

Why is leaving your dog with food in your Separation Anxiety Training not working? ➡️ This may just distract your dog and once the food has gone your dog then becomes distressed. Therefore, it does not give you a true baseline of how long your dog can cope for home alone. Therefore, no learning has taken place. In addition to this the order of events is wrong! If we want to change how our dog feels about something by pairing it with something good, the food should be presented after what we are exposing them to e.g you leave and the food is then presented! We can’t do this in Separation Anxiety Training unless you post treats through the letterbox😆… not recommended!! ➡️Some dogs won’t even eat the food due to becoming anxious home alone and ignore the food altogether! ➡️The food could become a pre departure cue if paired with being home alone if they are unhappy home alone. Therefore, your dog becomes anxious at the sight of that food toy as it predicts your about to leave To find out how our training works and the methods we use head to our website and download the free video and guide 📖 ➡️COMMENT “SA” and we will send you a link to learn more about our Separation Anxiety Training Hub 🙌 ➡️ OR book in a free call if you wish to discuss one to one coaching ☺️ Link in Bio🔗 #separationanxiety #separationanxietydog #dogbehaviourist #dogbehaviormodification #dogbehaviortraining #dogsofinstagram #dogtrainer #dogtraining #online #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingonline

✨DAY 11 of our top tips for teaching your dog to be Happy Home Alone!✨ Starting your Door is a Bore Training! Now the door is the biggest cue of all! So this is what we start with! It’s important we break down how we leave the house into the smallest steps possible and gradually work towards the door! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ✅ Before you train pick a break zone area ✅ Pick a time your dog is relaxed and ready to chill ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ➡️ Start with standing up and sitting down. Aim for 10 successful reps (or more) of your doing being relaxed! We don’t want any signs of anxiety and ideally we want your dog less alert to you doing this and becoming less bothered by it! This step is really useful for dogs who are sensitive to your movement! If your dog is successful at this stage your NEXT training session will be to progress further⬇️⬇️ ➡️ You will then build on gradually taking a few steps away towards your door (not all the way to the door just yet!). At the start of this session i advise you do a few “stand up / sit downs” to warm your dog up before moving into taking a few steps away from them. Aim for around 8-10 successful reps. *It can be really useful to also randomly add easy steps between e.g you may want to throw a random “stand up / sit down” in your session so your not always doing the same step. It is dog dependant on how many easy and harder steps we add into the sessions and this is just a generic guide* ➡️ Take 30-60 second gaps between the reps Watch out for the next few reels which will discuss the next stages of door is bore👌 🚀 We discuss all of this on our Separation Anxiety Training Hub. The hub will give you all the information on how to formulate your training plans!

Did you know that having your dog sleep near you, in your bed or lay on your couch will NOT contribute to your dogs Separation Anxiety! There is no evidence to suggest this! Do not listen to anyone that tells you otherwise! It’s absolute rubbish!!! Fuss your dog, give them attention and allow them to snuggle up to you if you wish!👌☺️ #separationanxietyindogs #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dogbehaviormodification #dogbehavior #dogbehaviourspecialist #dogsofinstagram #doglife

✨Chiefs Separation Anxiety Journey✨ I am SO proud of what these guys have achieved! The client has made fantastic progress!! ⬇️Here’s a little bit of history⬇️👀 Chiefs owner had been working on his Separation Anxiety with gradual exposure for many months before seeing us! He would make progress and then dip on his training and they could never get any consistency. We started with Chief and we noticed a few abnormalities in his gait so got him checked at the vets. They agreed and Chief had a plan put in place to help with any discomfort he had going on. However, we still was not making the progress we wanted, he couldn’t quite settle in his sessions for longer periods of time. Chief started behavioural medication which has been an absolute game changer!! The difference in how relaxed he is and how much he is coping with the training is fantastic! Finding the right approach for each individual takes a bit of time and patience! But when you get it right it’s amazing☺️ Chief has hit 1 HOUR this week! From a dog who couldn’t cope alone to this is amazing! We can’t wait to continue to watch him progress🙌🙌 Well done guys for sticking to the process!!🙌 If you need help with your dogs Separation Anxiety you can book a free call on our website or check out our training hub!

Did you know external noises and visual stimulus can affect your Separation Anxiety Training? 👀 ➡️ Visual stimulus can be anything your dog sees out for a window for example that causes a distraction. This could be people, dogs, birds, cars etc etc! If this does affect your dog and it affects their ability to settle alone, then think about closing curtains or blinds. If you have a dog that will sneakily have a peak through the curtain, then instead you might want to get some frosting up on the windows! This is especially important if it affects your training. Some dogs are fine looking out of the window and for others it can disturb them. ➡️ Noises is very common! This could be your dog alert barking at noises or being scared of noises. A quick tip is to get some background noise on! A double buffer can be great. For example, a radio with calming music plus a white noise machine plugged in near the source of the sounds e.g near doors or windows. We want to try and help sound proof the house as best as possible. I would also want to ensure your dog has had a health check is they are very noise sensitive to ensure they have no underlying physical concerns that may be contributing as there is a link between noise sensitivities and pain. For some dogs we may also need to work on some training around the noises too!
