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

❓How do you generalise your dogs home alone training to other times of the day?
You need to find a baseline of what your dog can cope with at a different time of the day and if they differ you need to set “two plans” for your dog. It is impoetbst you obtain this information so you can track progress and build time effectively at your dogs pace.
@l
It can be advantageous to start training in the early stages at a time your dog is most relaxed before varying to the time of day to much, especially if time of day is a trigger for variation. However, we understand there are days you may need to train at various times and if so have separate plans if your dog does differ

It is important underlying Medical Issues are ruled out. Underlying medical issues can be a huge contributor to your dogs Separation Anxiety.
In Mills et al (2020) study; “A review of the caseloads of 100 recent dog cases of several authors indicates that a conservative estimate of around a third of referred cases involve some form of painful condition, and in some instances, the figure may be nearly 80%. Musculoskeletal but also painful gastro-intestinal and dermatological conditions are commonly recognized as significant to the animal’s problem behavior.
If you suspect your dog may have a behavioral issue rooted in or exacerbated by pain, advocate for them. Encourage your veterinarian to investigate possible causes of pain. Suggest trialing a course of analgesics, and keep a diary to report behavioral changes.”
A high percentage of my case load have underlying health issues that has been identified before training or along the way if training has not been successful. Contact your vet for support and It’s always good to get second opinions in these cases if they was deemed to have no medical issues at the start of training if your behaviour modification is not going as you would like.

Three tips for getting success in your Separation Anxiety Training⬇️⬇️⬇️
1️⃣ Rule out medical issues - We see far to often medical issues contribute to separation anxiety such as joint or muscular pain, tummy issues, allergies etc. Medical issues can cause setbacks in your training and stop you from progressing so it’s always worth ruling these out.
2️⃣ Meet your dogs needs - We need to meet our dogs needs in lots of ways such as sleep, eating well, physical exercise, enrichment, sniffing and exploring, training etc.
3️⃣ Lastly working at your dogs pace. It can be so easy to want to move quicker than your dog is going or get frustrated when you get ups and downs in training. Don’t worry it’s totally normal! But just remember working at your dogs pace is going to get you the most effective outcome in the longer term

Pre-Departure Cues⬇️⬇️⬇️
➡️Pre Departure cues are a cue to your dog that your about to leave the house. If paired with a negative experience alone then these cues can predict something scary is going to happen!
➡️Many owners will try to desensitise their dog to these cues first to only find they cannot even get out the house with their dog relaxed
➡️My biggest tip is to remove all pre departure cues that you can and start with the biggest one of all…. The Door!! Strip away any cues during this training that may trigger your dog. For example, train in slippers or sliders, put extra jumpers on air it’s cold outside!
➡️Pre-Departure cues can be added in at a later stage. I usually do this once the dog can cope comfortably home alone for anywhere around 5-15 minutes. It really is dog dependant when I do this.
Now there could be some cues that you cannot avoid e.g if you need a key to get back in the house. In this case take the key off any jangly set of keys and take this with you in your hand; this was your not triggering your dog.

⭐️Client review⭐️
Mylo’s owners have done absolutely fantastic in their training journey with Mylo! From not being able to be left at all to now being able to be left for over 2 hours which is fantastic!!
They are super dedicated to his training and have put in so much work to get him to a stage he is happy and comfortable! Changing up where Mylo was left was also a game changer for him💕
Well done guys!

If you have a dog with Separation Anxiety I bet your dog follows you everywhere you go! It’s okay they follow but sometimes you just want to get some simple jobs done without them under your feet!
Also for some dogs going up the stairs isn’t ideal if they have joint issues! So you can do some simple exercises to teach them to learn to be okay alone for small bursts around the house.
Bed training is a brillaint tool to utilise and can be transferable to lots of situations! Give it a go and let us know how you get on!
