Separation Anxiety is more than just training
It's an emotional issue and can often be rooted in an unresolved past fear.
It is almost impossible to resolve separation anxiety as a behavioural issue without first resolving their primary sense of feeling safe in the world.
Typical issues include :
Controlling behaviour - Dogs will try and control what they can like the environment in an attempt to control their internal emotions. This can be mistaken as confidence or stubbornness or even wrongly labelled as dominance.
Unresolved emotions - The anxiety dog is displaying is the result of an unresolved fear from a past experience. The key to resolving anxiety is to release the unresolved fear from the past.
Emotional mirroring – There is a high likelihood that you share the same fears as your dog, even if you express it differently.
Identifying this core fear can help both and your dog gain confidence together.
Behaviour is the solution – the behaviours your dog is displaying are not the problem. Your dog is showing you their solution to the problem, don’t confuse the two.
When training methods alone have not resolved the problem for your dog; it is simply an indication that there is more to the picture, and a more thorough perspective is required.
Real transformations happen when you focus on a deeper emotional level. Here is where a Kinesiology session can help support your dog.

⋆。°✩ A Simple Practice to Reframe Your Training Challenges ⋆。°✩
Learning or training challenges with a dog isn’t about what happens, it’s about how we see things.
If we see training our dogs as a hard we’ll brace for failure.
If we see training as a battle and the dog not doing what we ask, we’ll always look for something to fight.
But if we see having a dog and seeing their struggles as a gift to help us learn, we’ll feel gratitude.
If we see these challenges as a dance, we’ll find joy in the rhythm.
Here's three easy steps to help you reframe your struggles :
1. Identify Your Default Lens:
• When training your dog feels challenging, ask yourself: How am I seeing this?
• Is training or your dog’s behaviour feeling like a battle? A test? A burden? A lesson for me to reflect on?
2. Choose a New Perspective:
• What if having a dog and learning with them were actually a gift?
• What if this challenge were a teacher, not a punishment?
• What if, just for today, you saw your dog’s challenges as a chance to love them for who they are.
3. Anchor the Feeling:
• Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and feel what this new perspective is like in your body.
• Let it settle, even if just for a moment.
This isn’t about denying hardship of learning. It’s about choosing a way of seeing that empowers us rather than weighs us down.
Flirt poles are a great way to help your dog practice their natural instincts and help bond with you.
It's really important that we provide them with outlets for their natural behaviour to ensure that they are fulfilled and don’t seek out inappropriate alternatives.
For dogs who love to chase, a flirt pole is a brilliant outlet.
Few little tips on safety :
- Be aware of the length of time you use them and remember to keep sessions short so your dog can’t wait to play again next time.
- Be mindful of using sharp movements and turns which can cause injuries
- Be careful not to pull the toy out of their mouths or tug too hard

Our dogs feel our emotions, they observe us and understand what we say to them. This is on a far more energetic level than the words we speak.
How often has your dog known you were upset and comforted you? How often does your dog know you are worried even though you tell others you are not? They are so intuitive to our feelings and pick up on so much. We may try to hide our feelings to others, but they know.
Animal communication is a way of tuning into their emotions so if you would like a session, please reach out to me

Slowing things down at the door can really help your walk get off to the best start. This is particularly important if you have a dog that can be reactive. Here is a short video from my Reframing Reactivity Programme to help explain.
