When a pet dies, the loss impacts every animal in the home. Dogs depend on their social group (humans and other housemates) for safety and stability, so a sudden change can be deeply unsettling and may trigger behavior changes and anxiety.

Losing a pet affects every member of the household, including the other animals who remain. Dogs may show changes in behavior after the loss of a companion, but is it grief? I dig into what the research says and share ways to support your surviving pets during this difficult transition.

Separation anxiety can make you feel helpless and unsure of what to do next. It is true that some parts of the process are out of your control, like how quickly your dog progresses or exactly what recovery will look like.

But here is what I do know: recovery is possible. And there are things you can control that will make a real difference in your dog’s progress.

One of the most important things you can do is avoid “winging it.” Separation anxiety is not a condition that gets better with guesswork or generic internet tips. Working with a qualified, Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer, like myself, provides the structure, detailed weekly training plans, data tracking and ongoing support that you and your dog need to truly succeed.

Not everything you’ve heard about separation anxiety is accurate, but there is hope. With the right guidance and a proven plan, recovery is possible. You and your dog do not have to navigate this alone. Details on how to work with me below.

Some clients come to me already knowing their dog has separation anxiety or isolation distress, because it's been diagnosed by a vet. But many others are confused and unsure - is your dog experiencing separation anxiety or just having normal "dog stuff" going on?

My self-paced course, Separation Anxiety Training Foundations is a cost-effective solution for those not ready to embark on a one on one training program or for those who need guidance on determining if their dog has separation anxiety of other issues. Read more about what this incredible course offers below.

It's World Kindness Day. And that's a perfect reminder that a little empathy goes a long way with your dog.

If your dog destroyed your new couch, if the neighbors are fed up with nonstop barking, or if you are facing another vet bill because your dog hurt himself trying to escape, I see you.

It might feel like your dog is being bad, but the truth is that they are panicking. Chewing the couch is an outlet for overwhelming anxiety. Barking all day is their way of screaming for help. Hurting themselves to get out is because, in their mind, survival depends on it.

They do not need better manners. They need support and relief from their anxiety.

I can help. I offer one-on-one training as well as my DIY, self-paced Separation Anxiety Foundations Training course.

This is our new foster, Dorothy. She is super underweight after having puppies 7 weeks ago so she will be staying with us to get healthy and socialized a bit. So far she’s super sweet and settling in great. She is much smaller than Gertie but she reminds me so much of Gertie when we first got her. She had also recently been a momma and was emaciated. Dorothy is foster #74 for us!

When we let dogs "cry it out," we run the risk of compromising their emotional well-being and our relationship with them.

When they are truly upset, ignoring their pleas for help can actually increase their panic.

If your dog is afraid, COMFORT THEM.

FULL STOP.

It pains me to think of all the dogs who suffer unnecessarily because of the prevalence of this myth. This is one needs to be put to bed once and for all.

If you are afraid of something and someone hugs you and comforts you with gentle words, does that make you more afraid? Of course not. It helps calm you and makes you feel better. Do the same for your dog.

COMFORT YOUR DOG IF THEY'RE AFRAID.

I promise you it won't make their fears worse. In fact, it will teach them you are safe and provide help when they need it.

Separation anxiety can be hard to properly label, even in adult dogs. But with puppies, it can be especially confusing for new puppy parents to know if their puppy is experiencing separation anxiety or normal "puppy stuff." A lot of normal things that puppies do are also a lot of the same indicators we look at when determining if a dog has isolation distress.

But, it's incredibly important that we don't just let them "cry it out." When we let dogs "cry it out," we run the risk of compromising their emotional well-being and our relationship with them. And when they are truly upset, ignoring their pleas for help can actually increase their panic.

If you need help, reach out today! Let me help you and your dog. Don't fall victim to well intentioned misinformation from friends or family, or worse, AI. Get help from a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer with the education, tools and expertise to help you.

Testimonial Tuesday!

Look at this little bundle curled up and napping! This sweet photo (shared a while ago) of Lola was shared by one of my Separation Anxiety Foundations course graduates in our members-only Facebook group, a bonus included with the course.

When Lola was rescued, her guardian had to take her to work or hire a sitter just so she wouldn’t be alone and panicking. But after working through the course materials with dedication, Lola is now comfortable, secure, and relaxed when left alone.

Separation anxiety can be tough on dogs and their humans. It affects quality of life for both. With the right support and training, recovery is possible.

Struggling with Your Dog’s Separation Anxiety? Read This First.

When your dog is anxious every time you leave, it’s heartbreaking and it’s only natural to want to help them feel better fast. But when it comes to true separation anxiety, quick fixes aren’t just ineffective, they can actually make things worse.

Quick fixes might offer temporary relief but fail to address the underlying root causes of behavioral problem. Techniques that suppress unwanted behaviors without understanding their underlying causes can lead to increased anxiety, fear, and even aggression in dogs.

Ready to get started? Book an assessment or explore the Separation Anxiety Foundations self-paced course today!

Let’s work together to bring peace of mind to you and your dog. You both deserve it. See below!

Breaking news!

PetSafe and parent company Radio Systems Corporation have agreed to a $1.9 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it failed to disclose that its electronic collars were potentially unsafe.

"According to the class action lawsuit, PetSafe failed to disclose that its electronic ‘shock’ collars were not “harmless” as advertised and could allegedly cause physical and psychological harm."

Read more below.

And, if you need help with your dog's behavior, please don't turn to quick fixes like shock collars. Contact me for help. Your dog deserves better. Learning shouldn't hurt.

(As always, comments promoting shock collars or other aversives will not be tolerated on my page.)
