Dealing with an anxious Dog, whether as a patient or companion at home can be very challenging.
On this Bitesize course, we will be exploring the many facets of Canine Anxiety and effective techniques for managing and treating this often debilitating condition.
Dogs can be resilient and adapt to changes, but others find change difficult.
We know that sudden changes in routine or household members suddenly not being around can contribute to problem behaviour.
Separation anxiety or separation distress is already a problem for some dogs, and it takes a lot of work to improve or change this.
With the measures in place to try to keep us all safe from covid-19, many of us are having to remain at home. Some dogs will be enjoying the additional time with family members, additional walks and interaction, opportunities to engage in some fun training or mental enrichment.
The most reported predisposing factor in separation anxiety problems in dogs is said to be a sudden episode of enforced separation from the caregiver, preceded by a period of prolonged and relatively constant contact.
Some dogs have never learned to cope with separation from the primary attachment figure and/or may have developed an overly intense attachment as a result of experiencing a long phase of constant or exclusive contact.
This fantastic Webinar is written and presented by Lisa Hird from The Dog Behaviour Clinic, who has the benefit and experience in working with Dogs and assisting owners with Separation Anxiety on a weekly basis.
