If, and certainly not everyone is able to, you can bring a dog, cat, or other pet with intelligence enough to form a relationship into your home,(as opposed to a fish) it can be powerfully helpful with many sub-types and severity levels of depression/affective disorders. I have benefited greatly from having my GSD, Hendrix, in this way. It can be much stronger motivation to get moving, focuses attention outward, assuages loneliness, provides a source and object of unconditional love, a devoted listener, reason to exercise, and spend more time on grass! I'm sure we could keep adding to the list, those are what sprung to mind quickly though. I hope you are able to minimize or aviod future episodes, I know how low it can get.

I've had dogs most of my life and I can generally handle every tip but that very last one. Coming home to my pets is the best part of my day! I actually really love getting jumped all over and yipped at. Makes me feel welcomed home. Luckily, I've never had any issues with separation anxiety that persisted past puppy hood, which was easily solved by exercise and crate training. In adolescence/adulthood, they've always been relaxed, so I toss the crate back into storage.

Hi, during the puppyhood stage with your dogs. After exercising them and putting them in the crate, did you ignore them when/if they cried or barked? My 6 month old sometimes cries and barks when left on his own, other times he is fine. I'm just not sure if I should let him cry it out and learn to accept that crying wont get him what he wants. Some trainers seem to recommend this, while others such as Julie Naismith seem to say that even barking on its own could be a sign of separation anxiety and the dog should not be left on it's own again until you slowly desensitise him. That seems to be the advice on her Facebook group but I'm very aware that she has a book to sell that is heavily promoted on that group so it may be in her interests to label any barking or crying as separation anxiety.

Basically at first after the shoes and key process, just open the door and close back up remove shoes again etc. Then increase it by going out the door, shutting it and coming right back in. Then just be a minute, five minutes, 20, 30 and so on, so the puppy gets used to it :)

Hi, first of all, love your content, I've been binge watching every channel/videos I could find from you for the past 2 weeks (still a lot of content to go through i think). If most of the time I understand your explaination on the behavior, what to do and what not, on the training part, correcting part etc, this time I have a hard time with what you said last. I'd be sad if my dog wasn't overly excited to see me when I come back home (I don't have a dog yet). Is it bad for them to be excited for this reason ?

@alyssajordan777

2 жыл бұрын

I think it’s about getting OVERLY excited. Your dog should have more of a contained excitement because being overly excited can make them forget their manners. They may jump up on people when they are greeting you or others, they may bark or even play nip, or some puppies actually piddle when they are over excited. He isn’t saying they can’t get excited but reinforcing calm or contained excitement will help them retain their manners. Hope I explained that well enough.

@@alyssajordan777 Hey I just read your answer and yes it makes sense. Even though I quite like jumping and stuff it would be bad for my (hopefully soon to be) dog to do that on other people and I understand the importance of consistency, it would be confusing as hell for the dog, so okay, keep manners going at all time, I get it ;)

My 10 week old puppy loses his mind when I come back (crated for an hour max). He's calm, but once he's free he acts like I've been gone a year, crying, licking me, wanting attention. I've always given in. Trying to reassure him he's ok. I'll have to try the cold method. I already do it when I leave.

Pl suggest few tiring activities for new 2 month old pup to do.

Hi!! My 8 month old puppy Hudson (chihuahua/spaniel mix) is dealing with isolation distress. He gets plenty of exercise and 2 long walks a day. Hudson is fine to be in his crate, wait patiently, or play with his toys in another part of the home while we’re in the another room. Initially thought he had separation anxiety, but as we reinforced crate training and rewarding for being quiet when left the room, we discovered his issue is only when we leave home. We approach leaving our house the same way we approached crate training and keeping him in other rooms (we call them “In and Outs”). Started with short periods of time, rewards when he was calm, extended to longer periods of time the more comfortable he got. When doing In and Out‘s, we can build up his time to hours in his crate or 20 minutes waiting outside the house (it’s a cold winter in Canada, can’t stay out there long). The problem comes when we leave the house and Hudson realizes this no longer is a training exercise, he howls excessively until our return. He refuses to relax in his crate or take a nap. He once howled for 3 hours straight when we needed to go out. How am I suppose to reward a calm puppy for my return if he’s never calm and doesn’t stop howling? We need to eventually re-enter our home, but because he’s howling that means Hudson wins. We can’t do “In and Out” build ups everytime we need to go out to the gym, dinner, grocery shopping, etc. Please help!! Michael and Stephanie

Do a gentle correction when he howls when you leave. So he knows its not allowed behavior. Make a sound to get his attention on you, and poke him in the side.

When I work very early in the morning, I have very little time to exercise Rusty, my shepherd husky mix before leaving for work. I'd literally have to get out of bed at 3am to accomplish this.

Where do I begin on crate training my adult dog that I adopted after he was abused? I have tried to get him to willingly go into a crate, but he won't go near one, and if I try to go towards him to pick him up to put him in it he pees in fear. I have tried putting treats and toys and bedding in one, but he is terrified of cages, or even walking through doors that aren't wide open. I have tried to speak to a trainer in my area, but they will not train him because they can't get near him. Do you have any tips?

how do you keep dog who you allow off leaSH TO COME BACK TO YOU WHEN CALLED OR WHEN THEY RUN OFF. THANK YOU WILL.

Will can you give me advice please. I got 12 weeks french bulldog. She got her crate that fits her bed and litter box with wooden pallets. she started using it and this helps me to keep her bed clean. the crate was placed in the living room. I could not place it in my bedroom as she snores badly. The carte is covered and this way she does not wakes up at night as she used to (at 4-5 am barking) I also got a doggy door in the laundry room. But the crate does not fit there. In the past, i put an enclosure around the doggy door and her bed. She went out early morning but still did her toilets inside in the laundry. She also woke up early in laundry. So which is the best way to teach train her toilet -to use a doggy door and make her sleep through the night? Placing litter box inside of her crate is a good or bad idea? Thanks

The part with having a lot of active time worked for me.. he is usually so tired after playing fetch that he is happy to have a few hours for himself 😂

I really, REALLY don't like ignoring my dog when I come home... is there any way to be able to greet him passionately without increasing his separation anxiety? Thank god, I don't have any separation issues (yet). I'm just worried that we might develop some if I continue to be passionate when coming home.

The problem I have is that my 7 month old puppy cries even when I go downstairs to the basement. Like basically if I go to a different room than he's in, he's upset. Any tips on how to fix that?

How much would you change to train my dog to be left alone as he finding it hard when me and my boyfriend leave the house ???

I think you are awesome

He is fine in crate when I am around , he sleeps , so my 4 month old lab has my separation anxiety and I leave him for a bit to cry it out but have neighbours, I return when quiet but I can’t even leave room and he cries , I walk him and play , and everything he needed to do but just can’t settle on his own . Need help !

I'm out the house 10-11 hours per day I have to leave him in bathroom due to alarms I put down pads leave him food water yet he rips up his pads poos Wees destroys everything in bathroom shampoo body wash ect Ive started to get complaints now

My dog doesn’t cry or get upset when I leave but every time I leave he poops and pees inside, even if it’s just for half an hour or an hour and he’s been out all day before that ..

My puppies are already crate trained. I’ve been going downstairs and trying to emulate me leaving so they THINK I’m not home. They do great for an hour sometimes 2 and only one time for 3 hours. They’re almost 5 months. I will be needing to actually leave the house for real soon. I got a WiFi camera so I can check in. But my biggest fear is that they’ll hurt themselves trying to escape the crate. The time they stayed in their crate for 3 hours. They barked at the 2 hour mark for about 15 minutes and then settled back down. But every single time now they go crazy for long periods of time and I can hear them trying to get out. Once I hear them calm down for a minute or so I go in an reward them. However I decided it’s time to stop going into reward them so they can learn to self soothe. How can I safely get them to that 3-4 hour mark. We’ve already gotten them comfortable with their crates it’s just a matter of the length of time. It’s so hard being home and hearing them so upset. I do eventually go get them, because I don’t know what else to do. Is it time to 100% ignore the behavior until they can get to that 3-4 hour mark, or is there something else I should be doing instead?

I've been struggling with the desensitization part. I have three kids. 5, 3, and 2. And getting them ready to go anywhere is a fight. He understands that getting them ready means we go out to the park. And he gets excited. Managing three kids, getting them dressed then having them sit on a couch for a bit. They'd prolly just undress themselves. 😑

My experience of my own dogs separation anxiety is you need to start really slow and have frequent practice. It took me over a month to get my dog to be alone for an hour. In that time, I had to leave her for 5min, then 10min, back to 5min, 20 min, back to 5 min and so forth. Sticking in a few 30 seconds and one minute alone sessions for her too to desensitise her to the opening of the front door and making sure it wasn’t always just a ramp up each time to give her some easy wins depending on her progress. This was all time consuming and sometimes a pain in that first month or so. But my result is she is more than happy and comfortable staying at home for an hour. Im still working on getting that overall alone time increased surely but slowly
