Hello everyone, and welcome back to a brand new episode of Dog Sense 🥳!
Sarah and I are so excited to be with you again, especially because we're discussing something a lot of our students go through: Separation anxiety in dogs.
If you've ever had a dog with separation anxiety, then you know it can be a real struggle 😟.
Even just stepping out of your home for a 10-minute grocery run can become stressful, because you just know your dog is going to be extremely stressed out because you left him home alone 😔.
And sure, it takes a lot of work and a lot of commitment, but separation anxiety in dogs can be helped 💪.
If this speaks to you, don't lose hope just yet 🙏!
We are here to help, which is why, in today's episode, we'll be sharing with you our favorite tips and tricks to deal with a dog with separation anxiety, so tune in now to find out more 🙌!
