What do they look like and what do we know about the different underlying causes of these issues. What is the social nature of the dog and how is it impacted by human relationships and pet dog management? This includes what is attachment versus human-animal bonds and what that means both internally and behaviourally for the dog. What concepts covered in fearful Fido need specific consideration to meet a dog's emotional safety needs and how can we do that practically in cases of separation distress? Part 2: What are noise phobias and how might they impact on separation issues? How and why do dogs feel frustration and how does that impact on separation issues? We will revisit some concepts from Fearful Fido to practically consider how to start addressing separation issues. There will be a short section on fear reducing medications that can assist in some separation cases. Part 3: we will look at applying a multi-modal approach when addressing separation issues in the pet dog from a practical perspective to ensure the dog's body and brain are in the best possible state to create new memories about being left alone. We will revisit learning theory as discussed in Fearful Fido from the perspective of actual cases and consider how a thorough understanding of how memories have been made and continue to be stored for recall, will affect any retraining component. Part 4: Prevention is better than cure: how can we set puppies up for Home Alone success. What elements of their developmental stages leave them at their most vulnerable for developing separation issues and how can these be avoided. There will be a detailed description of working with a young dog to resolve separation issues including panic attacks and destructive behavior.
