One of the most common issues that dog owners face is their dog showing anxiety-related behaviors when left alone at home. These can include eliminating in the house despite being "house-trained", destruction of furniture, barking and howling or trying to escape. Some dogs behave more intensely than others, often making this dangerous for them.

During this talk Devina will address how to identify if your dog really does have separation anxiety, and how to get started with training them to be more relaxed when left alone. We'll also touch briefly upon the effect of supplements and over-the-counter remedies, as well as the importance of talking to your Vet about this. We will also have some time at the end of class for answering questions!
