SA is basically a dog having a panic attack😢

Here are 178 pages explaining everything from myths about SA to implementing a training plan. Best dog book that I‘ve read that truly explains why paying for a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer is worth a pet guardian‘s time & money.

Interestingly, CSATs work remotely all the time because this training relies on video surveillance of the dog when people aren‘t around.

DogMomIrene Our Littlest Doodle Girl has SA, which we‘ve been managing by not leaving her alone. I‘m contacting a CSAT I talked to last year about starting a training plan in January. We‘ve been in our new home for a year+ now, so it‘s time to get Lizzie more help. 2mo

So much this. Our other dog knows we‘re coming home and he‘s pretty calm when we leave. Littlest Doodle Lizzie gets really upset. She‘ll try bolting out the door with me or us. Her phobia is genuine, and I need to meet her where she is to help her. Excellent book so far!

Sitting down with this dog book today. Our littlest dog has anxiety and some noise phobia along with separation anxiety. Looking at SA training in the new year.

The top 3 are the ones I want to tackle first. We‘ve been working with an amazing qualified R+ dog trainer for our littlest doodle who‘s doing much better with her anxiety and reactivity. Thankful for mental health meds for dogs! But I really want to dig deeper to boost her quality of life even more.

And I definitely want to address my menopause symptoms so I can be at my best to help littlest doodle.

AnnCrystal Poor sweet puppy 💕🙏🐕🐾💝. 3mo

DogMomIrene @AnnCrystal 💜💜💜 After 7 years of trying a lot of different training techniques, we found our current trainer, who encouraged us to see a veterinary behaviorist. Best money spent ever. Her anxiety meds have helped her so much. We‘re at the last hump of helping her feel more secure in the world. 3mo

AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene 😘💕🐕💝. Poor baby. Glad you've finally found something to help her. Have you tried those anxiety coats for dogs? Like the ThunderShirt. Not sure if they work... (edited) 3mo

sherrisilvera My maltipoo is a hot anxiety mess. Tried the thundershirts and some meds. Nothing has worked. 3mo

DogMomIrene @AnnCrystal The swaddling thunder shirt can help a little. Usually in home environment. The meds have helped her relax much more at home. Like she‘s finally getting deep restful sleep. She has some noise phobia, but I‘m using pattern games & positive reinforcement to normalize booms, which has helped enormously. 3mo

DogMomIrene @sherrisilvera I‘m so sorry. Did you try different dosing & med combos? We‘re really fortunate to have an amazing vet behaviorist who got med selection & dosing really accurate out of the box, which lead to Lizzie being able to sleep … actual deep restful sleep. She‘s actually gained weight because she‘s not burning as many calories from being anxious. 3mo

DogMomIrene @dabbe Thank you!💜💜💜 I really try to make her life as good as possible. 3mo

AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene that's good 🙏💝. Sweet little baby. Never realized how serious anxiety could be for our fur babies. Glad you found yourself a good vet 💕🐕💝. 3mo

sherrisilvera She's basically ok unless I leave. She's a Covid dog and my adults sons were here plus I live in mother- daughter with parents. She doesn't know how to be alone but cries even with family members if I'm gone. I tried meds before a vacation a few years ago. Changing dose on one did nothing. Other was too strong. She's little, only 8 lbs, so meds are tough. No vet behaviorist less than 1.5 hours away. I'm hoping maybe age will mellow her 3mo

sherrisilvera Eventually. She's 4 now and happy otherwise. Eats like a pig! I'm glad you're dog is on a great track. I'm sure it's a huge relief!! 3mo
