When your dog is suffering from separation anxiety, it’s completely natural to want to do everything in your power to help them feel better. A quick internet search will turn up countless suggestions that promise fast results. But for dogs with true separation anxiety, these so-called “quick fixes” are rarely effective—and they can sometimes make things worse.
Quick fixes may seem appealing, but they’re rarely lasting solutions.
I’ve gathered five of the most common recommendations found online that won’t help your dog’s separation anxiety—and may even set back their progress. In this guide, I’ll explain why these strategies fall short and share what actually works to bring relief to both you and your dog. Because you both deserve that peace of mind.
If you’re ready to start your dog’s recovery journey—or just want to find out if separation anxiety is really what’s going on—book your assessment today. You can also check out my self-paced course, Separation Anxiety Foundations, to get started right away.
I look forward to supporting you and your dog soon!
