If you have school-aged kids at home, it may feel like an endless summer! However, for many parents, August means it is time to ramp up and get ready for a new school year. Whether you have an adult dog or a puppy at home, they've likely enjoyed having those kids around for the extra attention and frequently dropped snacks! So for your dogs, the kids heading back to school may be a sad occasion, or at least a bit confusing. It is even possible that your dogs may suffer from separation distress or even separation anxiety when everyone returns to school and work. Because of this possibility, I will be teaching an extended seminar on identifying and dealing with separation anxiety, separation distress, and boredom. Whether you would like to know what to do when you are gone for just a few hours, or what to do when you are gone all day, I will be making suggestions on how to keep your dogs content and constructively occupied in your absence. Examples of interactive toys and games will be shared with the class and there will be time for discussion and individual problem solving. Here is the class sign up link:

Hope to see you there!
As always, if you have questions regarding your pet's behavior, you know where to find me.
My daughter's puppy, Westley, is now 11 months old and can be
left out of his crate for some of his daily naps without worry. As you can see,
he is not anxious about this at all!
