Is your dog Anxious - Ignorant - or just doesn't trust you yet?

Learn what anxiety truly is and how it relates to the human-animal bond. By recognizing the signs of fear and understanding the effects it can have on behavior, and being able to apply that knowledge to differentiate between myth and reality… then you will be better caregivers for the dogs that desperately need your help.

Separation Anxiety: Discover the Truth

The fear of being left alone is called separation anxiety. It is often mis-diagnosed by well-meaning caregivers since it can appear as if the dog is just being destructive. It can cause panic and anxiety so intense that a dog will injure himself just trying to escape the confinement of a crate. What can you do when you have a dog to care for and the reality is that you will have to leave that dog alone? Have no fear…….the answer is near!
