The following resources are designed for trainers and owners to understand further about separation problems in dogs. We have created check lists, training schedules, posters and 7 day survival guides. These on-line courses will help lay the foundations to set people up to succeed with their dogs. Each day is a short video explanation, fun interactive training schedules, articles, posters and hand-outs.
The foundations of separation anxiety come from studies surrounding object permanence (knowing an object is there despite it being out of site). Studies show that dogs learn object permanence in specific contexts. The foundations of secure attachment are also important (Bowlby et al) as is stress prevention and of course it is important to consider critical periods and how letting a dog cry it out can be damaging.
The following resources will provide further reading (except Piaget’s Object Permanence explanation and the progression of this from the perspective of canines- this will be available in an upcoming article, which looks at the research in much greater detail)
Anyone who has purchased “The Essential Dog Trainers Resource Guide” now has FREE access to download the extra unit on separation resources. This is great to help when working with clients, vets, rescues etc.
