How I fix this
Pacing, whining, destroying doors, scratching windows the moment you leave. Separation anxiety is a complicated and stressful problem for dogs and owners alike. The root cause is rarely boredom. It is hyper vigilance, a dog keeping too close an eye on its owner. Instead of defaulting to medication or management that never resolves the cause, Brett uses a holistic, balanced approach that addresses the root: leadership, place training to teach your dog to relax on a designated mat for gradually increasing durations, movement control with crates and gates to reduce constant owner checking, and calm, structured departures and arrivals. Consistency is everything.
