This is quite a straightforward separation case. Two-year-old Fox Terrier Rufus panics when he’s left alone all by himself. He came from the breeder to live with the young lady at about eight months of age. Until then he always had the company of other dogs. He’s never been all Read more…
Noah suffers from separation panic whenever he’s left without human company. He’s most distressed when his young lady owner’s mother leaves him.

The tiny six-month Yorkie is so beautiful I could not resist three photos. Gizmo cries when left alone. The key to relieving him and his young humans from all the anxiety and stress around separation is to find out just why he is unhappy when left. Separation Anxiety is a blanket term that covers Read more…
Whether marking or anxiety through being left, the root cause will be Herbie’s feeling of insecurity. Greyhounds have hidden depth. It’s easy to assume that because five-year old Herbie lies around quite a lot and appears peaceful and a bit lazy, that he’s calm inside. I noticed a lot of Read more…
