I love watching Victoria Stillwell's training techniques on It's Me or the Dog. She has written a book: "It's Me or The Dog How to Have the Perfect Pet".
In it she covers training independence and redirecting their attention so that you are not the center of their world. If you like I'll lay out more of what she writes, but only if you're interested. |
Hi!
I do think Victoria is amazing!
What tips does she have for seperation anxiety?
I don't want Molly to feel like she's being punished for missing us.....I just want her to be "okay" with it.......
