So counsel to back it up - to de sensitize this dog to separation.
I am a dog trainer (of my own dogs) and my trainer is always adapting training to the dog team. We have done together so many different things in response to my dog*s actions and responses. And while I tend to agree with your generalization not all dog trainers are the same. Some actually are flexible and creative with training. |
I have not suggested rehoming here....I just said that, in the end, sometimes rehoming.
As for trainers and behaviorists, I was merely stating the general difference.
None of this has anything to do with you or what you do with your pups. All of what I posted is what I believe to be true in terms of dealing with issues with pups and crating
