The real truth about Separation Anxiety..........
There can be several causes of your dog's separation anxiety, that cannot be resolved by training alone.
There is a likelihood that you share the same fears as your dog, even if you express it both differently.
To check whether this may be true for you, I invite you to reflect on which statement resonates with you the most?
1. You're mourning losses that haven't happened yet
2. You protect yourself by not fully engaging, even with those you
love
3. You're constantly scanning for signs that someone is about to leave you
4. You leave yourself before others can leave you
5. You lack self confidence or feel like you are not enough
If you are drawn to any of these statements, or one feels true to you, there is a fair chance your animal is also feeling this.
I want you to know that you have not caused their separation anxiety, they are simply mirroring your emotions through their behaviour.
Help is here!
We can often repeat the same circle of thinking, but we can also establish a new pattern that not only helps us but helps our dogs too.
