Research has found that activities which are social in nature were most effective for increasing relaxation and reducing stress in dogs. And this is not only beneficial for all and every dog but also when it comes to separation anxiety training.
Why is my dog ok alone in the car, but not at home??
The most likely explanation might just be that you were much more careful about leaving your puppy alone in the car, than about leaving them at home.
You’ve probably started with quickly getting petrol, while your pup waited for you in the car. With you in view, just a few moments, all felt safe for your little friend. Then a quick dash into a shop here and there, leaving it a little longer every time.
So they’ve gradually got used to being in the car on their own. And there have never been any scary absences.
It’s a predictable and therefore a safe routine for them.
And here’s the great news; if your dog got used to being alone in the car via using the method of gradual exposure, the same method we are using to get them to be ok with being home alone, they can also learn just that 💪❤️🐕
How to teach your dog to ‘leave it’ without frustration
Most innovative Dog Training Service 2023 - Scandinavia
I am excited to announce that Wolfgang's Way Dog Training has won The Business Concepts Award for 'Most innovative Dog Training Service 2023 - Scandinavia'.
I really do thoroughly love and enjoy my work, especially always thriving to develop bespoke ways to help my dog and human clients, and to be recognised like this is just the (most wonderful) cherry on top.
Wolfgang is currently opening a bottle of champers to celebrate while I'm preparing her favourite sausage cake for her ;)
Thank you so very much to the research and voting team at The Business Concept who've thought Wolfgang's Way worthy of this Award.
OMG....WE WON AN AWARD!!!!
While the Will Smith / Chris Rock Oscar shenanigans are still circling the worldwide media, we too have an Award to announce [cue trumpets announcing Wolfgang entering the room riding naked on a white horse…).
Oh yeah, we only went and won ‘Dog Training Service of the Year’ at the Corporate LiveWire Global Awards.
And we even got a wonderful one page feature in the winners book….
So please excuse ourselves as we hop into a champagne bubble bath (with sausage dippers for Wolfgang of course)….
