Thanks for watching! 🐶 Does your puppy have anxiety when you leave?

[@ambibambi6479]

How do I adapt it if my dog is just happier outside a crate? Have them locked in their room instead?

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

We don't recommend a larger space if you're away from home. This could prevent your dog from settling and he/she could pace with anxiety, working up to a panic. Instead you can work on the crate games to help your dog love their crate. They are in our online course if you haven't already enrolled! www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/puppy-perfection-course-learn-more/

How do I handle this if it’s a senior dog? We adopted an 8 year old dog that has separation anxiety in the crate. I don’t know the history about how her past owners used her crate, I wish she could sleep with us but our bedroom is small and our bed is small and we have cats. Doing an enforced nap time for a senior dog seems weird…? Most videos are for training puppies so I feel kind of lost. I’ve thought of using a kong with peanut butter and rescue remedy drops for bedtime or if we have to leave the house. She won’t eat in her crate, I tried when we first adopted her. You close the door and she cries and won’t eat.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

You can use the same techniques of working on crate training slowly, helping her love it, and avoiding any negative experiences. It sounds like she's not ready for the door to be closed until you work on her confidence more. If you haven't checked it out yet, find a book by Julie Naismith called "Be Right Back". The protocol is the same for any age of dog. With older dogs who have had a long history of anxiety you will have to take the training very slowly.

I agree there are less resources for adult shelter dogs

[@lisaburke7421]

We got Bailey at 4 months, now she is 6 1/2 months. I put her in crate for nap and bedtime. But, she wakes if I move or leave room just during naps. I have not left house during day, husband at work, since we got her. Please advise! Thank you!!

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

It's definitely time to start building her independence before she develops a stronger dependence on her humans. As the video suggests, start by using the crate games to help teach her to be calm while you walk away. Eventually with training you'll be able to leave during naps. With more time and training you'll be able to leave even when she's awake in the crate. The crate games are in our online course: www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/puppy-perfection-course-learn-more/

What if I need to work full-time and dont have someone to come in and check on him, or take him out to pee

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Then maybe it would be better to get an adult dog who can hold it the entire time you're at work. Puppies are social creatures so in addition to potty breaks they need companionship, enrichment, training, etc. It's a lot of work. Sometimes adopting an older dog can be a better fit because they aren't so needy and are more comfortable being alone.

[@Cmm474]

I don’t think I’d get a puppy if I couldn’t be there 😢

[@zevawenis]

Not trying to sound rude, but do you have advice for people who have jobs and all their close relatives and friends also have jobs too so we cant align 24/7 puppy watch and playtime? It seems like only people who don’t have jobs can have dogs but then if you don’t have a job you can’t afford a dog so like you’re SOL.

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

The early puppy phase is very labor intensive so you will need to line up extra help. It's temporary, however, until the puppy is ready to be left alone (socially as well as potty/meal breaks, etc). If you don't have the availability or help that a puppy will need, then an adult dog who has already gone through those early developmental phases would be a great plan!

[@angelaharris1112]

Thank you. But my dog goes nuts in his crate. I've tried everything. And his seperation anxiety is so bad that he always destroys stuff. Including the floor in front of the door

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

You may need to consult a professional who works specifically with separation anxiety. Check out the book "Be Right Back" by Julie Naismith to guide you through the standard protocol for this behavior.

Please be careful with the ai thumbnails. It might hurt the channel and turn people away from your great content! 😊

[@milivaro]

I think they mean not using real dog/people pictures. This might just be me but I did scroll past it the first time because the AI look didn’t catch my attention. Luckily I did a double take and realized it was this channel. 😊

[@sweetsglitch]

@@HowToTrainADreamDog There's no way that the "art" in the thumbnail isn't AI generated. The person in the background is walking through a giant window, not a door. And there's glass missing in the window pane where the AI puppy is looking through. Remember, AI generated images function off of stolen work that's used without permission. Not to mention it's uses a LOT of energy to create. I would highly consider replacing that thumbnail.
