Episode 4: What is separation anxiety in dogs and is there hope?

  • Summary

  • Separation anxiety is a very real phobia for many companion dogs. Being alone is
    downright terrifying for them. And that makes living with these dogs so very stressful for
    pet parents.

    This is the first of a 2-part series discussing Separation Anxiety and its treatment.
    My guest is my own coach, teacher, and mentor when it comes to helping others find hope
    with separation anxiety.

    Dr. Moira Hechenleitner graduated from Mayor University College of Veterinary Medicine
    in 2007, in Santiago, Chile. She is a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT), with a
    postgraduate in Animal-Assisted Therapy.

    Dr. Hechenleitner is a founding board member of the Chilean Association of Professional
    Dog Trainers (APDT Chile) and has spent the last 15 years offering consultation services
    for pet guardians and teaching courses to dog professionals. She is a speaker on the
    topic of Separation Anxiety, giving seminars internationally in English and Spanish.

    She currently resides in Noank, Connecticut and helps dogs and their families from all over
    the world overcome separation anxiety. Learn more about her educational programs and
    support for professionals and pet parents at www.separationanxietydog.com.

    Among what you will learn from listening:

    What is separation anxiety?
    How does separation anxiety differ from confinement distress?
    Are there causes of separation anxiety?
    When you bring home a puppy or rescue dog, how can you acclimate to alone time?
    Is there hope?

    Come back to the second of this 2-part series with Dr. Hechenleitner as we talk about the
    treatment of separation anxiety.

    Thanks for listening!
