Can you PLEASE help? My dog is now 3 years old. I live alone and I hardly ever go out. My dog howls when I leave. I’ve been doing training for years now and tried two types of medication and nothing has worked. I’m lost now how to proceed. The frida protocol I’ve been unable to fully follow yet as have too many questions and stuck at the relaxation part. Please help😢

So we started this about a month ago with our 3 year old shepard malinois mix rescue. He was in kennels for all of his life with no family so he has a lot of issues to work through. Mostly with reactivity and fence guarding. Before watching this video we were putting him on his bed and then walking outside and incrementally getting out the door for longer periods but the progress was so slow. Even though we didnt follow the steps exactly, as our treat dispenser could be a bit slow at times, we just left the house today for 2 and a half hours and he calmed down and slept for most of it. He didnt seem bothered by the treats we left out for him and he was ocassionally checking the door for us but other than that it was so much better than when we left him a few months ago. We were scared we wouldnt be able to leave him again for a long time so really pleased to have found this video and used some of the methods combined with some relaxation protocol. 😊 Much appreciated from the UK

We've started doing this at home with our extremely separation anxious dog that we rescued 5 months ago. Rescued at age 8 from a hoarding situation in Texas with 30 doggie siblings no people... He has never been alone in his life and we couldn't leave the house at all because of his anxiety. He is a super calm dog otherwise (can sleep and relax ANYWHERE!) but the second we leave...it's madness. We started doing the treats when he relaxes in his special room, and recently bought a remote feeder. He LOVES being alone in his room now -- and will often leave our side even as we eat dinner to go hang out in the room. We haven't tried with the closed door yet, but this is truly the first hope we've had in MONTHS. He actually LIKES being alone now. Thank you, this is giving us our life back.

It depends on many factors, some dogs are simply not food driven enough. However, the question is why? Many people leave the food dayround for the dog for free and even if not then from the first day on this planet the dog has free food - in these cases the food will forever have very low value to the dog. Imagine as a human you'd get a monthly allowance of money from the day you're born till the day you die, and it would increase as you age and according to your needs, would you in your complacency would go and put effort and work for more money? Most people probably won't. In the highly unlikely case that the food drive is simply low because of some inherent temperament - you'll have to develop a drive for play in the dog, and in medium and below energy dogs this is going to be waaaay harder than increasing their food drive.
@Mel-id8bn8 ай бұрын
It may be helpful to try higher value treats to start out with. Try cut up beef jerky, freeze dried liver or hearts (cut to appropriate size), soft training bites. Train before feeding, when they are hungry and the treats gain even more value. If your dog is very stressed by you leaving, then they may be past their threshold and not eating due to that. If that is the case then you may need to proceed in smaller steps. Good luck!

Try giving a Good breakfast in the morning. Make it the biggest and best of the day. Last meal late evening. If you you try this food will be more appealing. Ive had a super separation anxiety dog i know what its like, i had to take him EVERYWHERE all of the time it was a pain but i was in a position where I was able to do this. Obviously this isnt a option for everyone so the best advice i can give for what its worth is be calm before you're about to leave him. take it out of your head because they are ultra perceptive. You are their everything for a dog like this so try and be totally calm and when you leave do all you can to make him feel better. I think a lot of it is about training yourself in order for it to filter to your dog. Best of luck and im sure you WILL make this work. 🤞

My dog doesn’t care much about those things either. The only food related item that she responds to is dried cow trachea/ ear/ hoof/ snout ect. She LOVES it (but it’s kinda stinky). I think because it’s not something that she’ll just eat, she has to lick and chew it, so it’s really entertaining. Worth giving it a try :)

Three months ago my husband and I purchased an almost 3 year old (born March 2020 = "covid puppy") not knowing she suffered terriby from SA. She attached primarily to me. She does kind of okay if home alone with my husband but he pretty much has to keep her busy. I rarely leave and if we both have to leave I make arrangements to take her to one of 3 or 4 friends who are willing to have her visit. It's been tough on us all. We spent $250 on a consultation with a positiver reinforcement trainer, who want another $500 for 4 sessions. We couldn't afford that so we developed our own plan. Your video is such an encougement because it validates our decision to purchase and begin using Treat and Train. We've only had it two days and now we know better how to implement the relaxation protocol and how to eventually phase it out. Thank you so very much for giving us a plan. But, since we're not there yet I am putting in my two cents to show my support for Nadine and Simone's program in English. I bet it won't cost as much as a professional trainer (i.e. $750)!

I live in a one bedroom small apartment. All of 760 square ft. My husky mix is fine as long as I don’t go through the apartment door. He often follows me around the apartment, but not always. I work from home and keep my bedroom door closed during the day. Was an issue for a day or so and then he’s fine all day. I’ve got cameras to keep an eye out in case it gets into mischief. I can even leave during the day and it’s not a big deal. Evening and night though. Within seconds of me shutting the front door he’s howling or whining. Now I’m just three weeks into our relationship. He’s a rescued. 14 months old or so. He paces. He whines. He barks. He looks out the window. Lays by the door. Very stressed. When I’m here at night he’s chill and relaxed. He’s not into toys. Food toys he likes but ignored when I leave the apartment. I’m looking for ideas on how to utilize the partial barrier. All I can think is a baby gate on the front door and a way to keep that door open. Open to ideas. We walk over 2 miles a day. Free running not an option.

separation anxiety takes time to change. you are only 3 weeks in. it took us 6 months of consistent work, training using the subthreshold method and frida method. i would say, keep doing door desensitization exercises for months. this means, going to the door, touching the door, opening the door, grabbing your things, but never leaving. then when your dog acts normal when you do all this stuff, you leave for 1 second. yup. u start at 1 second. then 2 second. then 15 seconds. build it up to a minute, then 15 mins, 50 mins . this needs to happen VERY SLOWLY. take. your. time. be patient. watch their body cues on your camera feed. its a hard problem to fix and medication helps so much, but you still need to address the root cause. the root cause is because the dog is afraid its being abandoned, so the way to address that is showing the dog you always come back before they need to worry.

Video game music is another great option, as it is literally *designed* to be background noise AND to elicit specific moods. Added bonus is you can stream loops of your chosen song or playlist for free on most smart TVs. I put on the same 10hr video of Skyrim music every time I leave the house, and the dogs have acclimated to it so well that as soon as it starts playing they all go to their favorite spots on the couch and pass out before I even have my shoes on. :P

I rescued a husky a year ago, and she definitely suffers from seperation anxiety. She is very calm and relaxed, but only with me. When leaving her in the car for example, if I get more than a few feet away she starts doing the husky howls and yaps. If i leave a window down too far she leaps out of my truck. I have tried everything, even calming chews. I had been giving her rawhide bones or special treats to distract her, but she soon became wise to that and watches me to make sure im not going anywhere, and ignores toys, food and treats. I'll have to try these methods and see if they work, but huskies are not so easily persuaded Im finding out, lol Ive trained all of the dogs ive owned and she is by far the hardest to train. Shes a very affectionately pup. She will wake up from a nap and if im in bed she will crawl up into bed with me and lay against me.

Your video showed up in my suggstions at the perfect time. You are describing my little Luna to a T. She really needs to gain some independence. It breaks my heart that she feels like she can't be apart from me when I leave the room much less leave the house. In truth we had considered rehoming her because I can't leave her alone ever and we've had her since November. I have had to put her on medication to help with her anxiety but when we try to couple that with conventional treatments it just doesn't work. I am typing this as I work from home and she is in her crate right now whining because I am not making eye contact with her. She is literally less than five feet from me but her crate is turned in the other direction so she can't see me only hear me. It's maddening at times because I feel like I'm being held hostage by an adorable furry being that doesn't get that I need to work to pay for her meds and her puppy food and toys.

Hi Susan!! My puppy Hudson (chihauhua spaniel mix) is 5 months old and we are dealing with heavy separation anxiety! He howls non stop whenever I leave (in his crate, in a penned area, or free roaming). Last week he howled for 3 hours straight till I got home. I’ll admit it’s my fault, I didn’t leave him alone nearly close to enough from the day I brought him home!! He is very well behaved, nondestructive and great at asking to go outside to use the bathroom which is why I let him roam free in the house since day 1. I am now trying to curb this anxiety by getting him a penned off area in the living room and plan to cut away his free roaming capabilities. My thinking is this will help him be more comfortable when I leave since he will be in there for hours at a time when I am home as well! Would love any feedback or correction/alternatives to this plan!

My chi has such severe SA that she destroyed the feeding puzzles I got due to SA. She destroys everything if she's left alone.

My puppy husky has have his ups and downs in crate training and separation anxiety. But at least we’ve gone from him not even allowing me to take a shower in peace with all the crying and howling, from being able to do that. But it’s still a struggle to leave the house. I had some questions. -Regarding the diet, he’s eating a cooked low carb diet (I buy a barf brand, but he doesn’t like to eat it raw). Is it okay to add more veggies? I’m concerned about the proper diet for a dog, since they come from carnivorous ancestors. -We’ve been training the functional calmness exercises, but my issue is that he will focus on me with firm attention, which normally would be a good thing, but he won’t relax. He’s waiting for me to give him the rewards, but my objective is for him to be calm instead of inquisitive about when the reward may come. This is reflected on how he will be in a down position, and then just sit, and then start barking, which is him being excited and impatient. Even if I build duration, I’m building duration of this state of being eager for treats, rather than calm. -Also, my pups instead of sniffing and the snuffle mat, he’ll just shake it and drop all the treats 😅. One could think it’s quite the genius move, since he doesn’t have to sniff and find the treats, but it defeats the purpose!

We have been working on functional relaxation with our 8 month old beagle pup. Everything was going well, until he decided that eating his blankets/bedding is more rewarding than relaxing on or near them. We give him plenty of options to shred and destroy appropriate things, and lots of exercise. Any tips?

@katherineakbar153510 ай бұрын
I love this. I feel like it took women to come up with an empathic, choice-based protocol, instead of what my male trainer recommended: the proverbial carrots and sticks, which led my dog to a complete meltdown.

I really enjoyed this episode thank-you. I don't have a dog with separation anxiety but I do have one who struggles to stay calm when the delivery people turn up. I've done the Karen Overall relaxtion protocol and had some success . Still more to do though. I'm sure this protocol could be adapted for delivery drivers! .

Hi I enjoyed your video, my dog is 15 months old, he chewed his stuffed toys, he ripped his snuffle mat up, he relaxes all the time I’m with him the minute I move he’s up, he would walk away from a feeder after a while as he would be bored, I’ve crate trained him but he goes so nuts he jumps in the crate and moves it while he’s barking…….do you have any other tips I can’t leave the house.

Hi Frida, just learning about your techniques, so exciting.. I get extreme anxiety and the most explosive reactions when we are in the car and I attempt to stop car and get out. I get this even if my dog knows I am walking around to let him out, or if I am stopping to go into the gas station. its the action of stopping car, (anxious bark) putting into park, turning off engine (frantic bark, clawing) and opening my door (full blown panic) How/where do I start or adapt your program to the car? (I dont get the separation anxiety if Im home and leave) although we get SOME if I leave him in house and I am in backyard, OR if someone (my husband attempts to take him on leash away from me)

What a great topic for episode 200! Thanks for this podcast, it is as brilliant as all the others. I have a dog that has separation anxiety and I will definitely try this approach. I am German, but live in the States now, so either way would be fantastic. I have a question though, my dog is crate trained and he loves his crate. He goes in there on his own when he is tired. I want to let him roam free eventually, but before I can trust him making good choices without us, I would rather have him in his crate when we leave him alone. Does FRIDA also works with a crate as a barrier instead of the XPEN?
@ecupcakes2735 Жыл бұрын
no. FRIDA protocol should be used , without a crate. Room or gate barriers work well. The point of FRIDA is to give your dog choices to relax & have more freedom without being attached to you
@jddeforest17763 ай бұрын
So, my dog , Clay would ignore the toy, chew-up the Snuffle Mat and dog bed, jump over the barrier, could care less about the food and he gets a ton of exercise on my 2 1/3 acres. His attention span on training is about 3 minutes. Ugh. He does have pretty good nutrition, but I could step that up. He does like a good foot massage, but his relaxation could improve.

How would you adjust this if you need to leave your dog in a crate instead? Just moving an open crate around instead of the 3 sided barrier? What is you have a puppy that can’t be left with a bed/ topple or kong? My puppy loves to chew and shred so I can’t leave enrichment in her crate with her.

I have the furbo camera that works as a treat dispenser, would you say that it would be detrimental if the treat dispenser is a bit further away from the dog? In the sense that when she is calm she would have to stand and maybe walk to pick up the treat?

This has been my struggle too. I haven't been able to get my puppy to not stand up to eat the treat. I'm trying to reward him for being calm and relaxed.

Hi Susan, my husband and I are trying this protocol on our super separation-anxious pittie girl.... gradually, she's chillaxing in the other room with her remote pet feeder friend and we're watching her on the wifi-cam... this is great progress for her. One question: is it a bad idea to keep rewarding through pet feeder once they're basically asleep? It might be counter-productive to wake them up for a treat... just a bit unsure.

This is great - thank you. My working cocker spaniel is fine if I leave the house, but he can’t bear it if I leave a room. Will be using these steps. Would this still be SA though, or FOMO. He also can’t even handle it if he’s on a boundary and I’m on the sofa or letting the other dog out for the toilet. Other Podcast suggestions welcome. Thanks

Interesting protocol! My only "problem" is I have 2 dogs, one with SA and one without. The one without would be jonesing for the treats! Guess I would have to separate them to work on this, but I understand and it is definitely worth a go. Congratulations on 200 podcasts!! Love them all!

I'm curious to know if this has helped any solve their SA problems long term. We've had our sweet rescue for a year and a half, he came with severe SA on day 1. Including medication and CSAT training, we've barely made progress. We have also done the FRIDA protocol (along with Susan's other great progress) but the SA is so severe that we can't seem to make it more than a few minutes. Feeling a bit hopeless.
