Good morning, Power Core. My name is Nick Garrison. In addition to being a certified professional dog trainer, I am also a licensed separation anxiety expert. I help owners’ dogs overcome the fear of being left alone. Bonnie has a boxer named Bella, who whines, cries, and becomes destructive whenever Bonnie leaves the house. We started with an online assessment to determine the severity of the problem and the length of time Bella could be left alone. From there, we established a daily practice schedule using an app called Be Right Back. Bella’s baseline was 2 minutes, but now she can be left alone for approximately five and a half minutes. Your friends always have their dogs with them. Kindly ask them if their dog ever goes out without them. If they say, "I can't leave him at home alone because he whines and cries," tell them about Good Dog Happy Owner Dog Training; we can help their dog feel happy alone.
