New Strategies and Plans for Separation Anxiety
It has now been six years since the release of Malena DeMartini-Price’s best selling first book, Treating Separation Anxiety in Dogs. Not one to rest on her laurels, Malena has been busy teaching and mentoring dog trainers worldwide to become Certified Separation Anxiety Trainers (CSAT). Working in collaboration with a large network of trainers to collect data and conduct research, new strategies have been developed on many of the key elements of treating separation anxiety. Now, in a completely new book, Malena share these strategies for the use of current technologies, no absence management, and improved desensitization techniques. Any trainer or guardian dealing with separation anxiety will find this book a valued resource.
Reviews with the most likes.
I would have liked to see some more concrete examples of what a series of missions might look like. That being said, I can understand the decision to avoid adding anything that someone might attempt to copy blindly rather than tailoring for the dog in front of them.
Overall, I feel much more prepared for separation anxiety cases!
Note: this book is definitely aimed at dog behavior professionals, not the general public.
