Is your dog struggling when you leave home... or are they trying to tell you something deeper?
Separation anxiety is one of the most talked-about behaviour concerns in the dog world, but what does it actually mean?
In this episode, Kim and Neri explore a listener question about why some dogs struggle to cope when left alone and why the answer often lies far beyond simply teaching a dog to "get used to it."
Together, they discuss emotional security, relationships, and what dogs may be communicating through behaviours such as barking, pacing, destruction or vocalising when their family leaves.
In Debunk a Myth, they unpack the long-standing advice that you should always eat before your dog to show them who's boss. Where did this belief come from, and does it have any place in our understanding of dogs today?
This episode invites listeners to see separation anxiety through a completely different lens—one built on understanding rather than control.
