A treasure chest of ideas for keeping your dog happy in your absence, this booklet can help prevent and treat both minor and severe behavioral problems related to dogs being "home alone." Clear and understandable, this easy to read booklet is written for anyone who wants to leave the house knowing that their dog is happy and their house is safe. Customer Reviews: 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Great book about separation anxiety, 2008-06-28 This is an excellent book...The author is very straightforward and doesn't waste her time (and the readers) with fluff...Reading this book allowed my husband and I to understand what our dog may be feeling. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Another Home Run for McConnell, 2008-03-24 This is very helpful for anyone who has or is considering getting one of the "velcro" dog breeds, anyone who has a dog and comes home to destruction, anyone who works all day but wants to get a dog...basically anyone who has or wants to get a dog! She starts out by telling you that not all behaviors add up to Separation Anxiety but that any dog can benefit from a little preventative training. I am working on teaching my little velcro buddy how to play by himself and that he doesn't need my attention 100% of the time to be okay. I would recommend anything written by McConnell because a) her books and pamphlets are clear and easy to read with lots of stories to help you visualize what she means and b) because I really like her approach to training your dog. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Good quick read, 2008-03-01 This book is brief and small but I liked that because it contained a lot of good information and gave me some great pointers to do right away. If you want more than this you'd probably need to hire a dog trainer or behaviorist to help you anyway. 1 of 1 found this review helpful: Helped me, 2008-01-18 I bought this because my little rescued Dog has/had Seperation Anxiety and so was trying to read up on anything that I could. It had some useful information. 3 of 3 found this review helpful: Anxiety Relief for Your Dog--and You, 2007-04-19 As with her other "booklet" style guides, Patricia McConnell has managed to cram a vast amount of useful information into a small space. She briefly discusses the causes of separation anxiety, and how to recognize it. The information on what separation anxiety is *not* is invaluable for owners who might be having difficulty distinguishing between true separation anxiety and boredom (a by-product of the dog being understimulated mentally and physically). She then makes a number of suggestions that are straightforward and easy to follow. It is true that some dogs will need more personal assistance in the form of a behavior specialist or veterinary behaviorist, but this guide is a good place to start. - Nicole Wilde, author Help for Your Fearful Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide to Helping Your Dog Conquer His Fears and So You Want to be a Dog Trainer (2nd edition) Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours Buy from Amazon Books from Amazon German Shorthaired Pointers (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) more... buy from Amazon German Shorthaired Pointer (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) more... buy from Amazon German Shorthaired Pointer (Kennel Club Dog Breed Series) more... buy from Amazon A New Owner's Guide to German Shorthaired Pointers (New Owner's Guide To...) more... buy from Amazon Pointer (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) more... buy from Amazon Training A Young Pointer: How The Experts Developed My Bird Dog And Me more... buy from Amazon German Wirehaired Pointers Today (Book of the Breed) more... buy from Amazon German Wirehaired Pointer (Comprehensive Owners Guide) more... buy from Amazon German Shorthaired Pointers Today (Book of the Breed) more... buy from Amazon Pointers more... buy from Amazon The German Shorthaired Pointer: An Owner's Guideto aHappy Healthy Pet (Your Happy Healthy Pet) more... buy from Amazon Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems more... buy from Amazon Be the Pack Leader: Use Cesar's Way to Transform Your Dog . . . and Your Life more... buy from Amazon 101 Dog Tricks: Step by Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog more... buy from Amazon How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With more... buy from Amazon The Other End of the Leash more... buy from Amazon The Art of Raising a Puppy more... buy from Amazon On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming Signals more... buy from Amazon How to Housebreak Your Dog in 7 Days (Revised) more... buy from Amazon It's Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet more... buy from Amazon How to be the Leader of the Pack...And have Your Dog Love You For It.
