Separation Anxiety: How to Help Your Dog
As our state begins to open back up, many of us are going back to work. It is important to start preparing your dog!
Certified Behavior Consultant, Laurie Schlossnagle of Side by Side Dog Training, will be discussing schedules, mental stimulation, teaching relaxation, crate training, and more. We will also be able to take some of your questions about Separation Anxiety.
