Separation anxiety is a two-way street, and sometimes it’s harder to fix in people than it is in dogs. You cannot let emotion cloud your judgment, and you need to start practicing separating yourself from your dog immediately. There are so many moments in your life where you’re not gonna be able to be directly next to your dog, whether it’s you going out with your spouse for an evening date, taking a trip to visit family, or just going out for a mental health walk without your dog. Teach your dog that it’s OK to not be directly next to you. Just so you know, you don’t actually have to leave your house to create separation. If you work from home all day long, make sure that you separate yourself from your dog so they don’t develop an unhealthy attachment.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #dogtraining #ilovedogs #dogwalking #puppy #love #doggydaycare #doglovers #dogoftheday #puppiesofinstagram #cute #pets #doggo #doggiedaycare #dogsofinstagram #dog #dogstagram #doglife #pet #dogs #dogsitter #dogsofinsta #dogdaycare #puppylove #dogboarding #puppies #instadog #doglover #dogphotography #petsofinstagram

Your dog shouldn’t be jumping and biting when you bring a toy out. They should respect your space, and respect the toy as well. Your word “get it” or whatever phrase you’re using to initiate play, means start. #animal #Nashville #Pittsburgh #Cincinnati #DMV #Dog #DogTrainer #RescueDog #Rescue #DogTraining #DogLife #DogLove #DogMom #dogdad You should be able to control your dogs space around ✅ Food ✅ Toys ✅ Most importantly You!

Does your dog ever settle down? ⬇️ No, your dog does not have ADHD. No your overexcited puppy does not need medication. How often do you practice having your dog “do nothing”? If you don’t practice how can they master the ability to be calm? This is not a concept I would only use on my walks, but I would frequently use these inside my house as well! Don’t be afraid to put a leash on your dog, and just say for right now, in these next 10 to 15 minutes, we’re going to learn that doing nothing is doing something. Your dog doesn’t always need something to do, or some new crazy enrichment game. This is good practice for kids and adults too. Who does something like this? What are your thoughts? ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #animal #animals #dog #doggo #doglife #doglove #doglover #doglovers #dogmodel #dogmom #dogofinstagram #dogoftheday #dogphotography #dogs_of_instagram #dogslife #dogsofig #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstaworld #dogworld #hund #ilovemydog #pets #petsofinstagram #petstagram #pup #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #puppygram #puppylife #puppylove

Who loves their dog crate? A crate is one of the best ways to teach a puppy to regulate their emotions, and can be used for the same process with adult dogs that are struggling with behavioral issues too! Do you love or hate the crate?

No no to the couch if your dog doesnt listen to your personal space boundaries?
