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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Malena's first book on separation anxiety was a game changer, but her newest book, 6 years later, is even better: it is packed with new information, new insights about the principles involved, and backed by solid data. To quote from the final sentence in her book, "...separation anxiety is fixable..." and Malena brilliantly demonstrates how!" - Ken Ramirez, author of The Eye of the Trainer: Animal Training, Transformation, and Trust. Executive VP & Chief Training Officer for Karen Pryor Clicker Training

"Clear, compassionate, data-driven advice about what actually works and what doesnt. A welcome and indispensable resource Ill use often with my own clients." - Kathy Sdao, M.A., author of Plenty in Life is Free: Reflections on Dogs, Training & Finding Grace. Owner of Bright Spot Dog Training

"Rock-solid information on treating this challenging condition, including a superb section on shelter dogs." - Jean Donaldson, author of The Culture Clash. Founder and Director of The Academy for Dog Trainers

An Important Book for Trainers and Behaviorists

Separation anxiety can be a behavioral challenge, and a lot of dog trainers don't necessarily know the or where to start due to outdated information. This book helps to fix that problem. I strongly recommend that all trainer or behavior consultants read this book whether they work with separation anxiety dogs or not (I personally do not take these cases beyond helping the guardians find a CSAT professional). However, this book helps me to help prepare these guardians for what is ahead of them by having a basic understanding of what is going on with these dogs. The only "negative" about the audiobook version is that you can not see the graphs and charts throughout the book so I would strongly recommend getting both the audio and physical book. **edited to add - I didn't listen passed the acknowledgments before I made this review, and you do get access to PDFs of the graphics in the book with the audio version so that is great!!

Missing PDF

There is a lot of information here and the visual PDF that is referred to would be very helpful but it is not available with my download in any place it directs me to. More chapters broken out for more easy navigation to specific protocols would have been helpful.
