Bob was recently interviewed by world-renowned dog trainer and television personality (It’s Me or the Dog) Victoria Stilwell on the complexities of canine separation anxiety. He shared his own journey from originally avoiding cases of separation anxiety early in his career, to becoming a certified expert years later. He discusses how separation anxiety is often misunderstood as misbehavior or stubbornness, instead highlighting it as an involuntary and intense fear response. By likening this anxiety to human phobias, he invites us to view affected dogs with compassion and patience.
