Cesar Explains How To Fix Separation Anxiety With Your Dog

Hello, my name is Season Mulan and today we are going to talk about one of the most common side effects that dogs suffer in 2020 around the world and it is called

separation

anxiety

, of course, I want to talk about how dogs develop

separation

anxiety

. And of course, how can we help? Now let's start our training. Remember I don't train dogs, I train humans, so let's understand when dogs live in their own natural habitat with their own kind with a pack of dogs with their mom, dad, aunts and everyone. otherwise

your

family are always together they are always together they are always following someone or they are always waiting with someone then they are all they are never alone and they are always following so they never have this understanding They have to live separately okay so when a dog being with someone is his tendency, his natural tendency is wherever the human goes, he follows whatever the human stays with, he stays wherever humans live, he sleeps with it, so the next thing he rests is always staying. together, for a dog that natural way of being is to follow someone always and be with someone always, so we have to take that into account to understand where it comes from, so by coming and living with us, sometimes we practice a lifestyle different. we don't need or we can't have someone following us children our spouses our moms we actually practice separation because we practice a completely different lifestyle we go to work we go to school uh we go to church we go to the beach and sometimes we don't want that person or a dog can follow us to that environment, so it is not natural for them to not follow someone and not be with someone, that is what makes them friends because they will follow us to the end of the earth and they will stay with us even if we don't have a home, so we literally leave the dogs inside the house what the human goes to work he goes to school he goes to travel he leaves then the dog always goes inside the house, so think about it, the dog has lived in quarantine for a long period of time now with cover 19 we all live in this lifestyle of being inside a place where dogs have lived that way for a long period of time but for a dog it is natural It's natural to be with

your

family 24/7 if you go to the bathroom they follow you if you go to the kitchen they follow you so no matter where you go it's like a shadow there with you they want to stay with you no matter what what you are doing if you are stretching if you are walking if you are running inside the house if you are resting if you are sleeping they want to be right there with you, that is natural, so this coven 19 has united to survive, which for a dog is natural, for us it has become unnatural, so I think it is very important to understand it because once this quarantine is lifted, then we will be gone. go back to what's natural for us because that's the only way we can really buy food, water, pay our house rent or mortgage or whatever is right, so it's food, water, shelter and family, so those are the four things that we have to be careful about, how we do it, we go to work, so a dog is not going to work with us unless it's a service dog, but most dogs should stay inside the home, so they're going to get into this. separation anxiety once again and it's going to be much more dramatic this time because for months a dog has been living under this unrealistic lifestyle for us, so something to keep in mind, not to alarm you, it's just to make you understand, for me, it's about uh, if you understand where they're coming from, you can practice patience, you can practice creativity, you can practice strategy, you can practice using the right energy, you know, you can practice, exercise things that I'm going to share with you. in order. so that they do not develop separation anxiety.

Now that we know why dogs that live with us in this lifestyle we live are more likely to develop separation anxiety if we understand this natural way of living, how do we help them live with us? and this unnatural lifestyle of living together and then separating, you know, because we have to do that from our parents, from our children, from our home, from anything, they really live with us, so we know, but that It is a conscious decision we make. We don't do it consciously, so we have to help them exchange this natural lifestyle that is for them, help them live this unnatural thing, but it has to feel natural, so how do we do it?

This is what I need you to do, I need you to tell how. many times your dog follows you throughout the day, it's okay, so if you walk to the bathroom, count it if you go to the living room, count it if you go by the counter in your room, if you go to the door counter, there are a delivery of everything. If it's 20 times, it's only 20 times it's 30 times it's 30 times I just need you to count it because it's very important that you know how many times your dog followed you throughout the day. It's part of the strategy that I want to teach you once you know how many times you follow your dog throughout the day I want you to cut that in half and that's when we come to training a dog to start experiencing a separation but naturally now we're going to help our dogs. understanding separation from this moment on will mean peace, love, calm, a challenge, so we will make sure you have fun while practicing this separation activity, so the easiest way to teach a dog the art of separation is that you need a reference point.

I'm going to show you, with Sophia, how a landmark can become the place where a dog can go to a happy place where a dog can go to a calm place where a dog can go. a resting place or a place to sleep so it's very important for them to know that this reference point will give them something and that's why the separation has to happen so that they really do it as a game so two things I want You have to be very clear, okay, because you need to visualize what you are going to do before you do it so that your dog knows that you have something in mind and you are sure that you are going to make it happen and it calms him down. back is extremely important, right, it is part of your tools, your energy, your strategy and your tools that are going to help your dog see this activity of detaching, not following, being alone, having self-confidence, having self-control, adequate self-discipline so that they can I understand that this activity unnatural is fun and it became natural so I have this bag of treats on purpose so I want you to see what a dog's nature is like when you have something that smells really good or even without this you know your dog will follow you around the house, so I just want you to see that the nature of a dog following you, no one puts a leech inside a house on a dog because they know the dog will follow them, okay, so come.

Here the reference point Hey guys, the reference point will help you because you are going to start associating staying there to do a task staying there to separating, that is, start following you and start staying alone there, the reference point is. I'm going to give you access to start teaching your dog that following you is not a bad thing, waiting for you is not a bad thing, so come back, so never call the dog once you are teaching him to stay on the waypoint , so you need to do this in different places in the house, so that when she sees the landmark, which eventually may be a bed, may be a rug, may be a small mark, whatever it may be, they know that when you point out that they are supposed to go there because a landslide is going to happen and then they have to wait so that way they understand that you are setting up the house so that they understand how things work properly so you can use the reference point before entering the kitchen it gives you a distance it is the distance we are looking for it is the things that follow you that we are looking for, but if they see it they will win something and at the same time participate, a dog will always be willing to do what whatever makes you happy, whatever makes you feel clear, whatever makes you feel safe, whatever creates this joy, this love, this, you know, this understanding, you don't always know.

If you have to give him a treat, you can just give him affection in a calm way, because when you want a dog to really understand separation, you always want to reward him with calm, silence, gentleness, with the understanding that you want relaxation. and go back to the right separate anxiety what does it mean is a confused mind that makes the body tense and that's why the mind is confused and the body stops, you're going to hear sounds, so it's just them letting out the energy, but we want the mind to be clear and the body to be relaxed and that's how they're going to understand that they need to stay there as you move forward so practice this like I say if 20 times do this 10 times or throughout the day so that they have a reference point that have had. they understand each other throughout the day sometimes I follow the human to the kitchen sometimes the human challenges me not to follow them to the kitchen but it gives me something to do as long as they exchange activities that they will be willing to do whatever it takes to keep alive to that team, that living pack, that living family and you understand, you get that focus, you get the feeling that we are doing this together and when you leave, just leave calmly, with confidence, leave that energy behind, leave the trust. that your dog will stay there she's a good girl even in the reward the reward you know she doesn't have to be super excited by the sound she can be super excited by the smell so it's okay remember to never call your dog from the landmark because you are teaching separation and you are going to reward waiting and calm so you are going to reward that they are not following you and you are going to reward that they are waiting for you alone that is the reward why you are rewarding you are not rewarding that you are not you are not rewarding that they are by lying down you are not rewarding that they did not follow you and you are rewarding them they are expecting that is what you are rewarding, so be clear, understand that you have to feel that they do not have the inclination to follow you and they do not have the inclination not to understand what you they are doing, what you are teaching.

Is this unnatural behavior of not following and being alone not natural? You are going to make it natural because they will understand if they do not follow the human and wait alone. The human is happy. Human rewards human. Affection, the human challenge sees you turning something unnatural into natural, so now, all day long, all day long, all day long, make sure you practice a little separation distance, especially when you are going to open the door. You know, especially let's say you're welcoming, no. too many people because we are practicing social distancing right now, but this is part of separation, right, it is being separated from the door, being separated from following the human to the door, let's say you want to talk to someone through it, this is an activity, she doesn't feel bad because she's not with you, she actually feels good because you're challenging her, yes, and you're making it clear, so when the time comes for us to go back to our unnatural but natural lifestyle going to work , we are going to go to school and earn a living she will be prepared they will be prepared they will understand well, now the human is gone but he will return, but he told me not to follow him and he told me to wait for him to be alone.

There is nothing to worry about and not following it is nothing to worry about. I know what to do, so that's what you want the dog to know. They know what to do by practicing this unnatural thing, but they make it a natural lifestyle. Hello guys, I hope. You learned that the dog develops separation inside them because it is not natural for them to not follow someone or be alone, so now that we know that dogs can learn to separate, have fun, be peaceful and loving, it is a challenge when the human. He returns and asks them to follow him, they can reunite, peace, salvation and love.
