Humans have a long history of co-habiting successfully with dogs. However, there appears to have recently been an explosion of separation-related problems among dogs living with their carers in the industrialized world.

In this seminar Daniel will take a critical look at the issue of separation anxiety in dogs.  The behavioural signs that make up this problem clearly come from many potentially different forms of emotional arousal which arise when a dog is left alone.  Distinguishing and understanding these is key to the appropriate management of individual dogs presenting with these problems.

This seminar will include some of our latest research on this and also the role of the behaviour of the owner in the emergence of these problems.
