   A lifesaver!
   There is so much bad advice on the internet for separation anxiety. You know the whole “once you get the 30 minutes – you can start leaving your dog all day!” or “just give them a kong stuffed with peanut butter” or “don’t come back until your dog has stopped crying!” – I tried all this stuff and my dog only got worse. I couldn’t even go to the bathroom by myself in the middle of the night – I had to bring my dog with me or else it was instant panic and destruction.Enter Julie’s book. This book is so well written and explains separation anxiety and WHY the methods mentioned above just don’t work for dogs who suffer from true separation anxiety. This book and Julie’s fb group along with her trainers who moderate have truly changed my dog’s life (and mine!). Julie is realistic about what a difficult condition this is to treat and doesn’t give any false promises. However, if you follow her methods you WILL see progress. If you join her fb group, you will also get encouragement from others (those with dogs also going through the program and certified trainers). Connecting with this community has made me feel so much less alone and I love seeing other dogs making progress! I can’t thank Julie enough for making her methods so affordable and accessible (I looked into hiring a trainer before I bought Julie’s book. Many trainers won’t work with SA dogs and those that do charge around $800 per month).Those looking for a quick fix – you’re not going to find one. There is no quick fix for separation anxiety. Please save yourself from the agony my dog and I went through in the beginning and just skip straight to getting this book. The journey to treating separating anxiety is a long one that takes dedication and consistency. It requires so much patience but it is SO worth it when you see you dog begin to relax in your absence. I love watching my dog’s confidence grow and it’s been thanks to this book and the journey it’s taken us on!!

   After just one week I see progress
   I’ve had 6 months of guilt, feeling like her separation anxiety was somehow my fault. After being recommended to buy this book in a Facebook group I’m in, this significantly changed my demeanor toward, and knowledge to overcoming my pup’s separation anxiety. Within just one week of leaving my dog for seconds at a time, randomizing the amount of time, slowly increasing how many seconds she’s left, I’ve see a 100% increase in the time she’s been able to be alone. In seconds, this means we’ve gone from 30 seconds to 60 seconds. Which doesn’t seem like much, but when you look at the statistic (100% increase in time left alone) that’s amazing. For the first time in 6 months of owning my rescue, I have hope. So what I recommend to you is to buy the book, read it cover to cover, expect to re-define your spontaneity and freedom for a few months, keep a journal of your actions and your dogs progress, and do the hard work. You’ll be a happier human and you’ll absolutely have a happier pup. GOOD LUCK TO US ALL and know you can do hard things 🙂

   Great book, glad I “wasted my money” (was not a waste!)
   Long review/possible rant ahead. This book, along with Julie’s Heroes membership she mentions in the book (which includes the very supportive Facebook group) has been a Godsend. My sweet pooch was adopted last September and I found out quickly he had seapration anxiety (SA), so I went to a local trainer, Alie in Lawrenceville GA, overall a waste of $$. I ended up putting my dog on anxiety meds (and no this does not drug him🙄) which, along with ditching the crate and utilizing Julie’s method has made all the difference. He’s up to 2 1/2 hours after 9 very long months. SA training is emotionally exhausting and just hard!! I am a single dog owner and have passed on social events while training him, along with taken him with me prior to warm weather to appointments, etc. Thankfully I found a dog sitter and an inexpensive day boarding place to help out. But I don’t have unlimited $$ and time. My point is this slow, gradual desensitization will work on the majority of dogs but it takes time. I get annoyed with the criticisms of Julie saying not to leave your dog alone while training b/c I know how freaking hard and inconvenient that is. If I can do it most anyone can. And I absolutely recommend anxiety medication. Meds alone likely won’t be as effective as when combined with the training.

   Best book on the topic for dog owners
   I am a rescuer, and many of the dogs we get have been abandoned or have lost their families thru no fault of their own. I try to help adopters make their new dog feel safe and secure, so I give them lots of info. Most books on this topic are written by trainers and seem a little overwhelming to adopters (i.e., they end up not reading them). This book is written from the perspective of a dog owner, for other dog owners, so it’s perfect. I expect I will be buying many more copies of this book to send home with the doggies.

   This book really works
   I adopted a senior dog during COVID and she became hyper-attached and developed separation anxiety when we moved. Even at 11 years old this book has helped me no longer feel trapped in my home with an anxious dog. After about 3 months of working with trainers, my vet, and the methods of this book, my dog’s progress has accelerated immensely. Never give up on working with your dog; read this book and stay consistent. It does wonders!
