Malena DeMartini Webinar Series: Separation Anxiety, Prevention, Troubleshooting

A Dive into Separation Anxiety

In this webinar, we will begin with an overview of separation anxiety, look into how to work with the issue, and then take a dive into the various parameters that make up data tracking. We will discuss the following:

• What separation anxiety is and is not including a discussion on causation
• Some discussion on prevailing myths
• The treatment protocols for separation anxiety
• A review of the data that drives separation anxiety decision making

Saturday March 12, 2022 – 11am to 12:30pm EST (USA and Canada)

Separation Anxiety Prevention

With the combination of the pandemic and the tremendous increase in newly acquired puppies and dogs in the past two years, there has been a new focus on prevention of separation anxiety. In this webinar we will discuss the following:

• Prevention, optimization, and preparation for alone time
• The two buckets of alone time training
• A changing world and what impact that may have on separation-related behaviors in terms of resilience and bounce back

Saturday April 16, 2022 – 11am to 12:30pm EST (USA and Canada)

Unique Cases in Separation Anxiety

More than almost any other behavior issue, it is imperative that we look at separation anxiety as a study of one. Each and every dog is an individual and will present uniquely in their symptoms, will have different environmental influences, and even have distinctly different guardians. In this webinar we will discuss the nuances of cases and include the following:

• Seniors, noise-sensitive dogs, puppies, and dogs with multiple behavior issues
• The role of medical issues on separation-related behaviors
• Adjusting parameters based on the dog

Saturday May 7, 2022 – 2:30pm to 4pm EST (USA and Canada) Please note that this is webinar time is different from the other two.

These webinars are suitable for veterinary professionals, animal trainers, animal behaviorists, shelter and rescue staff and volunteers, and anyone with an interest in evidence-based behavior intervention.
