No, There Isn’t a Quick Fix for Separation Anxiety – And Here’s Why That’s a Good Thing

If you’ve ever found yourself googling “how to fix my dog’s separation anxiety fast,” you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions I get as a trainer and certified SA Pro Behaviour Consultant. But here’s the kicker, there isn’t a quick fix. And actually? That’s a really good thing.

In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, I share exactly why quick fixes don’t work, and why the right approach does. We unpack the myth of instant solutions, look at the real emotional roots of separation-related behaviours, and talk about how ethical, science-based training using desensitisation helps dogs feel safe, not just act quiet.

Whether your dog barks the second you leave, destroys the front door trying to follow you, or simply can’t settle alone, this episode is for you. You’ll come away with practical insights, plenty of reassurance, and a reminder that slow and steady isn’t a failure, it’s the path to success.
