Dog with Separation Anxiety Helped with a Simple Change

Posted onAuthorElaine Garley3 Comments

I met Martha Hoffman of Robbinsdale, Minnesota at book reading a few months ago. Martha told me about her dog, Barry White, who tore up a crate and other items due to separation anxiety. The simple suggestion I gave her resulted in her dog with separation anxiety helped!

I received this email with Martha’s success story:

Barry White, dog with separation anxiety helped with a simple change.

Barry White

“Elaine, I am the person you met at the reading in Wayzata for Alan and Linda Anderson’s book [A Dog Named Leaf]. I just had to tell you how your comment that day really helped me with my new rescue dog who had bad separation anxiety. You told me to talk to him and tell him where I was going, what time I would be back and that he is my forever dog and has nothing to worry about.

Within 2 days all his anxiety was gone – no need for a crate, he is a new dog!! The trainer at his obedience class asked me “what happened to him?” – I said “what do you mean?” – she said “He is a different dog, he is in love with you”!!!

I wanted to thank you for this and also comment on the advice in your [Animal Bridges] latest newsletter regarding Change Your Mind. That advice has helped me on all levels with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. I realized how I had a negative mindset toward what I considered their irritating bad habits. It is already going so much better even in one day!! More peace in my home!!

You are so good at what you do Elaine and I just had to thank you!!”

Thanks Martha!

  1. I’m always telling my bunnies that I’ll be back and for approximately how long I’ll be away. I’m guessing this method works for all animals. Makes me wonder if they know that I’m later than I thought I’d be. They’re both rescues.

    1. Thanks Heather for sharing about your bunnies. Yes, I find all animals really like this information. I once told a injured wild bird I would be back in an hour and it waited for me. I touched it and then it flew off!

  2. Elaine! It is Martha – Barry White’s mom!! Thanks so much for sharing Barry’s story!! I got tears in my eyes thinking back to those days. Barry continues to do GREAT!! All my animals are now getting clear communications about my comings and goings and they are calm and happy! Thanks again, Elaine!
