PROFESSIONALS USE TO ADDRESS

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SNORTS
THAT MADE ME WANT TO SNORT WITH
HIM.
HIM.
HIM. >>
HIM. >> THAT COMES WITH A FRIEND TO.
>> SO THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM FOR
PETS AND HUMANS BECAUSE WE KNOW
THAT OUR DOGS ARE SUFFERING.
WE REALLY NEED TO ADDRESS IT.
>> IT IS A REALLY BIG PROBLEM.
ONE IN SEVEN DOGS HAS
SEPARATION ANXIETY.
SEPARATION ANXIETY. THAT'S ABOUT $13 MILLION JUST
IN THE U.S. ALONE.
IT IS REALLY TOUGH FOR THE
OWNER AND IT IS REALLY TOUGH
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE COME
HOME TO DESTROYED HOMES.
THEY ARE CHEWING THROUGH WALLS,
THEY ARE HANDLING ALL DAY LONG
SO NEIGHBORS ARE COMPLAINING.
YOU CAN GET EVICTED BECAUSE OF
SEPARATION ANXIETY SYMPTOMS.
>> IT IS A REALLY BIG DEAL AND
IF YOU HAVE TO WORK ALL DAY IT
IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT IN TERMS OF YOUR
DOG AND YOUR ACCESS TO COMPANY
AND ALL OF THAT.
>> SO LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT
SOME OF THE SIGNS TO LOOK FOR.
WE ALL KNOW THAT DOGS WILL
CHOOSE SOMETHING NOW AND THEN.
THAT IS ONE THING BUT THIS
VIDEO KIND OF TELLS US MORE.
>> THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN WE
CAN TELL THEY ARE FROM ANXIETY
BECAUSE THEY TEND TO HAPPEN
ONLY WHEN YOU ARE GONE SO
THINGS LIKE EXCESSIVE BARKING
WHERE THEY CANNOT CALM DOWN.
CHEWING AND ESCAPE BEHAVIORS OR
DESTROYING THINGS LIKE A
MATTRESS LIKE YOU CAN SEE THERE.
OTHER SMALLER SYMPTOMS THAT
PEOPLE MAY NOT REALIZE LIKE
EXCESSIVE GREETINGS WHEN YOU
GET HOME.
GET HOME.
GET HOME. POTTY ACCIDENTS IN AN OTHERWISE
HOUSE TRAINED DOG OR EVEN SELF-
HARM.
HARM.
HARM. SOME DOGS WILL LICK THEMSELVES
UNTIL THEY BLEED BECAUSE THEY
ARE SO STRESSED OUT.
IT'S LIKE HAVING A PANIC ATTACK.
>> IF YOU THINK YOUR DOG IS
GOING THROUGH SEPARATION
ANXIETY WHAT IS STEP ONE.
>> YOU WANT TO CONNECT WITH
YOUR VETERINARIAN AND A
CERTIFIED DOG TRAINER.
HAVING THAT SUPPORT GROUP TO
HELP YOU THROUGH IT IS REALLY
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. ON OUR WEBSITE WE HAVE A GREAT
RESOURCE THAT ACTUALLY GOES
THROUGH THE DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS
IF YOU THINK YOUR DOG MIGHT
HAVE IT TO RATE THE SEVERITY
LEVEL.
LEVEL.
LEVEL. YOU CAN ASK YOUR NEIGHBORS OR
SET UP VIDEO MONITORING TO GET
AN IDEA OF THE SYMPTOMS AND HOW
BAD THEY ARE.
THAT QUIZ WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH
AND TALK ABOUT OTHER POSSIBLE
REASONS YOUR DOG MAY BE PARKING
, UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
THAT CAN BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE
ANXIETY, BUT YOU WANT TO
CONNECT WITH A TRAINER.
>> MARSHALL IS REALLY TELLING
US WHAT IS UP.
>> HE IS AND HE HAS SEPARATION
ANXIETY THAT WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON WITH GREAT SUCCESS.

SOMETHING AND YOUR QUIZ IS A
GREAT WAY TO START GETTING A
QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF WHAT
IS GOING ON SO THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT TO DO.

TODAY THAT MAY HELP.
YOU CAN KIND OF GO UP FROM HERE
BUT THESE ARE GOOD WAYS TO
START.
START.
START. >>
START. >> WHAT A TRAINER WILL START
YOU WITH THIS FIGURING OUT SOME
MANAGEMENT OPTIONS.
MANAGEMENT OPTIONS. A LOT OF THESE THINGS ARE NOT
NECESSARILY WHAT WE WOULD
CONSIDER TREATMENT.
CONSIDER TREATMENT. THEY WILL NOT SOLVE THE ANXIETY
ON THEIR OWN.
THEY WILL MAKE YOUR DOG FEEL
BETTER WHEN THEY ARE ALONE AND
HELP THEM FEEL CALMER BUT IT
WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ANXIETY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HEARD
ABOUT ANXIETY WRAPS OR
PHEROMONES.
PHEROMONES. THOSE CAN REALLY HELP TO CALM
THEM DOWN WITH THE PRESSURE
ALONG THE BODY.
SO THAT CAN HELP A LOT OF DOGS.
ESPECIALLY LIKE YOU MENTIONED A
DOG WITH NOISE ANXIETY. THOSE
CAN ALSO HELP IN SOME CASES
WITH SEPARATION ANXIETY.
OTHER THINGS INCLUDE LEAVING
STUFFED TOYS THAT WILL KEEP
THEM BUSY WHILE YOU WERE GONE.
>> YOU DO NOT WANT JUST A TREAT
BUT THINGS THAT WILL LAST FOR A
WHILE.
WHILE.
WHILE. >>
WHILE. >> YOU JUST TOOK A TUMBLE.
>> YOU CAN HAVE SOME WET FOOD
AND TREATS TO FREEZE IT AND IT
WILL LAST FOR A LONG TIME.
>> WHAT IS THIS?
THE, K-9 ANXIETY TREATMENT.
>> WHAT THIS IS IT IS IS A DRUG-
FREE OPTION.
FREE OPTION. A LOT OF MY CLIENTS WHEN THEY
ARE DEALING WITH ANXIETY THEY
WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM
PHARMACEUTICALS AND
PHARMACEUTICALS AND PRESCRIPTION MEDS WHICH CAN BE
REALLY HELPFUL IN A LOT OF
CASES.
CASES.
CASES. SOME DOCS NEEDED AND FOR THE TO
TREAT THE ANXIETY.
PRESCRIPTIONS CAN HELP BUT I AM
EXCITED ABOUT THIS DRUG-FREE
OPTION.
OPTION.
OPTION. THIS IS TARGETED
ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE
ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE TECHNOLOGY.
TECHNOLOGY. YOU DO NOT FEEL IT.
IT IS ON NOW.
YOU CAN SEE IT LINKING.
WHAT IT DOES IS IT IT IS
TARGETING THE AMYGDALA AND THE
BRAIN.
BRAIN.
BRAIN. IT
BRAIN. IT IS BRINGING THE CHEMICALS
INTO BALANCE IN HELPING THE DOG
STAY WHAT WE CALL UNDER
THRESHOLD.
THRESHOLD. THEY ARE ABLE TO COPE WITH THE
LIVING MUCH BETTER.
THAT MEANS THAT THE TREATMENT
STICKS IN THEIR BRAIN BETTER
AND THEY LEARN FASTER.
>> THIS ACTUALLY WORKS?
>> YES THERE ARE GREAT STUDIES
BEHIND IT.
BEHIND IT. THE PILOT STUDY HAS SOME
WONDERFUL RESULTS THAT GOT ME
REALLY EXCITED.
REALLY EXCITED. IT'S BASED ON TECHNOLOGY USED
IN HUMANS FOR ANXIETY AND ALL
OF THOSE.
OF THOSE.
OF THOSE. HARVARD DID A GREAT STUDY FOR
PEOPLE WITH DEPRESSION AND SAW
THAT THIS TECHNOLOGY REALLY
HELPED THOSE PEOPLE OUT.
SO THEY BROUGHT IT INTO THE DOG

IS MARSHALL DOING WELL WITH
THIS PROGRAM?
