What is Soul Touched by Dogs about?
20-minute interviews with "Pawsome Humans", people who do great work for dogs and their people to celebrate the human-canine connection and advocate for holistic approaches to canine health, well-being and education. Here is how you know if it's for you: One look into a dog's eyes touches your soul. No words needed. You don't see mini-humans, toys, or tools, but wise teachers worth respect & care. You see your dog(s) as soulful beings, finely tuned into your emotions. And you love to take care of and learn from them. To you, a dog is not just a pet, not a fashion accessory, not a toy for the kids, not a tool. Your dog is your companion, your wisest teacher. Most regular dog training methods don't make sense to you. You're not looking to control your dogs. You want to cultivate the trust and connection that allows a dog to relax and be easy to live with. You're always on the lookout for holistic approaches to nutrition and health for your dog(s). You're the person who goes home early from a party, to not leave the dog(s) alone for too long. 😛 You might find that friends and family don't really understand what dogs mean to you. I created Soul Touched by Dogs because I want you to feel understood, to nourish your dog-loving soul with inspiring stories about the beauty and wisdom of dogs, helpful tips, resources and recommendations.

Rosee Riggs - Understanding and Managing Separation Anxiety
Soul Touched by Dogs
08/04/24 • 35 min
In this episode, I had a heartfelt conversation with Rosie, a British canine behavior advisor based in Austria, about her specialized work in helping dogs with separation anxiety. Rosie shared her journey into this field, driven by her passion for understanding and addressing the emotional needs of dogs, especially those with fear and trauma backgrounds. We delved into the signs of separation anxiety, misconceptions, and ineffective advice that dog owners often receive. Rosie emphasized the importance of gradual desensitization and the role of professional guidance in effectively managing this complex issue. Her insights are invaluable for any dog owner struggling with a distressed pet, highlighting that it's not their fault and that there is effective help available.

02:44 Understanding Separation Anxiety in Dogs
04:58 Recognizing Symptoms of Separation Anxiety
11:20 Common Misconceptions and Ineffective Solutions
17:40 Effective Strategies for Managing Separation Anxiety
21:02 The Importance of Professional Help
27:54 Final Thoughts and Contact Information
A note from Rosee:
"I’ve been a canine behavior advisor since 2012. Around that time, I adopted a retired racing greyhound who could only stay at home with me. He freaked out even if I left him with someone else he knew.
So I know first hand what a challenge it is to live with a dog suffering from this phobia.
Meanwhile, I’ve have studied on three full trainer education courses. Over the years, I have helped many dogs cope better in our human world. Increasingly, I specialized in anxious, fearful and traumatised dogs, and those from a background of deprivation.
So it was a natural progression to do a further intensive course qualifying me as a Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Behavior Consultant.
Now, I am humbled and privileged to teach many compassionate and dedicated clients from all over the world to train their dogs to feel safe and happy home alone.
I invite you to reach out to me for a discovery call so I can help you and your dog too.
Rosee
