Have decided the only way forward with Bessie's separation anxiety is to book a consultation with a behaviourist. There are however few of them in this area.   I was given one by my vet - Carrie Evans who runs Cleveland Clever Canines and another I found on the net is David Holmes of Diamond Dog Behaviour Consultancy, both read well on their websites but am wondering if anyone from this area has used either of them?  Or know of any others around here?

I have came across one and the advice they gave to someone with problems with two bitches fighting was to muzzle them and let them get sort it out. The breeds were Jack Russell and American Bulldog!!!!!

I think most trainers know alot about separation anxiety nowadays.

Oh dear that's a bit worrying was it one of the people I mentioned?
