Is your dog is struggling with resource guarding, reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety or other behavioral issues?
It's possible that they are also experiencing pain, but their behavior is the only obvious sign.

I pay a lot of attention to how the bogus products that "cure" dog anxiety are marketed. Here is an observation.
eileenanddogs.com/blog/2026/02...
It’s been an exceptionally wet start to the year. Many pet guardians are seeing the impact of that in daily routines, mud, disrupted walks & pets finding the outdoors a bit less predictable. 🎥 In this episode of my Science of Connection micro-series, I explore how weather our pets’ behaviour, etc.👇
Thank you. Really love this - such important info. I also learned that changes in weather & barometric pressure affect the guts and appetites of some animals. I see this with one of my dogs.
I'm very happy to be part of the #PPG #BehaviorTeams initiative. Please join us to build strong, ethical communities of pet pros!
LinkedIn is also running ICE ads.
I asked ChatGPT about treating separation anxiety in dogs. ChatGPT presented things that are science-based AND things not science-based.
Why do I not recommend ChatGPT for dog training advice? Full post:
