The tethering issue - we have cats that come out, even with a baby gate, and our dog sometimes hyper fixates on them. We work on leave it etc with tug, flirt pole, etc but when she’s like that sometimes she does not listen at all.

There is a happy middle ground here. If a puppy is beginning to transition from crates gates and pens to moving around the house, there is nothing wrong with spending a short amount of time tethered near their human so that they can be properly supervised. All of the time? Obviously no. But why scare people from using a decent form of short term management by using extreme examples? 🤔

I feel like there is a difference between tethering and having them on leash around the house. I had a pup I felt like I had to tether while I was doing anything around the house otherwise he would be crated all day or knocking over my toddler. I did not have baby gates at that time. 😅 And boy was it hard to cook with a 10 month old husky trying to jerk you everywhere. 10+ years later, with my latest pup, we have a gated community. But I put him on leash to explore the other living areas that aren't puppy safe yet. I don't consider this tethering because I am being attentive and intentional with his exploration of the house. Sometimes I put him in a hot zone in the kitchen, while he is on leash and I make coffee in the morning, but i am not dragging him everywhere. I am attempting to train him to sit in one spot and wait on me until he is free to go into the living room and off leash.

I agree there is usually a happy medium. I tethered a rescue schnoodle to me for 4 months because i never knew what might cause her to bolt. She is almost 4 with no separation anxiety and very independent, had not bolted for years and has recall like a rocket. With my Aussie puppy i am just keeping a house line on him. At 4 months he had not chewed or done anything that he shouldnt but i waited another month before he had free run of the house. I think when they are in close vicinity all the time with a house line, you can teach them house manners way faster than having them penned or crated. My Aussie was house trained in a few days and slept through the night at 10 weeks. My schnoodle was out her crate in 5 days and sleeping on the bed and she never had an accident after that. I also have a schnauzer that i did not use a house line or tether her - did the crate and pen - she took months to house train and had separation anxiety until at 5 months I ditched the crate and put a crib cover on our bed. She never went in the house again and she did not cry everytime we left her. She was the first dog i decided i would do everything right like consistent crate training and using a pen for an extended period of time and I had the worst results of all the dogs i have ever had. I know many trainers say they love their crates but i have never been able to buy into that. When i get a puppy i know my life is on hold for 3 or 4 months. By then they have earned their freedom and so have I.

I keep a house line on my Aussie puppy but it not attached to me. That way i never have to chase him. He does not have separation anxiety and is very independent. He was in whatever room I am so he can be supervised. As he has proven himself at 5 months he now has run of the house but mostly chooses the room that I am in as do all my other dogs.

Unfortunately, when I adopted my dog 8 years ago, I didn't know what separation anxiety was. He had it though. He barked excessively the entire time I was away and wouldn't let me leave his side. We're still dealing with the effects of my lack of knowledge and he'll be on anxiety meds the rest of his life.

@@DogsThat I've seen the video. It's a good one and I've recommended it to some folks. At this point with my dog, it's been at least 8 of developing anxious patterns in his brain though. Home is a comfortable place for him and he's able to relax most of the time now. However, he just has an underlying anxiety disorder now and has a higher quality of life with a little medication intervention.

Sadly, there are people who have no clue about bonding with their pup. So many dogs end up in shelters because of their stupidity and selfishness.

Found you. I beg a question, a rescue is going to die. I adopted two dogs with trauma, before KZitemr. Would have loved to had you to help, but took suggestions from many. A kinda friend adopted a 4 year old with horrible behavior. I’ve been begging him to learn from others and helping with training. Micki is going to run away. He doesn’t work with her at all, I keep suggesting KZitem channels to learn. His excuse it takes time she was traumatized. I took two years ago, and trauma can be overcome. What do I do? The owner expects me as an elder to train his dog and do nothing himself. Please help.

I just bought my puppy home last night and she keeps howling and yelling like someone is just chopping her arm off. I don’t know what to do in these instances. Her breed we said to just pick her up, but I’m scared of creating separation anxiety. I tried to see if she’s interested in toys, she not interested in snack , I don’t think she finds me fun lol. What do you do in these instances?

Sounds like she's already stressed about being alone. I'd recommend soothing her. When she's calm again, try giving her a kong or food stuffed toy, nearby, but not on top of you, then leave her for a few minutes. If she cries a little, that's okay. It's important for her to learn to self-regulate. Only thing I'd recommend avoiding is letting her go into full blown panic mode, and then coming back and smothering her.

@@Jamie-813 actually this will sound weird, but I don’t have a problem with her sleeping through out the night. It’s mostly during the day when I’m not in her field of vision that she cries out like that.
