Monty

Monty originally came to me for puppy classes and was fabulous throughout his course – picking things up very quickly! 

As he got older, it became clear that Monty was struggling with separations from his owners – and from his mum in particular. This was causing problems at work, as Monty goes to work with mum and would cry and work himself up whenever she had to leave him to go to a meeting. 

We worked together over the course of two 1:1 sessions at home to help Monty with his anxieties. We established that rather than having true isolation distress, Monty was actually suffering from frustration/FOMO when he wasn’t with his owners, which is very common in young dogs.

We looked at how to make sure Monty’s needs were being met day to day through enrichment and scent work; how to get him having fun on independent tasks and how to show Monty that he wasn’t missing out on anything fun when mum & dad were out the room. 

Now, Monty is happy to be left without his mum and is able to happily settle with other people when he’s in the office. A great result for Monty!
