My dog follows me inside the house nonstop but I guarantee you if I accidentally let go of his leash he’d run off to the sunset without a second thought 😅
So much for them "following you to the ends of the earth". X
@@dogsareboss that only applies when I’m inside the house apparently haha
Husky? Lol sounds like my husky
@@theweirdcrystalgirl2485 if it’s mine he’s a German shepherd/Labrador mix
Same 😂
I'd like to see this done with a dog that is experiencing separation anxiety already, This dog appears well trained calm & not anxious one bit.
You are 100% right! This was a waste of time! Working with a trained dog to show what the end result should look like is fine for a minute or two. The bulk of this video should be training a dog and its owner that has anxiety issues!!! This was just "Showing Off" a well trained dog. No value!

Google the phrase I posted above. It's an excellent post on how to keep your dog calm by using emotional control exercises. They work really well for separation anxiety.
@@saragotze8466 is there a link you can post? I googled the phrase but I couldn't find anything about dog training.
Agreed
I don't do single dogs anymore. I get so much more out of my dog's love for each other and watching them play. I can leave knowing they are content in each other's company and I return to such a calm, content energy. I'd never go back to having a single dog.
The moment when you realise Cesar Millan is now training millions more humans than dogs.......mind blown!
He always has
He's a dog behaviorist. He never trained dogs. He explains the dog's behavior to humans so they can understand how to communicate with them
Would you say the joke was partly or entirely lost on you? 😂
Sean Briggs finally someone opened humans eyes to the love and dedication dogs give us ❤️
@@princess_reaper He does train dogs. It's just not the core of his job, nor is it the core of any behaviorist. They are specialized in the human to animal relationship, but still are able to train or educate dogs. In a matter of hours actually. The humans are way longer to train and educate that's the issue most behaviourists face lmao
I love how you explain WHY the dog does/feels what he does. It really helps to be more patient with them rather than getting annoyed.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
There’s many people that don’t have patience and just give up.
That’s when you don’t get a pet
Children? You need patience with kids. Same scenario
You can not for any reason in the world miss the video of this sweet kitten

@Nancy Bernard explain it then please
Please do more of these separation video. More with other dogs... not your dogs.
My son’s lab had terrible separation anxiety so I took the easy way out. I bought a huge kennel and adopted him a friend. Now they hang out in the kennel together when we have to leave and he is calm, never tries to bust out or chew up the tray. Ha! Not a solution everyone can use, I know. Worked like magic, though.😅
Thank you for watching! Let me know what you think of the video and what else you would like to learn. Wishing you a week of safe, peace, and love. ❤️
Cesar Millan something I would love help with is easing my dogs fear at the vet. It is the only place she becomes 'rock bottom' level of fearful. Thank you Cesar!!♥️
@@ZP916 I agree with you. We need some instruct on dealing with Vet visit anxiety.
@@ZP916 Have you ever tried visiting the vet, without her getting a treatment? Just go into the waiting room, give her a reward (or even better, if your vet agrees to give her a reward) and then leaving again? Breaking up the routine, that vet means unpleasantness should change their behaviour a lot.
Hi cesar my dog is an emergency case because he has some really bad behaviors that are really dangerous for others dogs and people can you please help me and I called your center and I never got a call back
so helpful, Mr. Millan!! we're going to back to our jobs so we'll leave our dog Morgan alone soon; thanks for training us! 👍🏻
I'm a senior and have a little terrier, I take her with me shopping, and everywhere. 24/7 we are together. Last evening I had to attend a meeting that she was excluded from for approx. 2 hrs. for the first time in over 6 months we were separated. I came home she has scratched at my door and door frame to the point of damaging her paws, it broke my heart and it took me the rest of the evening to calm her down. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
So sorry you had this experience that was so upsetting and made you feel guilty for going out.
Stay strong with your dog ❤❤
Its a sign he loves you
Hi Janet, I Hope you’re okay?! Just curious how have you been getting on with your little terrier I have a Jack Russell terrier too his 10 years old I’ve had him since he was eight weeks old and I’ve always lived at home with my family so there’s always been someone home now I’ve moved out and it’s just me and him when I go to work he cries and barks non-stop :( I have a doggy camera so I can see him he just doesn’t sit still!! I’ve tried leaving the radio on distracting him with toys and chews, tiring him out with walks first and tried to take it in stages leaving him five minutes at a time and nothing seems to work :’( xx
@@sophiealice7999 I actually have the same problem as you! I also have a Jack Russell terrier and he is 9 years old and cries when he is alone in the house when I look through the camera. I've also tried the radio, toys, and lots of exercise, tiring him out. I recently moved out too and my neighbors are starting to complain because of his cries. I live in a small apartment so I don't really have a lot of room to do this exercise with my dog :(
In the 80's -- i.e. before the internet -- I had a dog with separation anxiety, and I hit on the idea of letting her spend the days with a neighbor's young dog who also was unhappy being left alone. I confined them in my kitchen with plenty of water and newspapers on the floor. There was quite the mess to clean up but her big grin when I got home made it all worthwhile. Eventually the neighbor moved away but my dog was cured of her anxiety then so it worked out.
I watched this video in 2020 and taught my dog to be in the reference spot. I followed the video’s instructions and never called him out. It’s 2023 now and my dog is still there. I solved the separation anxiety problems but now I need to know how to get my dog out of there.
I was thinking this watching the video like what if someone’s dog never leaves the spot fr 😂😂😂💀
I reset my relationship with my husky who had separation anxiety after my alpha dog died. Aside from her needs, i Ignored her for 2 weeks and kept her outside my office while I worked. She cried for 2 weeks, but then stopped and I reintroduced myself as her friend while being cautious not to baby her too much so as to have a repeat of behaviour. It worked.
I just wonder if she would feel like a human might feel - and die a little bit inside. Does that sound daft?
@@PamelaWildman-Williams dogs like humans, need to learn how to self soothe. If you always rescue them
When they desire an emotion then they become dependent on you for said needs and never learn on their own. You actually do a tremendous disservice to them. Dogs need to learn how to be alone sometimes because it’s going to happen at some point or another.
@@davem5588 I understand your point and wonder about empathy. I just hope you’re not in the caring or helping professions. No offence intended but I am and see from a different perspective. The ability to Self-soothe comes from a foundation of security. To be honest, the term ‘ a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing’. I sincerely feel concerned about your cold heartedness and absence of empathy. You could be a dangerous person to know.
@@PamelaWildman-WilliamsNo, clearly you don’t understand. You obviously put your own needs before that of your dog. This is typical and often the case with clients in dog training. You seek to cater to your own emotions, thinking you’re helping the dog, but your over sensitivity to your needy emotions blind you from the actual needs of a canine (and child as the psychology is quite similar).
Honestly, you’re absurd and ignorant with regard to basic child/dog psychology. Good luck with that. The rest of your armchair analysis is laughable and far removed from the truth.
Hi Dave, Yes… she goes forward after the trauma. I don’t like to think you are a cold unfeeling person who does not have the capacity for empathy - no - I’m sure you are a good and decent person who simply is on life’s learning curve and who cares about humans and animals. People and certainly animals, are vulnerable to us and people can accidentally bully the weaker … not because they are mean but because they don’t realise. Bless you Dave for being so open and I hope you are encouraged. I wish you every good thing 😀
That Cesar pillow is everything.
But a little disturbing...who made it....?
😂
I don’t think my dogs has the anxiety separation, it’s me.
hahahahahahahaha
Your anxiety is transferred onto the dog, they can sense it
it's like boxing then, go to your corner and wait
It's me too. I love having my dog next to me. I worry about him when I'm not with him
Lol
Really needed this. Just started doing this with him and he’s catching on.
Thank you so much for sharing your great understanding of dogs with everyone. You are gifted and your shows are a blessing!
my favorite dog trainer in the world
Dog psychologist. The first...the only.
Same!!! Or as he would say "Dog walker and human trainer" haha
Edie Brown, PhD yes!! I agree with you
he doesn't train dogs, he trains people. Literally says it in the first few minutes lol
@@devdonedidit i know that but his title is the best dog trainer in the world and he also said that. it's his dream and he made it now. what can you say
Cesar is simply the best. I could listen to him talk about dogs all day.
Me too!! 🙋🏼♀️
I have spent plenty days that way
Me too
He sure is, the best! 😁🐕
Brilliant. Thank you so much 🙏❤️
I left today for one hour, came back to pillows shredded, mattress ripped, mind you, she is a rescue. I will try this method.
How’d it work
@@chelseamensah1732 not
The tips are amazing, but I’m distracted by how much I like that gorgeous home.
Love the dark green sofa!
it would take an army to keep it clean
This is why Cesar is the best. With people slowly transitioning back to their regular schedules, the timing of this video is amazing. Thanks so much!
Joseph Dizon it could not be in a better time frame could it! He is the best
Being so recent and understanding about social distancing and always being home with your dog, the time will come when we do have to go back to our regular lives and our dogs need to understand it better. I learned a lot today and I’ve had dogs my whole life
He’s great.
True. My dog used to be calm when we left for work, now he stays crying a bit behind the door when we leave. 😢
Around 5:15 he starts to talk more about how to start training for separation anxiety. In case if no one wanted to see the intro
Thank you ☺️
Ty. His intro is too long. lol
My Boston has horrible separation anxiety. What I just started this week is giving her a big hollowed out bone with a little peanut butter inside right before I leave and telling her, “ I have to go to work” before I go, so now she’s understanding she gets treat because I’m leaving. I haven’t heard her yelping and barking when I’m outside so I’m hoping she will start understanding.
How long did it take for them to stop whining and bark, my dog starts whining when I leave the room if he’s in his create
@@brycewillis6628 I don’t crate my dog. I don’t believe in that
I just wanted to say that putting a dog in a crate isn’t a bad thing. Dogs are naturally den animals. Hence, if you give them a treat they really relish, they will often take it back to their bed (den). Dogs will often feel anxious if they are left in a large amount of space because they feel they have to protect it. The smallest amount of space they are in,(as long as they can stretch out and stand up without any restriction), makes them actually feel safer. It’s also much easier when it comes to puppy training. Dogs won’t naturally soil their own bed, so the smaller you make the space, the less likely they are to pee in the bed. (den). We have used crates all our 3 dogs over the last 22 years and each one of them has been happy and healthy. This is the first dog we have had one that has really suffered from separation anxiety (he’s only 14 weeks old). I just didn’t want crate training to be demonised as something that is cruel to dogs, actually it is something that makes them feel a lot more secure.
Thank you, Caesar, for such a great video, we have already started implementing this technique, our dog is a cocker spaniel, so he’s a quick learner! We are trying to make the “designated space” the threshold of a room, and his bed (eventually it will be his bed permanently, but like you having multiple tables around, we are using the threshold of a room to create the separation gradually, as Reuben wants to be with my husband constantly, literally, touching! So the fact that we have managed to get him to stay at the threshold of a room and then reward him calmly with affection and reassurance that he is a “good boy“ is a massive achievement. 🙏🤞🐾❤️
My dog is not treat motivated. Treats do nothing when he feels anxious.
@@kyliegirl1976exactly. One trainer was saying how one of the worse things new puppy owners make is giving their pups/dogs too much unsupervised freedom.
A crate should be a pups/dogs safe space anyway. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with crate training so long as it’s no used as a form of punishment. If I can’t physically keep eyes on my pup, I know she’s going to be safe in her crate, which prevents toileting accidents and her getting into something she shouldn’t be.
Holy cow!! It actually worked. My dog has been suffering with separation anxiety for the last few months. She always is chewing on things she’s not supposed to and we have to put her in the crate when we leave. Today we left her out and did your tricks. And for the first time she did nothing! She was laying down on her bed where we left her. Gone for two hours. Thank you so much I appreciate it!!
That is wonderful!
Very encouraging news! I'm so proud of you buddy!!
I am a new dog owner.. but have been taking care of dogs with my family. I currently live on my own and it's been super lonely without anyone... So I decided to get a dog.
This is day 2 and I'm trying to crate train and everything... The separation anxiety is a hefty battle.. :/ hope I can have the success you do! :)
@@kevinprime6795 youre doing great! You’ll get it one day. All about consistency! Don’t give up ☺️
I am ALWAYS telling my dog "I'm going grocery shopping" or "I am going to visit a friend"
She KNOWS, and she just goes on the couch on her own.
Aww you're dog is so smart. For my dog, all I do is say bye and he gives me puppy eyes so I dont leave
Nobody should be alone. Its cruel in my eyes
@@merichamarais9539 I know right... But sometimes life happens. I still believe my dog rather likes having breakfast and dinner than me being with her at all times 😂😉
Luckywise more and more companies allow to bring the dog to work
My dad told me that when I was a child. I have never seen him since then.
We adopted a dog 10/7/23. She really has separation anxiety, bad, which we were u aware and so was the adoption people. This vidro was helpful but I think I'll watch it again.
I just tell my dog that I have to go to work and he instantly goes into chill mode. We're kind of inseparable otherwise...he's crazy intuitive, loyal and trusting. Can't express my gratitude enough for him. ❤
How did you do that?... I'm trying to get my dog to be cool when I'm away at work. I'm a new dog mom.
I do DoorDash. So, it’s not regular hours. Sometimes I may be gone from 8 to even 12 hours at a time. And other times I’m back at the house between every order.
As much as I know he doesn’t like being locked up, if I said, ok, I’ve gotta go, he’d go straight for his cage. And then he started to differentiate between the body language of me getting ready to leave, as opposed to getting ready to take him outside. Then it eventually got to the point, if he heard the alert from the DoorDash app, he would run to his cage.
I do the same thing ❤
I'll watch the commercials so Cesar gets paid.
Really ?
Some of those adds are long, however I watched them all !
Does it really work that way? Cesar doesn’t get paid if you don’t watch the ad?
Trish Mitchell the Dog Magician yes. If you skip it in 5 mins, creators wont get paid.
you only have to let the commercials play 30 seconds. You don't have to watch the entire commercial.
So I watched this for the lesson, I will watch again and again to admire and take design ideas from his home
That's funny! We were just saying the same thing! Not super keen on the green couch though.
His home is so beautiful!!
Flex 😂😂
I have one of those too. Can't catch her and won't come to anyone. She'll come home but won't come Inside until she's ready.
This is one of the most informative and instructive videos I've seen on this issue. I have referred back to it many times, and I've passed it along to pet parents I've been training, as well. Thanks for taking the time to play this out for us so we can gain a knowledge of how to successfully treat separation anxiety - and, just as important - what the thought process is that the dog is going through. Very thorough and helpful.
I have never liked to leave my little Chihuahua. She’s now going on 13th and when she was young, she was better and if I had to travel or be gone cup a few hours a day was fine when I had to do some traveling my daughter took her and she was fine but the older she gets for the last several years the more I’ve stayed home the more she wants to be with me. So I’m older, I rarely leave her here. She comes on short trips everywhere which most of my trips are because I’m older..when I come home it’s a big cry scene on the couch and you know I just go sit there with her for three or four minutes. And it’s heartbreaking so I’ve just been fortunate enough to not really have to leave her much. She does have some tummy problems so taking her on trips can be difficult so I’ve put off any little trips because I love her so much and it’s just how it is. She loves sunshine and I love sunshine and where I live but this time of year it’s getting to get less sunshine not super cold temperatures. But she knows the word sunshine and she loves her sunbathing time and she does a lot of words and she’s a sweet, loving little angel. I want to be with her. I really choose to not leave, and I take her in the car quite often, in fact, most of time I go on short trips doing errands she comes with me. I love her more than probably any dog and have had many dogs as you know having children stuff but she is my little princess Sophie.
My dog with separation anxiety is the one I had to chase down the street to come back.
Exactly. Literally did it 10 minutes ago. 😂🤣
Same
Happen to me today. 😂
😂😂
according to Caesar in a different video, the dogs that BOLT out the door, away from you, are the ones that don't get enough exercise and they think this is their only moment so they take it and run!
One time I was housesitting where there was a German shepherd & a house cat that slept downstairs. After I went to sleep upstairs, at 3 am, the dog tapped on the outside of my door with her paw. When I followed her downstairs, she led me to the cat who wanted more dry cat food in her bowl.
Cat trains dog to demand food from owner in middle of the night. Evil genious cat.
Good doggo
This helped so much thank you ❤i cant wait to work on it
This is why I set boundaries. My gf thinks I’m mean but she doesn’t understand. I make them sleep in their own beds, I don’t constantly cuddle them or allow them to follow me everywhere. They are very well behaved and friendly dogs.
user name checks out
@@tommyt813 😂 lol
We have same situatuon.. My gf thought I was cruel with our beagle but I just want our dog to be developed and get out of separation anxiety
@@nathpolido9964 well done, it’s important.
Well done. Cesar is focused on being a TV star. He doesn't show the dirty part. By dirty part, I mean what seems inhumane to humans but means leadership that dogs are hungry for as dogs. He always shows things at a macro level after success rather than the daily work that goes in at a micro level. He is EXCELLENT at training dogs, but he really does a rather poor job of educating humans how to relate to their dogs. You have it right! I encourage you to delve into the world of TRUE balanced dog training. I think Cesar practices balanced dog training but presents more of a positive only approach to be popular, showing results without showing methods. You are definitely on the right track and your approach is definitely more compassionate and loving to dogs that those that criticize you for being cruel. Keep up the good work!
Cesar has done so much teaching people how to treat dogs. Dogs are sentient beings. Love them.
All beings are sentient actually love them :D
Gonna start doing this with my dog. She always barks and cries super loud whenever I get home, I started turning my back to her and not giving her any attention or contact until she settles down. So far it’s been working little by little but patience is the key.
My littermates were very vocal when I would return. I greet them with a carrot each, encouraging them to calm down and they can have their carrot. It works for my boys!
hey- how did it work out?
@@lippyandkittymsp6449 actually she has gotten better! She will just jump on me and wait for me to pet her but she doesn’t scream loud anymore! Lol
Been a long time since I’ve watched Cesar as 12yrs ago I found his techniques too harsh and without enough praise when the dogs do the right thing. Found this video very helpful and I’m happy to see he’s learnt better balance himself.
Thank you you have given me so much valuable information for her new puppy.🐾🐾
My mom gave my dogs the unwashed clothes of mine for them to sniff when I was away for quite a long time. It worked well to make them relax a bit. Try it! ❤️
Nice tips!
I adopted a stray that my friends dad found, and he's the cutest little bastard ever. However, whenever I left he would freak the hell out. He ate through the carpet and insulation down to the concrete in 4 different locations, chewed the trim off the front door and my bedroom door, and chewed straight through a couch cushion. I couldn't figure out how to stop it.
Then, my gf at the time moved in with her dog... and I found out he just needed another dog to be around. He doesn't freak out now, he has 2 sisters :-)
Omg don’t tell me this 😂 because I was just thinking about getting a brother or sister for mine to see if the situation would get better
@@fridahojeda856 I wish I would have done that before I had over $1000 in damage at my apartment... lol. Trust me, it ends up being cheaper and easier to have two dogs... And more fun! :-) It's also wayyy less stressful to the dogs if they have a "friend" for when you're either away or can't play with them.
Get a 2nd dog!! lol.
@@fridahojeda856 P.S. If you're in the mood for some cute dog pics, heres a few of the stray I adopted (Dexter) imgur.com/gallery/pOq6LcO
I have a lot of the damage he did, with the plastic bottom to the cage ripped into a thousand pieces, or the carpet and subfloor below it totally gone, as well as everything else.... But I think you can just take my word for it, lol.
But, regardless... He's worth every bit of it. I love this lil bastard :-) and he has 2 sisters hes with now.
J H this is LITERALLY what I came home to today. She had ripped through the carpet and insulation in both of my rooms, got into her food bad, and trash.
@@chalianarivera2444 aww.... Well, i know your pain! Lol
I’ve been practicing this for a few days and I can say my dog is getting better. Now I’m leaving her alone on purpose, everyday for a bit longer, and she is not barking anymore. Thanks for the video!
Thx a lot for the info i will put it to action
Cesar, my nephew was born yesterday and we named him after you!
We had a dog with separation anxiety so we got her a friend, that turned into 2 dogs with separation anxiety. We gave them a place to watch out the window , it worked 🙂 , they watch us leave , then about 1 minute of howling , then they wait and watch for us to come back.
Needed this I never had a dog before she is a tiny thing ive stepped on her a few times on accident because she doesn't understand that I am getting ready for work or doing something she shouldn't be near for because she can get hurt. Today is my last straw her poor little paw got caught in a drawer I felt so bad but I blamed her because she doesnt listen when I tell her go to your bed. Trying this because I dont want to hurt ever again
Crates are good. Their own little hidey hole. More than one reason as to get one.
Cesar is the absolute best!
My dog was abandoned out in the middle of nowhere, near my workplace. He was sitting on the side of the road, and my daughter and I eventually got him to come to us. We didnt have a place to send him, so he hung out with me in my loader and latched on to me. Now I can't even leave him home with my wife. He sits and whines and howls all day until i get home. He has to go to work with me every day. Luckily I work somewhere that is cool with it. The guys at work love him and the daughter of the owner of the company actually went out and bought him his own safety vest with the company logo on it.
WOW LUCKY YOU, HOW NICE!
BUT STILL IT WOULD B WISE TO START TRAINING HIM SLOWLY BEC U NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO U AND THEN HE WOULD SUFFER EVEN MORE.
✌️💚☮️💟
Same. I have my own company, so I can take him with me in office, but when I have meetings, or when I travel, I leave him at my parents, where both of us lived for few years. He is OK with that, but he suffer a lot, and when I came back from vacation he is mad for few days. 🙄😭
Beautiful story! I did rescue a pet from the streets with my daughter too. My daughter was 5 years old and told me: Daddy, this dog has not family, we have to take care of her.
Long story short, after 7 years, this dog is the most loyal and lovely pet ever.
Bless owners who treat his workers this way 👍
I love this! How much treats per hour is he paid? Good job, hope you both live a happy life sharing each other’s companionship.
Stay safe!
and THIS is why I like Cesar, I've watched other dog trainers and they go in circles with their explanation like trying to avoid sharing their "secrets" of how to train a dog, while Cesar explains it step by step.
cause hes making up for all the dogs he got put down due to his pass training methods, hes killed more dogs than hes helped.
Omg foreal?
@@hebronbain9034 yeah u clearly don't even know what you're talking about
Its because they dont why it works
My dog follows me once. From the time I get up till the time I go to bed.
😂
Same here 🤗☺️☺️
Lol this is true 😅
😂
😂😂😂😂
This video helped me SO MUCH with my dogs separation anxiety. We started to do Point of Interest training around the house throughout the day and incorporated that with what we were doing before (leaving the house, coming back in and rewarding if she is calm and stays put). BOOM! HUGE difference! Now we can leave the house for 40min and she is relaxed, stress free and calm. Working up to 1 hour and then multiple hours! Thank you Cesar!!
How is the progress? 1h passed, 2h passed?
@@Revi674 She's completely calm for over 1 hour now! Slowly working up because we want to set her up for success not failure!
I have a seven month old Moyenne poodle; I was hoping watching Cesar address this problem, as my dog has severe, separation anxiety.; she has frantically tried to dig her self from behind the door; I do not trust her yet to be alone in the whole house; too many danger factors for her. Yes, I have tried to think of anything she might get into and put them extremely high, put them in containers; but she still is able to get what she wants.Factors that probably contribute or that it is only the dog and I. I got her to train her as a service dog, but I am having doubts that will be possible with the destructive separation anxiety she has. I.e. she had been crated before and was very anxious. I mistakenly thought, giving her a bigger room would help. Put the crate in the room for her to have all her comfort things along with items with my scent. I cannot count how many times she follows menow. She has figured out a please in the house, where she can keep an ion me at all times, and lays there, if she hears me move, she jumps right up and comes to my side. Her eyes follow me constantly while she is eating. If I am out of sight, she will stop eating and look for me. I have tried the technique of going inch by inch away from her, if she sit/stays and comes on command she is rewarded. She nose bumps the frame of my wheelchair as if she is checking "yes she still here". She is good with other dogs; gets too excitable and jumps with people. My wheelchair has been out of order since December 2022, so it very much interrupted training and not able to give her proper exercise. Caesars cute dog in the clip, to me, does not actually have separation anxiety, so it is difficult to really see he works with a dog with severe separation anxiety.
@@cheryldamico6210 One thing I noticed in your comment is the "if she sit/stays and comes on command she is rewarded" Cesar says in this video NOT to recall your dog from the place you are trying to get them to stay at because you are rewarding your dog for leaving that place and coming towards you, which is the opposite of what you want. You want to tell your dog to stay in one place while you move away from them. If they are able to stay in that place you go back to them and reward them. You just keep on doing this and you'll be able to go further away from your dog for longer periods of time. Remember, don't call your dog from these places because it's a fun game your doing where your dog is challenged to stay in that place until you come back! Hope this helps!!
@@Revi674 We just recently did 2+ hours and she was completely fine, sleeping even! 😂 I think she will be fine even for 4-5 hours which I'll try soon. I can visibly see a difference in her when we leave, she is so much more relaxed and calm, this video literally saved us.
My nephew grew up with a husky. The dog traveled 2.9 miles to the school my nephew attends. Twice. I thought it was amazing being that the dog has never been there before. Cesar, how did the dog know? RIP Simba
I think it’s natural for us to be with other people all the time too. But our society is not very natural.
❤thanks Cesar
Great advice
I love how she wasn’t really at all worried about what the camera man was up to, and whenever she saw Cesar she greeted him with a tail wag but it wasn’t too much energy
Of course she wasn't worried about the cameraman - she is a fully well-trained dog - not a psychological mess like mine! I challenge Cesar to sort my dog out. That would be difficult as I live in the UK
MUCH LOVE from Wisconsin my brother.
When the dog is smarter than the human..the dog trains the human to what they want ..i have been in animal rescue for 50 yrs..i have had to retrain many..including the rescue dog with me now
I read somewhere that separation anxiety is the second most cited reason--behind aggression--why people rehome a dog. After my dog Sandy nearly destroyed my house and yard when I left, I rehomed her with a family with (1) another dog; (2) stay-at-home mom; (3) two pre-teen children; (4) live-in grandmother, and (5) a large yard. Sandy would never be alone. Rehoming was the best outcome for her. This family sent photos after Sandy was in their home for several weeks. She was contented and had gained a bit of weight. Clearly, Sandy was no longer anxious. She needed a pack; not just me.
My dog gets to come to work with me because I am a family physician in private practice, and she helps me with my patients; she has a bed under my desk :). She goes with me almost everywhere, though she does get anxious when I have to go to the store and won't take her with me when it is too hot for her in the car. (She is a little tiny 8 pound Shih Tzu rescue). Thank you so much for these tips.
I have to watch this again because I was distracted by that gorgeous house! Love the jewel tone accents!
Marlee SP Agreed!! I was especially taken with the green VELVET sofa!! Gorgeous!!
I was literally just about to say the same!!😂😂 where is this Cape Cod stunner!?💜💜
Gorgeous house very airy and calming and reflects Cezar personality
Me too 😂. Beautiful home! Cesar works hard for it. Thank you Cesar for sharing your knowledge and love for animals.
You are so true...ok..
This is so helpful! Cesar, you're a true animal healer, probably human healer too!
The best lesson he taught me is a good dog is a tired dog.
Absolutely. I just took on a 15 week old 'problem' Belgian Malinois (known for their super high energy and intelligence). I've been doing 2 good obedience walks every day and at home he just wants to rest, he's worn out. No chewing, no bouncing around the house, he's just amazing. I think if you have a busy schedule, out all of the time for work etc and don't have the discipline or time to get out for a couple of hours a day, then you should get a cat 😉

Dont over tired, they can got CHF earlier than in their old age
My small mixed dog he can be exercising all day and he's STILL NOT TIRED he stresses me out Soo much ugh i might have to give him i trained him and did everything right idk what's wrong with him LOL
thank you for this, i’m struggling so much with my 6 month old pomeranian, her barks are obnoxiously loud, i hope she will get used to being alone and more independent
How did it got with your pom? I'm adopting one for my birthday, so I'm looking for tips and advice.
Poms are vocal, and it’s like part of their work out.
My 8 month old puppy Hudson (chihuahua spaniel mix) is dealing with isolation distress. He gets plenty of exercise and nice long walks twice a day. When someone is home, Hudson is fine to be in his crate, wait patiently, or play with his toys in another part of the home while we’re in the bathroom or kitchen.
Initially we believed him to have separation anxiety, but as we reinforced crate training and constant rewarding for being quiet when left the room, we discovered his issue is only when we leave the home.
We approach leaving our house the same way we approached crate training and keeping him in other rooms (we call them “In and Outs”).. started with short periods of time, rewards when he was calm, extended to longer periods of time the more comfortable he got. When doing In and Out training, we can build up his time to hours in his crate, or 15/20 minutes waiting outside the house (it’s a cold winter in Canada, can’t stay out there long).
The problem comes when we leave the house and Hudson realizes this no longer is a training exercise, he howls excessively until our return. He refuses to relax in his crate or take a nap. He once howled for 3 hours straight when we needed to go out. How am I suppose to reward a calm puppy for my return if he’s never calm and doesn’t stop howling? We need to eventually re-enter our home, but because he’s howling that means Hudson wins.
We can’t do “In and Out” build ups everytime we need to go out to the gym, dinner, grocery shopping, etc.
Please help!!
Michael and Stephanie
Thank you
Finally starts talking about how to work on it at 4:55.
Cesar!! You did it! You helped me to train my dog!! I love you! Thank you! ❤️
Hola Cesar! We've had a 7month old puppy about a month now, who followed us home for half a mile. I cleaned him up and took him in, had him Vet checked, chipped, etc. We take him with us when we leave the property, leaving him in the truck with toys when we go in to shop, etc. Eventually, we're gonna need to leave him alone at home. I plan to use the techniques you've shown and so appreciate all you do for humans and our beloved dogs!
Here in California it is against the law to leave a dog in a car or truck unattended.
@@marygonzales1588 well we don't live in CA and we don't leave him long
I don’t know why the first few mins of explanation made me teary eyed. I love my dog so much!!
This was a perfect explanation of how the dog understands being alone!
Count how many time your dog follows you throughout the day? = countless 😂
Yeah, I wondered about that. It's always. The number depends on how often I move, so shouldn't he be saying it in %?
@@LETMino85 it really does depend when and if I'm the one moving around 🙃
Damn I lost count my dog follows me 24/7 😂
Right!? I have three standard Dachshunds that follow me all over the house and I am retired so they are rarely without me but the reason I have more than one is because I never want them to be truly alone when we are gone. We bought a motorhome so they could always be with us when we go on vacation!
My dogs are literally my shadows, they know to stay but can’t help it. They’ll even stop eating they’re food if they feel like am going to leave.
People don't understand that this video is to understand the Why is happening, What make this happen, Where this happening, Why this is happening and how to correct. This video is to make you understand your dog and how to work with it. That why (i think) he choose a dog with no séparation anxiety to help you visual what to expect. you will be distract with a dog with anxiety in this video. my dog have separation anxiety and i couldn't understand him. this video help me alot to understand what is happening in this doggo mind. the key is to work together with your dog, compromise and learn each other.
Thank you very much! this video really help open my views and i will do my best to work with my doggo to have a heathly separation.
I’ve had my dog before Covid, I found a great doggie daycare facility I take her to twice a week to socialize with other dogs vs just humans. She loves it.
Omg I need this. My 2 maltese have VERY bad separation anxiety when i leave, my neighbor has complained about them barking to the landlord 😢
@kenyabutts3592 if you find a good responsible facility, I highly recommend it. We tried a cpl and found the one. Trust me, if she didn't feel comfortable she'd let me know. I think it helps a lot, atleast for us.
@kenyabutts3592 plus... I believe she learned, drop off away doesn't mean forever, when you return they are tired and happy. And away from You and the home for a while. It's not the Only thing I do with her, just a break in the norm.
Educating people about dogs is basically more important than educating a dog ...👍👍👍
Your cesar and dog dolls are so hilarious!! I want them! 😂
I was thinking the same. So cute!!
Came for advice and loved seeing all the beautiful crystals!!! 🥰
It is great I will try it
Exactly what I need! My dog barks a lot whenever we are out from the house after we’ve been on lockdown for 3 months!
Anyone else not have a dog but just likes to watch these videos??
Cesar is brilliant .
Is anybody dealing with a MUCH more anxious dog? We're talking severe separation anxiety! I was wondering if anybody has some advice for those in this situation. Maybe people can leave their suggestions in the replies to my comment below. Many thanks in advance!
'Doggy 123 Atom'
Do a Google search for the term above, super useful!
When dealing with a bigger problem do as he says but break it down into TINY steps. The first step teach = their spot, and the wait. Then take a few steps away. If she stays walk back, if not pop back on Spot and do again but less separation. When this is ok, extend your separation around a corner, and wait 1second, before she can move, then go back. When you can do this 20 time without her moving, increase to 5seconds. See? Tiny steps. With repetition kindness and TIME you will get there but it can take weeks, or months. But you will get there
I have a 11 week mini Aussie and I can’t go to the bathroom without her whimpering or barking.
@@leoandrews1696I will try this. Thank you
lol a year later after this video has been published and we are still here. I am getting a pup and I'm already trying to see how I can avoid separation anxiety for when I return to the office ONE DAY.
Good do as much training as possible when puppy. Short stints. Consistent expectations as to youre wants. So much easier than when they are older
Oh Babz. You have been here a year before you even get a puppy?
I don't have a dog but I brought my child up with cesar's mindset of calm assertive energy hehehe (no am not joking, my son is well balanced IT WORKS!!) 😂 🤣 💕 I can listen to cesar alllllll day xx
Hahahaha 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You should watch the Cesar Milan South Park episode 😃. Hilarious.
I was literally trying to figure out how I could apply this to my children
@@DarkenAngel8 Tsst
Your not wrong, I find in general how you handle situations with your energy/behaviour. Reflects alot on how people or dogs react.
On the few times I couldnt take my service dog, I got her a babysitter. With someone she was happy to see and one of her favorite dvds
My dog was quite nervous when I had her in the car and I would stop and get petrol. When I went in to pay, she wouldn't take her eyes off me and when I got back in the car after a few minutes she had been so nervous the whole car smelt so bad of alot of farts cause of how nervous she was... It doesn't happen anymore thank god, the poor kid... She's very happy my partner works from home and I'm mostly home now too. My Mom used to be home all the time so she has always been with someone most of the time.
We were graced with the honor of a Toffee, she's a lab/retriever and she's amazing. The most chill dog ever even as a puppy. Important not to over feed them, she developed 2 lumps we needed to removed (around 8yrs). Cause my Dad kept giving her food from his dinners. I finally got him to stop and she's a healthy and happy 14yr old. They are very special dogs. And for those wanting a dog to feel safe... they're a great choice, she's got a very powerful bark. They're the best all rounder dog I've ever come across. I cuddle with her every night, don't know what I'll do without her ❤
Ii just got my dog a dog lol and it helped a lot with the anxiety 💕 now I had 2 dogs following me to the bathroom 🙄
Our house has 8. Unfortunately, number 8 is the one who has the issue. I'm hoping these tips will help her.
I did the same thing hahahaha now they are both obsessed with me lol
Surprised that I have been already doing a lot of it on our own. Just need to polish it up and practice!
It works! My dauchound follows me all through the house and it was difficult because I’m a stay at home mother and wife. The kids are in college now but still at home. So when I go to clean he kept following me! I did what he said and the living room was his place to stay and now when I go to get the broom and mop all I do is point and he goes in there and stays!👍
Thank you for this. Comming from a less than week old owner of a beautiful 20 month old Brittany that howls everytime I leave. :(
Did that work?
My lil baby literally follows me everywhere , he’s my best friend 😂😂❤️ I feel so sad thinking about leaving him again after this lockdown 😭😭🥺 my poor baby
Thank you. I always learn something new.
My fur baby, I rescued him last year, he is a covid pup. If I leave him for longer then 5 mins he chews, and it’s only me. I’m gonna give this a go as I’m running out of ideas of what to do anymore, he is chewing our house up so much now. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 it works
So did it work?
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Cesar's 10 ft tall door? Lol
It’s like…he is compensating. 😂
Gorgeous house and invaluable advice.
Thank you Cesar. You are the world authority
Well explained. I love your information videos.
If anyone wants to skip the intro, 14:22
This video is invaluable.
I’d also love to see this with a dog who is not yet this well trained, so I can see this skill begin to form from the beginning ♥️
Me too! CESAR COME TO NORTHERN ALBERTA CANADA PLEASE!,!
@andrew andrew thanks so much for your comment, it’s super helpful!
I would also like to see from the beginning. It might take 2 seconds for a dog to learn, but much longer for a puppy to learn.
Yes, I understand how to train the dog,@andrew andrew . What I meant was that it takes longer than 2 seconds. Might take a day for a quick learner or a few weeks with a slow one. I seem to have got a slow learner this time around. Doesn't help when I have another family member undoing my good work.
I'd like see hi. Train my big ass dog who I adopted damaged already.
