Great, if you can afford to stay home all day,
1. Deciding whether or not to crate your dog. If he’s destructive when you leave, but content to chill in his crate, you should crate him. If he’s anxious in his crate, but doesn’t destroy anything while you’re away, then keep him loose in the house. Well, that’s all great, but what if he’s both destructive when alone AND anxious in his crate?! I’ve spent hours upon hours, week after week, scouring the internet for ways to make him love his crate but he is just not adapting. He even chewed through and escaped out of one plastic crate. Plus he destroys things around the house while we’re away anyway, and he’s fully exercised and has enough long-lasting chews and Kongs to busy himself with. We don’t have a yard, so we can’t try the doggy door approach. I just wished she explained what to do if neither crating nor letting the dog run loose were obvious choices, I would imagine we’re not the only ones with a dog like that and it’s a pretty big hole to leave in a training book like this.
2. She kept saying not to leave your dog long enough to push his threshold. This can takes weeks or months worth of training. Of COURSE that’s ideal, but many people work out of the house from 8am-5pm, do not have friends we can leave the dog with, and cannot afford doggy day cares every single day. I wish she formulated an approach for people to try on evenings and weekends while having to leave him alone during the day. I bought this book based on the reviews here, and cannot implement any of the actual training because I will inevitably have to leave the next morning, setting our progress back to the beginning. So, thanks for the ideas for physical “tools” like treats, toys, plugins, music, and exercises, but I guess I will just have to “wing it” as far as actual training goes.

Overall I think this book is a good read. It could have been more psychoanalytic by associating social anxiety with some of the traumas that one may been subjected to during their childhood.
