SEPARATION ANXIETY
I have been working with Winston the grey Standard Poodle since November 2025.
His lovely guardian contacted me after she saw me in an interview about Separation Anxiety and ACE Free Work.
Winston has suffered terrible separation anxiety.
They could barely leave the room and if they wanted to go out together they needed her Mum to puppy sit.
Winston was a humper and mouther and would bark excessively.
We looked at Winstons welfare needs and tweaked his diet, through observing him in Free Work, some discomfort was noted and he is now under the care of a fantastic physio.
Using the ready game in Free Work we enabled Winston to communicate that he felt safe enough to move away from his guardians.
So by addressing a lot of his welfare needs and using ACE Free Work as the bridge to support him to feel safe and understood, I have some amACEing results to report.
After not being able to have guests as Winston would mouth and hump - they hosted a dinner party a couple of months ago and Winston did not display any of his historical behaviours and a lovely night was had by all>
Now this video may be the most boring video ever, but to me this is the most beautiful ever.
This is viewing Winston and his Sister through the wall mounted camera - his guardian returned after 30 minutes and Winston kept sleeping.
Separation Anxiety can take a while to be resolved and continued support is essential.
I am so proud of team Winston
