074 How To Deal With Judgy Comments and Unhelpful Advice This Festive Season

Be Right Back! The Separation Anxiety Podcast

It’s that time of year: gathering with friends and family for cosy times, festive food, and…conversations about your dog.

If it feels like everyone you know is an expert in separation anxiety then you’re probably bracing yourself for heaps of unsolicited, unhelpful advice, from people who mean well, but who just don’t get it.

Or maybe, you’re not going anywhere because you can’t leave your dog, and you’ve already had the advice. “Just leave him - it’s only a few hours”, and so on. You know how it goes.

If this resonates with you, then tune into my latest podcast episode, where I dive into the most common bits of advice, and least helpful questions that I hear pet parents dealing with over and over again.

And for each one, I’ve shared my tips on how to handle them.

I do hope that you enjoy this festive season. Try not to stress too much about your dog. Instead take a break (if you can) and I’ll see you in January, re-energized for some serious separation anxiety training. Are you in?
