I'm giving this a 4 star， but it can easily be a 3 or a 5， depending on what you need from it。 It's not a full 5 stars for me， because I think she has a great training regime， but I'm not entirely sure it was enough content for a full book。 For that reason， there's a lot of content on not finding fault in yourself， not giving up， how to tackle stigma your friends and family might have about separation anxiety in dogs。 All of that is really important， and I'm sure many readers have needed to addr I'm giving this a 4 star， but it can easily be a 3 or a 5， depending on what you need from it。 It's not a full 5 stars for me， because I think she has a great training regime， but I'm not entirely sure it was enough content for a full book。 For that reason， there's a lot of content on not finding fault in yourself， not giving up， how to tackle stigma your friends and family might have about separation anxiety in dogs。 All of that is really important， and I'm sure many readers have needed to address these issues （and it does help to have reassurance）， but you don't actually get to the training plan until Chapter 4， nearly 100 pages in。 I'm a slow reader， so by the time I got to that chapter， my dog's anxiety had improved significantly。 It felt a little like reading the rest wasn't necessary。 I did， however， keep reading， and there are some useful things about attachment （another issue of ours） and how to decipher if it's anxiety or something else making them bark。 It's become clear that our dog has suffered from separation anxiety， but he also has a case of FOMO and boredom that we need to tackle。 The book was reassuring in that sense - and it has some tips for it， too。The biggest sticking point to her plan is that she insists your dog isn't left on its own throughout the training。 Honestly， there have been times - hospital appointments， for instance - where it just wasn't possible。 I fully accept that this could have prolonged his anxiety。 I also completely appreciate her stance on medicating anxiety for dogs。 Luckily our boy is not so anxious anymore， but if he hadn't improved I would have certainly considered it。 I think the problem is， we haven't got over the stigma of medicating for mental health in humans， so I don't think medicating dogs for their mental health would go down any better。 All that said， it's a solid training programme and worth reading if your neighbours are knocking on your door asking if your dog is OK after 2 hours of nonstop barking。 Thanks， Buster。 。。。more
