Robert Forto

Moving overseas with dogs? Adopting a rescue? Dealing with barking, destruction, or panic when you leave? In this episode, Dr. Robert Forto and Robin Lucas break down separation anxiety — one of the top reasons rescues get returned.

We cover:

Signs (vocalizing, destruction, elimination, escape attempts, physical distress)
Common adopter mistakes that make it worse
Triggers (routine changes, new environments, past trauma)
Practical first-30-days steps: routines, independence building, crate training, desensitization
Realities of international moves with dogs (visas, shipping restricted breeds)

We send our a newsletter every couple of weeks and it includes a couple of cool dog training FREEBIES. Subscribe Now!
