Dog Star Park

For decades, dog training was based on dominance: “the dog must know who is in charge”. But neuroscience changed everything. Today we know that positive reinforcement is not only more ethical, but significantly more effective in the long term. Dogs trained with positive methods learn faster, retain what they have learned better and, above all, develop a stronger and more secure bond with their humans.

You come home and find the door frame chewed, a shredded cushion and your neighbour complaining about the barking. No, your dog isn't holding a grudge against you or has suddenly turned “bad”. It could be suffering from separation anxiety, one of the most common —and most misunderstood— behavioural disorders in urban dogs. In this guide we explain what it really is, how to tell it apart from simple boredom and, most importantly, how to help your dog feel safe even when you're not at home.
