As someone who (long ago) dealt first hand with a dog who had severe separation anxiety, I wish that way back then I'd had the information contained in Nicole Wilde's gentle and compassionate book, 'Don't Leave Me!' Holistic, thoughtful and clear, 'Don't Leave Me!' offers solid practical information for owners struggling with how best to help a dog suffering from separation anxiety. Wilde's own experience with S/A, combined with her professional expertise, is behind her understanding of all she discusses and recommends. Options range from time proven behavioral modification to psychotherapeutics to some promising new nutraceuticals and even pressure wraps, and how best to decide which combination of options may be most effective. Highly recommended, this book is a gift for those trying to help the dogs. - Suzanne Clothier, author, And Bones Would Rain from the Sky

| Must have!!, February 20, 2012 |
| Reviewer: Christina Ludwig |
| This is a must have for anyone who has a dog with separation anxiety! This book helped me help my dog realize that I would always be back. Not only does she go into great detail of what separation anxiety is and isn't, she also gives you step my step instructions for helping your dog overcome his fear of your leaving. I could not ask for a better book on separation anxiety! |

| Excellent Help for Separation Issues, January 9, 2012 |
| Reviewer: Nannette Morgan CPDT-KA |
| I'm always amazed that Nicole Wilde can turn her hand at various behavioral issues and consistently produce another winner. She did it again here for 'Don't Leave Me...' As a professional trainer and behavior consultant handling many, many cases of separation distress/anxiety issues, I'm always on the lookout for new books and dvds on this topic. I found her help on this topic in 'Help for Your Fearful Dog' to be excellent but this book takes it the full circle covering many adjunct modalities to help solve this puzzle for clients. I even found a few suggestions that were new to me. I highly recommend this for trainers and as a resource for their clients! |

| Another Winner by Nicole, April 13, 2011 |
| Reviewer: Patty L Crichton |
| When I was at dog training school, I read all of Nicole's books that were out at the time. I was so impressed that I contacted her and she's just as nice as the personality that shines through in her books. This is another EXCELLENT book with simple, easy-to-implement strategies to help clients understand the heartbreaking problems associated with being alone. It excels in helping distinguish between true separation anxiety and related conditions. I rarely have time to read dog training books, but I will read anything Nicole writes, because her style is so easy, fun, AND practical. |
