Bentley has recovered from his separation anxiety. For the next several months his owners will continue to practice his daily exercises to ward off any reoccurrence. Bentley was a quick study which is fairly unusual for dogs that have suffered from separation anxiety. I attribute his fast recovery to his owners diligence and ability to control the environment until he was ready to actually try being left alone. I will continue to keep tabs on him throughout the summer and pay him a visit in several weeks for a quick review. It is imperative that myself and his family are certain that Bentley is capable of continuing to demonstrate relaxed behavior in both his own home and the winter vacation house his owners rent each year. This will involve two overnight stays for Bentley and his owners in hotels this summer for practice.
