Having difficulty with a 9 month old pup and separation anxiety. Do you have any tips or lessons on this? Living in apt building so, it is very important that I fix it.

My question is I thought you use the word yes to mark a command was done correctly and the word Good was used as a bridge to have the dog continue the command and Free was used to release the dog. I see in your videos you use the Yes to release the dog Im confused on which to use and when. Thanks Dave

I have a two year old Rottweiler. The problem is that if I leave him out of his crate and I leave the house for a couple of hours or so he will crap and pee in the house. If I’m home all day he will not do it. I would even let him out to use the bathroom and he still would do it in the house.
