Pet food brand Naturo has introduced 'hound-selling' classes that will combine both canine and human therapy practices after research found that a third of pet owners are concerned about their beloved pooches suffering from post-lockdown anxiety.
The Relationship Hound-selling sessions are being offered by Naturo free of charge via a competition on their website (www.naturopetfoods.com) and are available to all dog owners in the UK and Ireland.
TV personality and dog behaviourist Leon Towers said: "This unique service from Naturo will be welcomed with open arms worldwide! Dog owners have spent over a year in lockdown and are at a loss what to do, how to cope, not knowing how to deal with issues such as separation anxiety and relationship breakdowns.
"Facing the new world as the ‘new normal’ is such a frightening and vulnerable situation for dogs and owners to be in. Naturo is a saviour to dog owners by providing this critical service to enable owners to make the transition back into everyday life and I look forward to supporting them with the launch of the hound-selling sessions."
