I just realized that you may not have seen a couple related posts from back in January, so I thought you might also be interested in these, too. Or at least in the video embed...

The top article says, "The first goal is to deal with separation anxiety, in a trial with San Francisco SPCA." The second doesn't really say much, but this video was included in both of them:


Like you said before, putting together pieces of a puzzle. ; -)

I finally checked out those references. Thank you!
Intuitively, I say,"No", but it might work for the right dog. People become intense when training and that interferes with success, think. We did have a deaf dog once that was impossible to control, so we actually paid a trainer to come to the house. She said the dog was brain damaged! The most she could do was offer us techniques to try and mitigate some of the worst behavior. That poor dog didn't live very long.
Anyway, interesting concept and I might try it with a more "normal" dog, if I had the extra change and needed help. BTW, the human trainer was less expensive.
Take care,
AG
