    Well, once he opens up she can train him to be more independent. But first he needs the security and wiggle room.

    Its not the best approach, but in the mental world you take what you can get.

      That’s kind of my point. What part of our whole understanding of how to train dogs involves training them to be more independent? I don’t really think there is any. At best you can point to like dog socialization training, but I don’t think that makes them more independent, that’s just training them to be social when their owners are around.
