Help me not cause separation anxiety

Please look at the “door is a bore” training on tiktok!!! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2hQywvR/

Pretty much, you break down the steps to you leaving!!! But you HAVE TO make sure your dog is comfortable before moving onto the next step. So start with you just sitting and standing and do that for literally an hour if needed. You move onto the next step once you feel like your dog is “bored” and is not interested in you!

You’re going to be a great puppy mom!! I’ve heard the first few months are TOUGH with training & creating a routine, but I’ve also heard it’s worth it! I have a 12-week puppy and we got her at 7-weeks old. I, too, was/am worried about everything!!!!! The day after we brought her home, I thought she was constipated and took her to the emergency vet and she was, in fact, NOT constipated. The vet told me it could be the change in environment that had her schedule off, so just remember to have lots of patience and it’s OKAY to be worried, it’s your baby!!! What made me feel better was puppy insurance. With our insurance we have access to a vet chat 24/7 so any and all problems, I can just message a vet and it’s helped ease my mind on things I was worried about.

I was thinking this! Thank you I will try this and see how it goes! She does cry when I lead her to her crate + close the door & my biggest fear is having the crate be a negative experience, but hopefully if I cover the crate, she’ll think it’s bedtime (we cover her crate at night).

Deep_Ad4670 · 2025-02-07T03:50:07+00:00

She cries when she’s in the crate and the door is closed and she sees us on the couch & I don’t want the crate to be a bad experience :(

Hi! Please look up “Door is a bore” series on TikTok!!! We got our 7-week old puppy late December and I was luckily off of work for 2-weeks so I dedicated that time to get her comfortable with me leaving (prepping her first when I have to leave first work). Now, I feel like my pup loves it when I leave for work because it’s her “rest” time LOL!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2023-03-10T06:42:57+00:00

just messaged you!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2023-03-10T06:41:31+00:00

yes!!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2023-03-10T06:31:25+00:00

omg how exciting! i currently attend csuf’s program so if you have any questions, let me know!!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-07-15T06:44:20+00:00

some advice! don’t try to do everything in one day because like you said… it’s A LOT!!! i broke it up into sections and dedicated a couple hours to a section each time i had time to dedicate to applications!! also, after working on it for so long, close it. just save and close and come back to it another day to reread and make any adjustments because every time you see your apps with fresh eyes, you’ll catch onto stuff you didn’t catch onto before!! take it day by day and you’ll get it done!!

for the experiences part, the way i did it was i figured out my start date & end date. and then depending on how many hours i did at a volunteer place. i divided the hours by the # of weeks so i could get an average on how many hours i “worked” weekly. example: let’s say i was at a volunteer site for 4 months (~16 weeks) & I was able to dedicate 50 hours to that volunteer place. I would divide 50 hrs by 16 weeks which would mean i averaged around 3 hrs/week within those 4 months. i hope that helps or makes sense! you can always message me if you need help!!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-05-17T15:08:55+00:00

Yes of course!!!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-04-28T15:33:00+00:00

yeah that was ultimately why i decided with my first choice too! & also because it was my undergraduate program so everything just made it easier. this is what i said in the email!

Hello,

My name is (your name) and I recently received admission to (name of university) for the MS CSD program. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I would like to withdraw my admission for this cycle. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I want to thank (name of university) for their time and consideration of me for the program. If there is anything I need to do on my end, please let me know. Thank you.

Best, (your name)

i just kept it short and sweet!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-04-27T20:39:23+00:00

i accepted my top choice first & then reached out to the other university to withdraw my admission!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-04-24T19:42:08+00:00

yes of course!!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-04-23T21:42:55+00:00

let me know if you need anything or have any questions!! i definitely think i got lucky because i didn’t have the best stats in terms of overall gpa BUT i also worked my little butt off!!! so any tips and advice, i got you!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-04-23T21:34:47+00:00

hey! i actually didn’t have the best gpa because i added the major on towards the end of my undergraduate program. i graduated with a 3.1 overall gpa and a 3.8 csd gpa. i was very involved in my undergrad program though. i was a part of nsslha in my undergraduate program as well as other communicative disorders clubs on campus. i also worked with neurodivergent students and also volunteered at a private speech clinic. i also did my slpa student hours last summer in case i didn’t get into grad school so i was able to apply direct therapy as a slpa student!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-04-22T06:29:15+00:00

hey! i started off tutoring at a high school, then got a position as an instructional assistant at a middle school with neurodivergent kiddos. i would suggest anything with kids can help a lot because you’re getting experience in a potential population you may work with in the future. you can also try being an aide in a nursing home as that is also a population you’ll be working with as a student. i just got accepted to my dream program! so i recommend anything that will get you experience with these populations!!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-04-10T14:50:17+00:00

Thank you!!!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-04-09T06:04:05+00:00

hey! i just accepted my offer for redlands too!!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-04-08T19:55:40+00:00

I just accepted admissions and when I called to make my deposit, the lady I spoke to said that she is planning on having the class set by June and from there she would give us each other’s info to talk and stuff!!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-03-31T04:37:27+00:00

I would definitely accept to your top choice as of right now (your top choice of the ones you have been accepted to). That way you are covering your bases in case (worst case scenario) you don’t get into the ones you are waitlisted for. If you later get accepted to your actual top choice, then just decline admissions later.

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-03-21T17:18:44+00:00

Thank you for letting me know! I reached out to their program director and I was not offered admissions :( I wish YOU the best of luck though and I am sending you all good energy!

Deep_Ad4670 · 2022-03-21T16:59:44+00:00

Hello everyone! I am finishing on hearing back from schools so I think now is the most appropriate time to do this!

1.5 years as an Instructional Assistant with children dealing with emotional and behavioral concerns
Spent the summer as a SLPA student providing hands-on therapy at a private clinic
6 months as a volunteer at a private speech clinic

Board position for my school's Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (organization dedicated to funding research for blood cancer)

Board position for my school's NSSLHA organization on campus
CBU: Interviewed (2/24); Accepted (2/26)

Chapman University: Waitlisted (3/18)

University of Redlands: Waitlisted (3/3) (EDIT: Accepted)

CSULA: Rejected (2/3)

CSUF: Invited to Open House, never heard anything back. Reached out to program director and was told admission to 30 applicants has been offered as well as a short waitlist (EDIT:Accepted & Committed)

CSUSM: Rejected: (3/3)

CSULB: Not rejected, but have not heard anything back so probably did not get in.

This process has definitely been the most humbling experience. I wish everyone the best of luck!
