In this episode, Ness answers a listener question from Eniko:

"What should I do if my dog is great at doing home alone time at home (he sleeps relaxed in his place) but if I leave him with other people only for a minute, like going to the bathroom in a strange place, for example, when we visit my friends, he begins whining, barking and panicking?"
