Separation Anxiety Training

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • The neighbors are running out of patience with your dog's barking and howling.
  • You've come home to chewed doors, damaged furniture, or ruined carpets.
  • You're still searching for that "indestructible crate".
  • Special food-stuffed toys are ignored if you're not there. 
  • Magic treats, sprays, drops, diffusers, and special collars haven't helped. 
  • Your dog has hurt themself with their behavior when alone.
Separation anxiety causes problems for the whole family. Your dog is suffering and so are your belongings and relationships with neighbors. By some estimates, 50% of dogs will have issues being alone at some point during their life (Bradshaw 2002). Common advice often fails dogs and their people, leaving some to feel there is no solution.

There is Hope

Imagine walking out of your house, leaving your dog behind, without feeling guilty or worried. It can be done! 

As a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer, I can give you the tools and support to overcome separation anxiety.
