Are you and your dog suffering from separation anxiety?
Separation anxiety is treatable!
What is separation anxiety in dogs?
Symptoms can include, but are not limited to:
- Excessive barking, whining, crying and howling.
- Chewing or destroying floors, walls, doors, windows, particularly around entrances.
- Frantic attempts to escape, sometimes to the point of self harm.
- Soiling (especially when the dog is otherwise house-trained).
- Getting anxious well before the owner leaves. Think panting, pacing, drooling.
The training approach:
We will be working remotely on Zoom in order for us to focus on you leaving your dog, not me! Remote work allows me to help clients worldwide. Through our work, I will teach you how to become an expert at reading your dog’s body language as you work through your daily customized plans.
The keys to success:
Suspending Absences
This is the most important thing you can do and it is not forever! If your dog is left alone and continues to experience panic, improvement won’t be possible. It takes a village. Enlist friends, family, neighbors, dog sitters, daycare etc.
Humane Methods
The use of aversive tools like, shock collars, shaking cans, anti-bark or citronella collars can not be used. These tools will hamper the training we do and can make the anxiety worse.
Engagement
Guardians will be doing the training. I will be supporting you and creating customized training plans for you to follow, in addition to reviewing your videos and evaluating your dog when alone to be sure we are working at your dog’s pace. Separation anxiety training takes a big commitment from the guardian. Be prepared to spend some time each day.
Equipment
This training is most effective when done remotely. But don’t worry, you don’t need to be tech-savvy. I can help set you up. You will need a webcam, laptop or tablet, and mobile device.

FAQ’s
Is my dog stubborn or malicious?
Will a crate help?
Dogs who are suffering from separation anxiety usually don’t do well in a crate. Crates add another barrier in between your dog and you, so it is like a double whammy and can make the anxiety worse. They can injure themselves trying to ferociously escape. In some instances, we will use a dog proof room or baby gate.
