Online training support for separation anxiety dogs and their guardians
An integrated approach to separation anxiety and other separation-related behaviors with a focus on enhancing overall well-being
You’ve tried everything to help your dog feel safe when left home alone
You’re committed to going at your dog’s pace, but conflicting advice, slow progress, and regressions make you question whether you’re on the right path.
Your dog’s progress is complicated by other challenges like fear of people, sound sensitivities, or pain.
Managing alone-time feels isolating and exhausting—you’re organizing everything on your own and feeling burnt out.
You know it takes a village but don’t know how to recruit qualified support from other dog professionals.
You understand that recovery is an ongoing process, and you’re eager to find community support to celebrate the small wins along the way.
