Discover Your Canis Major
online training for separation anxiety and other separation-related behaviors in dogs
You’ve tried everything to help your dog feel safe at home alone.
does this sound familiar?
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.
