STOP the panic! Your dog’s separation anxiety doesn’t need to control your life.

Let’s work together to create a custom step-by step training plan to help your dog learn calm alone time and help you gain the confidence and clarity you need.

Does this sound like you?

Your dog starts to whine and pace when you reach for your keys or put on your shoes. Then the panic when you actually leave! Barking, howling, drooling…..even hurting themselves. We love our dogs too much to let them suffer.

It’s not surprising if you find yourself declining social invitations feeling guilty when you just leave the house to get groceries.

I know first hand how isolating and lonely having a dog with separation anxiety can be, and it’s more common than you think, you’re not alone! But the longer you wait, the harder it is to change the behavior.

Puppies Deserve to feel Safe and Sound, from day one!

Teaching your new puppy to feel safe home alone is critical!

“He was ok when he was a puppy, barked a bit when we left , normal stuff, then he just started freaking out when he was home alone”

“She never loved her crate, but she tolerated it”

“My puppy always just slept when I was gone, then one day my neighbor called and said they were crying all day”

These are all true stories. Well meaning puppy parents who thought their puppies felt ok about being home alone or in crates only to discover their adolescent dog panicking when home alone!

If you have a new puppy in the house and your not sure if they are experiencing separation anxiety or normal “puppy stuff” a professional opinion could be the difference between a few weeks of work and years of heartache.

All puppies can benefit from learning to feel safe when alone in a slow and controlled manner.
