Separation Anxiety Training For Dogs
Rediscover your freedom and help your dog to feel confident alone
Do you feel trapped, isolated, perhaps even held hostage by your dog’s separation anxiety?
Maybe your dog barks and howls up a storm when left alone, or your furnishings take a pummelling whenever you leave the house. Perhaps you come home to puddles on the floor, or you may even feel your blood pressure rising just preparing to leave the house.
Separation anxiety is as stressful for humans as it is for their dogs.
I know, I’ve been there, and I’ve had way more sleepless nights over it than I’d like to admit. Feeling worried about your dog’s emotional state coupled with your own palpable emotions is a horrible place to be, and at times it can feel truly hopeless.
But there is a solution. Your life won’t be like this forever.
What would it feel like to have a clear step by step plan that will enable your dog to comfortably spend time alone?
Humour me and imagine being able to pop to the shops without worrying that you’ll return to an angry neighbour complaining about all the howling and barking…. again! Or to find your living room still in one piece, just the way you left it.
One day, you’ll leave the house, and your dog won’t give a hoot. And then you’ll have a different trench of emotions to deal with!
This isn’t a dream. It is entirely possible for you. You just need a structured training plan that adapts to your individual dog so that you can build your dog’s confidence and comfort in being left alone.
Separation Anxiety Training For Dogs
All of our specialist separation anxiety training packages are undertaken online, which means wherever you are in the world, I can help you!
Separation Anxiety Training is best undertaken remotely. Why? Well, because once we’ve completed your initial training, your dog will need to be alone, of course!
All you need to train with me is a secure internet connection, Zoom, and a camera – so you can keep an eye on your dog’s behaviour when you’re not there.
All my programmes come with an easy to use App, which will give you an instant view of your training plan each day.

Not sure if your dog has Separation Anxiety? Let’s look at the common signs of separation anxiety in dogs.
The following signs may appear when you’re preparing to leave the house or whilst you are away.
- Vocalisation – whimpering, howling, barking or whining
- Agitated, pacing, unable to relax
- Destruction – to their bed, furniture, crate or other items in the home
- Noise Sensitivity
- Hyper alert to your movements and their surroundings
- Crate phobic
- Elimination or defecation when left
Curing dog separation anxiety quickly
The question on every dog owner contending with separation anxiety in their dog is ‘how long will it take?’
And the honest truth is, it takes as long as it takes. I can’t promise you quick fixes because if you rush the training, you’ll only find your dog is more anxious and less able to be alone.
With a gentle start to your training though, you’ll be celebrating small wins before you know it.
You’ll be able to do far more than put the bins out and take a shower stress-free once you’ve completed your training. With time and effort, your dog will be able to relax whilst you pop out for longer stretches, and you’ll finally have some spontaneity back in your life.
