​Separation Anxiety isn’t about “bad behaviour. ” It’s an emotional problem, based on your dog’s very real fear of being alone. A phobia, much like being afraid of heights or spiders.

​

It's stressful for both dog and owner and can make you feel isolated when you can't leave your dog alone; even just nipping to the shop can result in howling or scratched doors.

 

This programme requires commitment and dedication from you to get results. Separation Anxiety is a complicated condition that is not fixed overnight and takes time and effort to resolve. Gradually building up the time that your dog can be left alone. It is important that your dog is not left on their own in between sessions and this is something that can be discussed during the sessions.

 

I recommend the 10 week programme as it gives your dog the best chance to overcome their fear of being alone, whilst providing you with the support to help your dog.

All sessions with your behaviourist are remote so that your dogs behaviour can be monitored and not be influenced by me being there.

Both programmes are intensive and you'll be in contact with your trainer several times a week.
