If you have a dog who cries, barks, paces, drools, eliminates, destroys things or hurts themself when left alone, you are no doubt at your wit's end. It is so painful to witness and experience. Rest assured, there is hope, and you have come to the right place.
Separation anxiety is a heartbreaking panic disorder that can shatter the quality of life of both dog and owner. It affects millions of dogs in the United States so if you think you’re alone, you’re most certainly not.
Our trainer, Toni Clarke, is a certified separation anxiety trainer (CSAT). This means she has specialized education and expertise in working with these often complex cases.
Believe it or not, separation anxiety work is done remotely. That's because when the trainer coaches from a distance, the training set-up mimics real life absences, which is vital for progress.
We work using easy to use video chat platforms such as Zoom and FaceTime. Not tech-savvy? We will guide you through the set-up. All you need is a computer or mobile phone and access to the internet.
There is a vast array of misinformation out in the ether about what separation anxiety is and how to make the behavioral manifestations improve. We use the most studied, up-to-date techniques to work with your pup to desensitize them to their fear, much as we might desensitize a human with a phobia about spiders. The devil is very much in the details as to whether a protocol is successful, so put yourself in the hands of a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT). Learn more about this condition and the techniques used to alleviate it here.
We schedule a free 30-minute call with you and you fill out a form you will receive giving details of your dog and current problem.
We conduct an initial assessment of your dog and craft a specifically tailored plan designed to get you on the road to relief.
We work with you every day, 5 days a week, adjusting the plan's criteria depending on the speed of progress and cheering you on.
