Separation Anxiety

Do you feel like you’ve tried everything to fix your dog’s separation anxiety?

You can feel like your life is on hold when you have a dog who panics when you leave them.

You can feel like a prisoner in your own home.  Seeing your dog so unhappy is really distressing. You probably feel like you’ve tried everything that’s going, had loads of different advice from all sorts of sources…  

You may have spent a fortune on anxiety wraps, diffusers, tried crates and calming chews and had people tell you to “just let them get on with it”

The reason none of these things have worked isn’t because you’ve got a disobedient dog, or that you’re a bad or incompetent owner…

It’s because separation anxiety is a panic disorder

Your dog has a phobia of being home alone  The treatments and methods you often find on the internet don’t get to the heart of your dog’s panic.  

In fact some advice, like letting your dog bark it out, make your dog’s fear worse! 

Separation Anxiety training

The training method that does work is the same as we use for human phobias.

It’s called desensitisation

To get your dog comfortable being Home Alone you have to gradually expose them to tiny amounts of alone time.

“Oh, but I’ve tried that too, and that didn’t work either”

Maybe.  More likely we think we’ve tried desensitisation, but we’ve done so without being given the rules.

Desensitisation is a precise method

Do it right and your dog learns that being home alone is safe.  

Do it wrong and you don’t make any progress, or even worse you make your dog more scared of being alone.

The method I teach does follow the rules, and when you follow the rules it works.

The method is simple, it’s science based, and it works

The method I teach has takes the rules of desensitisation training and makes them easy.

Not easy to get quick results – you still have to put a lot of work in, but the method is easy to follow and easy to understand.

There are no guarantees, but the easier you find it to follow, the more likely you and your dog are to get results.
