Imagine leaving them - confident that they
can remain cool, calm and relaxed in your absence working with an s.a. behaviour consultant
You'll gain expert level insight into your dog's triggers, stressors and crucially how to read their responses before they experience a reaction. You'll be following an individual plan devised specifically for your dog. I'll be analysing the data throughout - adjusting exercises as we go along. You'll be confident in the knowledge that we've optomised all variables to support your dog going forward. Beyond our Programme you'll always have me to call on for any questions or concerns. You can also opt for add on services at a much reduced fee |
You always come back so why are they falling apart, frantic, destructive or seeking escape routes? Maybe you've spent time trying lots of different tips, to no avail. You're confused, frustrated and trying not to feel resentful towards your dog. BUT whatever you've done hasn't produced lasting results, or perhaps you're just beginning to research solutions.
This isn't what you signed up for or imagined when you got your dog. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and wonder just where you can begin. Don't waste any more time or money on one size fits all solutions. This isn't a one size problem, you need expert guidance that's built specifically around your dog(s) and YOU! Systematic desensitisation is the gold standard for treating Separation Anxiety in dogs. Experience this scientifically verified, kind, proven method that gets positive results. |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUETIONS
Why is S.A. work done remotely?
S.A. training is specific to the dog being Home Alone and/or away from their key person/people. A Behaviourist being present during training alters the situation we're trying to address.
How long does it take?
Programme length varies from 4 - 8 weeks. Whatever tolerance they achieve after an initial programme with me, you'll have the option to add on further weeks or I'll give you the tools to carry on with lighter direction.
My dog is fine as long as someone's around do they really have S.A.?
Separation Anxiety is an umbrella term for wide ranging presentations. It doesn't have to describe a very strong, hyper attachment to their person/people.
I have a puppy aren't they likely to just outgrow it?
Dog's are social beings who thrive in our company, a new puppy has to be taught that being alone is something they can cope with, through very gentle exposure and puppy specific exercises.
What can you offer that I haven't already tried?
Researching S.A. solutions? You'll come accross lots and lots of advice. Some of it is inaccurate, most of it is inadequate. If it did work I wouldn't have this job. The method I use has helped 1000s of dogs. (Truth bomb alert) It takes patience and commitment but it is very worth it.
I've already tried gradual, systematic desensitisation. It didn't it work for me?
One of the benefits of having expert eyes on your dog's training is that I can identify and share with you some very subtle indicators that your dog may be struggling. This helps prevent regressions, plateaus and failures. When and how we incorporate leaving Cues into training (picking up keys, changing shoes, starting the car etc.) is different to other desensitisation training systems, this can be a real game changer for many dogs.
What if my dog is just playing me up, they're not scared, but they are causing a nuisance when they're Home Alone?
As clever as your dog is they don't have the emotional or intellectual capacity for revenge! Your dog may not be afraid but could be bored, frustrated and suffering from FOMO. This can lead to some destructive and potentially dangerous behaviours. But given the right plan, plus ensuring their needs are met can be some of the quickest to respond.
