Separation Anxiety-related issues are becoming very common after going through almost two years of being home with our dogs constantly. Overcoming this can be a huge challenge, because going back to leaving them again the same way we used to is not always going to be the best solution! If your dog has developed anxiety, or if you need help figuring out how to teach your dog how to be calm when left alone, this package may be for you.

Over the course of this experience, we’ll cover:

• Getting to know you and your dog and their history.

• Assessing what type and severity of separation issue we’re dealing with, and come up with a personalized training and management plan based on your daily schedule and lifestyle.

• Working on cues and exercises that aid in treating separation issues.

• Each session, we’ll check in on how things are going, and how we can either adjust goals, or adjust the training to achieve the results we’re looking for.

• Weekly (or at your own pace) check-ins to keep you and your pup on the right track to successfully leaving your dog home alone.

Package includes:

5 sessions: one initial 90 min virtual session, five 30-45min virtual follow-ups within a three month period, a personalized training plan and management plan, and email check-ins whenever you need them
