Separation-Related Behavior Problems

Your learning journey will start with a 60-90 minute initial consultation:
The Consultation time is done by video meeting and includes the recording and additional resources to follow up. During the consultation we will get to know each other, we will go over your dog’s history, we will discuss management strategies, set goals and develop a plan to help your dog learn to feel comfortable at home alone. Also, we will do a simple exercise to make an initial assessment and determine our starting point. This exercise will also show you what the learning/training sessions will look like.
Our Method
Our Method Is systematic desensitization and it is considered the gold standard treatment for separation related behaviors in dogs. In other words, we gradually expose your dog to home alone time without fear, in incremental steps working at your dogs pace. And once we have some time accumulated, we then slowly start layering in more uncomfortable and real life scenarios.
What is offered:
- Daily, customized training plan and feedback
- Access to the exclusive SA Pro Training App where you will access training plans and track your dog’s progress (for both smartphone & computer)
- Access to resources & materials to support you on your journey
- WhatsApp support so you get your questions answered in real-time
