Separation Anxiety
Training & Support
When being alone feels hard for a dog, it can show up in ways that are upsetting and exhausting for everyone involved. I work with dogs who struggle with separation anxiety by building confidence, predictability, and coping skills over time, using kind, science-based methods.
This service is for you if...
-
You notice your dog struggling when they’re left alone
-
Departures or routine changes seem stressful for your dog
-
Your dog feels more at ease with company than during alone time
-
You’re open to a step-by-step approach to helping your dog feel safer when alone
How Training Works
Foundational Support First
We begin with groundwork designed specifically for separation-related behavior, before any departures happen.
Guided, Gradual Departures
Practice happens in small, intentional steps, following a structured plan that prioritizes your dog’s comfort.
Video Review & Feedback
You’ll share videos so I can help assess body language, progress, and when to move forward or pause.
Building Long-Term Confidence
As your skills grow, guidance becomes lighter—so you’re supported, but not dependent.

Getting Started
All training services begin with an initial consultation. Consultations are 60–90 minutes and focus on learning about your dog, reviewing history, and assessing current behaviors. This session is less hands-on training and more about creating a thoughtful, customized plan moving forward.
