Understanding Separation Anxiety
If left alone, does your dog show destructive behaviours such as chewing the furniture and objects around the house? Do they bark or howl when left alone? Does your dog try to escape when you leave or have house training accidents? Does your dog pace, pant and heart rate increase?
Have you got to the stage where you feel you can’t leave the house without your dog as you feel guilty or too stressed to do so? Separation Anxiety impacts the humans as well as the dog.
Separation Anxiety is a phobia. It’s a complicated and devastating disorder where every time your dog is left alone, they experience extreme levels of stress and panic. This floods the brain with stress chemicals and inhibits learning.
This means that your dog will never be able to learn that being left alone is safe and each time they are left, they are being re-traumatised. Unfortunately, most dogs who suffer from separation anxiety tend to get worse if left alone repeatedly.
To find out how it works, please fill out the Separation Anxiety Contact Form to book a free 30-minute consultation. Let’s get started on getting your life back on track!
Questionnaire
This will give me some insight into your dog’s behaviour. Once submitted, I will contact you to schedule a FREE 30-minute call.
Phone Call
We will discuss your situation and options and we will make sure that my specialised training program is a suitable solution to help you and your dog.
Assessment
We will kick start our training with a 90-minute comprehensive assessment to make sure I can provide a tailored solution.
Why do some dogs suffer from Separation Anxiety?
It is not clear why some dogs suffer from this debilitating disorder. It can be triggered by a traumatic experience, changes in the home environment, some have a genetic pre-disposition to this condition and puppies can suffer too. It is important to realise that it is not your fault!
I have extensive training in this area and am a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer. I can help anyone, anywhere, as training is done virtually. Safe alone time is gradually built up over time as we work at the dog’s pace.
Improve the quality of your dog’s life and yours
Let me coach you on a month-to-month basis until your goals are achieved and you are ready to continue progressing and maintaining the training on your own.
Formal 90-Minute Assessment
Our formal 90-minute assessment is designed to:
- Provide an initial introduction to the training program and what it involves.
- Review and confirm information from your questionnaire and take a comprehensive history to generate a customised training plan.
- Understand the relevance of environmental management.
- Provide you with specifics about the training protocol and remote setup.
- Address other factors that may impact your dog’s behaviour and success.
- Conduct a ‘Live Assessment’ (normal leaving routine) to determine an initial starting point.
- Discuss and confirm commitments, from both parties, the building of trust and the level of support our coaching provides to you through the training.
Let’s get started getting your life back, and your dog to feeling comfortable being home alone.
