Custom separation anxiety training for you and your dog.
Separation anxiety training changes lives.
Let me help change yours.
My program is unique.
I’ll work with you virtually to adjust training to meet your specific situation. You’ll have weekly one-on-one training with me and online learning materials to give you a complete training program.
My program is designed to give you the tools you need to make real change and a better life for you and your dog.
The first step is to
evaluate your dog on video.
If you find yourself asking how to stop your dog barking all day or how to help your dog feel safe when alone: This training is for you.
To get started, I provide a FREE initial assessment where I will observe your dog’s behavior and discuss it with you.
What is Separation Anxiety?
Separation anxiety is a panic disorder where a dog experiences distress when left alone or separated from their owner.
Common signs of Separation Anxiety…
Barking, Howling, and Whining
Destruction like chewing, digging, or scratching
Pacing or restlessness
Scratching or jumping at crates, gates, doors, or windows
Eating Excessively (like stress-eating)
Refusing to eat until you return
Excessive drooling or sweaty paw prints
Pooping or peeing on the bed, in the crate, or in the house
Escaping
Trembling
And more…
Every dog may express their anxiety a little differently.
If you are seeing any of these or are unsure—then separation anxiety training may be right for you and an Initial Separation Assessment for your dog is a great place to start.
What my clients are saying…
“We have loved working with Liz to help our dog Vigo overcome isolation anxiety. Before starting training with them, we had tried months of unsuccessful anxiety training on our own. When we first started training, Vigo would be OK for 18 seconds and would be super alert waiting for us. We can now leave him for hours and he is relaxed. We can leave the house without the added stress and can enjoy our time out knowing he’s calm. Thank you, Liz for training all three of us!”
—Vigo, Dani, and Adam
What my clients are saying…
“I *cannot believe* the progress I’m seeing in Morris. He has gone from anxious whining, panting, and pacing to being a sleepy puddle on the couch during my increasingly long absences.
I also can’t believe the progress I’m seeing in myself, and in my relationship with Morris. The safer he feels during absences, the more ease I feel about leaving him, and the more joyful our bond can be. I always had compassion for Morris, but it is so much easier to show up with patience and love for your pet when you no longer feel like your entire life has been derailed because of them.
This training, and Liz’s support in particular, has unquestionably been worth the investment. It has been the difference between having a clear plan and feeling lost; between having a partner and feeling totally alone.”
—Team Morris
What my clients are saying…
“Our dog has crippling separation anxiety. Liz gave us the tools we need to slowly work on it. They held our hands through the entire process and even helped us set up our own long-term training goals. They are a wonderful trainer and really worked with us to personalize a plan when all of the usual techniques simply did not work on our unique dog. Liz genuinely cares about all of their training [clients] and really wants them to succeed.”
—Ash, Shelli, and Bryan
What my clients are saying…
“We've been working with Liz since the pre-pandemic days, when they taught us polite play skills in a doggy socialization group. Their expertise in separation anxiety has been life-changing for my little guy (and really educational for me!). Since working with Liz, Bowie's comfort level while being left alone has gone up significantly. I see progress every week, I know we're in good, caring hands, and I have no doubt that we'll get to our goals with Liz's guidance!”
—Bowie & Cristina
