Start Your Dog Separation Anxiety Training Program Here!
Separation anxiety is not your fault.
Separation anxiety in dogs is both common and well-studied!
I use a hybrid of one-on-one dog separation anxiety protocol with an online, human-focused course. My hybrid program creates a transparent, effective, and consistent experience for dog parents.
After 5 months you will be ready to lead your dog’s journey to comfort. You will be empowered to assess your dog’s progress and what level of ongoing support you need.

A clear path to relief! Confidence that you are helping your dog and that you will get your freedom and flexibility back.

Choice and flexibility that matches your needs. You can buy your training one month at a time as matches your support needs and budget - you don’t get locked into subscriptions or endless packages.
Learning Objectives and Price Breakdown
Length of the Dog Separation Anxiety Training Program: 5 Months
Module 1: At the end of this Module clients will be able to complete missions (what we call practice sessions in the separation anxiety protocol), describe dog behavior in their notes, identify their priorities for training, and choose the correct order of steps in a mission.
Module 2: Clients will be able to identify common mistakes when writing missions and construct two consecutive missions when given mission parameters.
Module 3: Clients will be able to design all their missions when given weekly parameters and assess whether they need to adjust any missions based on their dog’s behavior in previous missions.
Module 4: Clients will be able to choose their own parameters based on assessment behavior, apply data-sorting skills, and analyze their dog’s progress and patterns over time.
Module 5: Clients demonstrate their readiness to continue training independently.
After completing 5 months of modules, you have the tools you need to decide what ongoing support you require. My default and minimum recommendation is ongoing, 6-week check-ins.
What to expect in dog separation anxiety training
Weekly Time Commitment: 4 to 6 hours weekly
During a Dog Separation Anxiety Training Program package we meet live on Zoom once weekly for a 1-hour reassessment.
Over the course of every week in between Zoom sessions, you are assigned up to four 30-40 minute “missions,” or practice sessions. I write each step-by-step mission individualized to your dog and your unique situation. You take behavior and data notes from your missions and submit them back to me.
You also watch, listen, and submit online learning materials via Thinkific course to help you gain confidence taking on more independent training. The material and assignments generally takes another 20-60 minutes each week.
Other Training Commitments:
Suspending absences other than practice sessions especially in the early months of separation treatment. To learn more about this check out the blog: Creative Ways to Suspend Absences
Committing to months or more of protocol - for lasting results and treating the root of the problem.
