Is this program for me?
Does your dog bark when left alone? Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted and trapped in your house? Do you feel like you have run out of options?
A fear-free training focused on gradual progress
— without flooding or punishment —
A fully remote training method to help your pup feel comfortable when home alone using an evidence-based approach.
Trainings can be done in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Italian
What owners say about their dogs when left alone:
“I come home and find the couch torn up and scratches on the door — but he just seems terrified, not naughty”
“He starts pacing and crying the minute I pick up my keys, even before I leave. He won’t eat and drools when I’m gone — it’s like he’s in panic mode.”
I thought it was just obedience, but punishment only made him worse, he’s clearly scared, not defiant.”
“I work full-time — I don’t know how to help him cope with hours alone.“
If this is how you feel, you are not alone

Yes — and remote training is actually the best practice for separation anxiety.
Yes — it is aboslutely important that we suspend absences and that your pup is not left alone until we have built a good amount of comfort around alone time. Training sessions are short and easy (no more than 20 minutes each time) to fit into daily life. But do not worry! As long as your pup is not left alone, it can be you or anyone else you trust staying with him or her. I can brainstorm different options and help you with this key part of the process.
Every dog is different, so giving a potential timeframe would be outward lying. We usually offer to start with a 4 week package in which we deploy a protocol that includes 4 trainings per week and one reassessment. After this initial 4 weeks, we usually take a call with the client to see how to move forward. At the end, the idea is to make sure your dog learns to be comfortable alone, not to put up with it.
No. Dogs of any age can benefit from training; puppies that start early may avoid long-term anxiety, and older dogs can still learn new patterns
All dogs are different so we can’t say they will display the same behaviors but some common ones are barking/howling, destruction (chewing, scratching), house-soiling, pacing, drooling, and attempts to escape when they are left alone. But this is not the only way to determine this. We will start with an initial assessment where I will watch your dog live after you leave your house to determine if they are uncomfortable alone.
Absolutely no! There was nothing you did or did not do as a dog owner/dog parent to cause separation distress in your dog. Rest assure of this. What we know from science is that mammals have types of attachment – these can be secure or insecure, and we know that they can be based on past traumas and life experiences. We know that separation anxiety is deeply related to the type of attachment your dog may have which is not a reflection of your love and care for them.
If you made it this far, here is a bonus of cute pups sleeping for you to paws and enjoy, have a nice day!😉
