Is this program for me?
“My dog is fine the moment I am home but falls apart the second I leave“
“I haven’t left the house in months because I can’t bear to hear him cry.”
“I’ve tried everything I’ve read online, and nothing seems to work.”
“I feel like I’m failing my dog, no matter what I try.”
“I’ve stopped making plans because I can’t ask anyone to deal with the barking.”
“Every time I close the door, the guilt hits me before I even get in the car.”
“I just want to know: does this actually get better?”
Yes, it can get better. And no, Separation Anxiety is not the guardian’s fault
Is this really separation anxiety?
Not sure if this is separation anxiety, or if your dog is just still settling in? It’s a fair question, and a common one.
True separation anxiety isn’t about spite, stubbornness, or your dog “getting back at you.” It’s panic. Your dog isn’t misbehaving when you leave, they’re genuinely afraid of being left alone, even in their own home. Because the fear comes from your departure. That distinction matters, because it changes what actually helps.
It’s also normal for a newly adopted dog, or one who just went through a big change, to need time to adjust. Some unsettled behavior in the first few weeks is expected and often improves on its own with routine and patience. If it’s been going on for months, seems to be getting worse instead of better, or your dog shows real panic (not just mild whining), that’s usually a sign it’s worth getting support.
Either way, you don’t have to figure out which one it is on your own.
Common signs of separation anxiety in dogs
Every dog shows it differently, but the most common signs include:
- Barking, whining, or howling that starts shortly after you leave
- Destructive behavior: chewing doors, furniture, or window sills, often near exits
- Pacing, drooling, or panting, even when it’s not hot
- Accidents in the house, even in a fully house-trained dog
- Attempts to escape crates, rooms, or the house itself
- Refusing to eat or settle while you’re gone, even with toys or treats available
Some dogs show it the moment you pick up your keys. Others seem fine for a while, then spiral after you’ve been gone longer than they can handle. If any of this sounds familiar, an initial assessment is the best way to understand exactly what’s going on with your dog specifically, not just what’s “normal” in general.
Separation anxiety doesn’t just affect the dog.
It affects your whole life: the trips you stop taking, the friends you stop seeing, the guilt every time you close the front door and the fear of what your dog might do when you leave the house. I have worked with owners who hadn’t left their house in months because of it.
Through remote training and a protocol built around your specific dog, we work side by side, in small steps your dog can actually handle, until being alone stops feeling like a crisis.
And yes, it does get better. Most families start seeing real change within the first few weeks. And the goal isn’t just a calmer dog. It’s you getting your life back too, in whatever language works best for you: sessions are available in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Italian.
The idea is that our training never backfires into more fear.
As a certified separation anxiety trainer, I never push your dog past what they can handle. For that, I work using gradual increases and build tolerance to being alone in small, manageable steps and always checking up with your dog to make sure they are fine.
Each plan starts with an initial consultation, followed by a daily training routine built around your dog specifically, with video and data analysis and weekly check-ins to track real progress. Does it get better? Yes, it does! Most families start noticing calmer, quieter, more relaxed dogs within the first few weeks, and just as importantly, more freedom and less guilt for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes — and remote training is actually the best practice for separation anxiety.
Training and medication aren’t either/or, they often work best together. I’m not a veterinarian and can’t prescribe medication, but I can help you recognize when a vet or veterinary behaviorist consult may be worth exploring alongside training.
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.
Yes, when there’s a clear plan in place. Part of the initial assessment is understanding exactly what happened and building safety measures, like management strategies, muzzle training if needed, around that specific history.
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.
