Your own Separation Anxiety coach in your pocket.
.With dogs who are frightened of being home alone, we have two distinct categories:
1. Dogs who don't like being on their own.
2. Dogs who don't like being separated from their owner, even when left with other people.(hyper attachment) and
There could also be frustration, a fear of missing out.
This is why the initial training assessment is so vital to the programmes. It really takes a great deal of commitment from you and the family. Now with the amazing App (designed by Julie Naismith) Separation Training is so much simpler. We will never push your dog to where he is feeling uncomfortable or anxious. Every stage of the training is based on teaching your dog that you leaving is safe. We call it "Safe Absences"
