"If my dog was suffering from separation distress, I would know"!

We always assume that dogs showing separation related behaviour will bark, destroy the place, or howl when they are left.

And it is indeed very common. Though there are other more subtle behaviours that will show us our dog isn't feeling good when home alone.
Some dogs will shake, salivate, pant, or pace for example.

And if those behaviours are not a nuisance or making any damage to the house, they are still the expression of a real distress that needs to be addressed by a fear free certified behaviour consultant / trainer.

Is your dog struggling when you leave? We can help you teach your fur friend that you leaving is not that bad after all.

Have you ever wondered how to prevent separation anxiety in your new addition?

Contrary to popular belief YOU haven't created your dog's separation distress, but it's also possible you couldn't have prevented it in the first place without help!

Dogs are social animals who feel safe in numbers, so they may be distressed when left on their own - especially when young!

Some dogs may even be more genetically prone to separation distress, so please be kind to yourself and your pup if you're going through this presently. There is help for you!

We often assume that our dogs will be okay when we leave them, but for some, that could not be further from the truth.

When they join our families, they everything they knew behind, whether we are adopting a puppy or rescuing an older dog.

We then become their whole world, and watching us walk out the door CAN be a huge source of stress. WE know we are coming back, but they don't and it is our job to make sure they learn that in a gentle way - at THEIR pace.

The old fashioned advice everywhere on the internet will tell you that "they'll get over it" or "let them cry it out". And sure, dogs who are not experiencing difficulties with being left probably will be fine. But wouldn't it be nicer to save them the stress of having to go through that kind of experience?

And WE have to keep in mind the 20% of dogs who do struggle with separation won't get over it and will need an adapted fear-free, subthreshold program to get them to be happy home alone.

Do you feel like you have tried everything you read and heard to treat your dog's separation anxiety?

We feel you! It is easy to get
lost in all that information, and unfortunately there is a lot of harmful advice on the internet.
