Separation Anxiety Training Method

The method we use for separation training is gradual exposure or desensitization.

Desensitization: “In psychology, desensitization is a treatment or process that diminishes emotional responsiveness to a negative, aversive or positive stimulus after repeated exposure to it.”

Starting with assessing your dog's threshold or how long they can currently be left alone comfortably and consistently.

Through gradually exposing your dog to short absences we are teaching them that alone time is safe and not scary.
