Separation Anxiety Training FAQ

How long does it take to work through separation anxiety?

All dogs are individuals with different backgrounds, and every lifestyle and situation is unique. Think months, not weeks.

How do you work through separation anxiety?

Our proven methods are the gold standard in treating canine separation anxiety. Through a personalized gradual departure plan we teach your dog to feel safe, comfortable and relaxed when you leave.

What do you need to start separation training?

A smartphone and a second device such as a laptop or second phone. Access to Google Spreadsheets.

A pet cam is a nice investment for the future but not necessary to get started. I recommend the Wyze Pan Pet Cam.

Training homework is usually about 20-30 minutes once per day, about 5-6 days per week.

Why is virtual training the best for working on separation anxiety?

So as to not create any ‘trainer bias’ by having a trainer actually in your home. Virtual training allows us to create ‘mock trials’ for real life situations.
