SEPARATION ANXIETY

Does your dog struggle when left alone? Separation anxiety can be distressing for both dogs and their owners, often showing as barking, whining, pacing, destructive behaviour, toileting indoors, or signs of panic when you leave.

I work with you and your dog to understand the reasons behind their anxiety and create a personalised training plan that builds confidence, independence, and calm behaviour. Using kind, reward-based methods, we focus on helping your dog feel safe and comfortable when spending time alone.

Together, we can work on:

• Understanding your dog’s triggers and emotions
• Building confidence through gradual desensitisation
• Creating positive associations with being alone
• Developing calm routines around departures and arrivals
• Teaching skills that encourage independence

Every dog is different, so training is tailored to suit your dog’s individual needs and progress at a pace they can cope with. My aim is to help your dog feel more secure and give you the tools and support to make life easier for both of you.
