This 4-week online training course for separation anxiety is based on my own personal experience with my first dog, my work with hundreds of clients’ dogs and studies of separation anxiety to help you prevent and treat your dog’s anxiety.
Separation anxiety is often one of the most difficult behaviour problems to deal with because it can quickly develop into a deeply rooted issue that can be difficult to change. The longer a dog has been suffering from it the harder the training can be. But it doesn’t mean we can not help our dogs or resolve the issue, there’s always hope and the training will be worth the effort. Knowing how to help your dog efficiently and starting the training as soon as possible are the best ways to go!
Creating a positive association with being alone, desensitisation and teaching new ways to cope are the key elements of this online training course.
This course is for dogs suffering from separation anxiety but works well for preventing it. So whether your dog has separation anxiety or not, this is a good training course for you!
Each week you’ll receive an e-package with useful videos, fact sheets, coursework and daily training tasks. You can ask questions any time via the blue round chat button on the bottom right corner of your screen.
