Does your dog whine and bark when left alone? Does s/he frantically try to escape the home or crate? Does she panic, drool, pace or show other signs of stress? If so, your dog may be experiencing separation anxiety. S/he may also be bored or frustrated when left alone, which is slightly different from separation anxiety, but it is not easy for most dog-lovers to distinguish between these two problems. This workshop will teach you how to prevent, diagnose, and treat separation-related anxiety problems through simple techniques that all dog-lovers can carry out in their homes.

We have seen a massive surge in separation anxiety cases lately, owing to the fact that many of us have been home with our dogs throughout much of the pandemic. Many dogs have never developed (or have forgotten) the skill of being calm when left alone. If left untreated, separation anxiety can develop into a severe disorder that is very difficult to resolve. Join us for an hour with one of our expert trainers to prevent, treat, and overcome this disheartening problem. Your dog will be so glad that you did!

*Rarely, a dog’s separation anxiety is so severe that it requires more customized treatment than we are able to present in this workshop. If that is the case, this workshop will help you to diagnose the severity of your dog’s issue and help you to make changes that can prevent it from worsening. Our trainer may also advise you to schedule private training for a deeper dive into your dog’s particular anxiety.
