Online Separation Anxiety Training for Dogs

If your dog struggles to be left alone, we can help you understand the process and decide whether a structured, individualized online plan fits your household.

Help for dogs who find alone time difficult

Separation anxiety training is different from teaching everyday manners. We begin with a conversation about your dog’s behavior, your routine, and what the training process will ask of you.

Step 1: Initial online consultation

This approximately 45-minute video meeting is required before enrolling in training. We discuss the role of crates, enrichment, and medication; what gradual training involves; and how to manage absences while helping your dog feel safer.

Step 2: The Light Program

When the program is a good fit, the Light Program includes:

  • A 30-minute initial assessment to identify a starting point
  • Four 30-minute check-ins, scheduled every other week
  • Up to five customized plans per week in the SA Pro Training App, up to 35 in total
  • Coaching and support as you work through the plans

Why training happens online

A person visiting your home can change how your dog behaves. Remote observation and coaching allow us to work with more realistic alone-time situations without a stranger being present.

What you should know before enrolling

Managing absences is an essential part of this work. You may need to arrange your schedule so your dog is not left alone longer than they can comfortably handle. If that isn’t workable right now, the consultation can help you decide whether this is the right time to begin.

A little guidance goes a long way
