Does your dog have a hard time when you leave the house?

Researchers estimate that up to 20% of dogs become distressed to the point of panic when left alone. This distress is usually referred to as separation anxiety. A puppy or dog who panics when left alone may:

• Howl, bark, and/or whimper for a very long period after you leave
• Eliminate in the house — though they are accident-free when you’re home
• Destroy objects such as remote controls, furniture, and window and door frames 

You — as well as your dog — need peace of mind

Separation anxiety is equally hard on a dog’s guardians. You may wonder when you go out “What will happen this time?” Will your dog chew up the furnishings or bark nonstop to the point where the neighbors leave notes on your door and your landlord threatens eviction? 

Separation anxiety is similar to a panic attack in a human. The veterinarian-recommended treatment for separation-related disorders is “systematic desensitization.”

We’ll work together to teach your dog that your leaving the house is no big deal. We start with easy absences at a level she can handle, and build from there. Once a week we’ll do a live reassessment and check in. 

We’ll get started with a complimentary 30-minute consultation, where we discuss your dog’s behavior, go over the training protocol, and review next steps. If your dog does not have separation anxiety, we will discuss other options such as crate training, management, and enrichment activities.
