Home school: SEPARATION ANXIETY
Who are these packages for?
-
Puppies and dogs of any age exhibiting fear, arousal, and anxiety either when left alone or when separated from a specific person, usually exacerbated by confinement - I recommend discontinuing the use of a crate for these dogs and contacting your vet immediately for medication to relieve the panic
-
This kind of work is always done virtually so the trainer can see what actually happens when you leave without distracting your dog because your dog can't practice being alone if the trainer is there
What do I get?
-
You will learn how to desensitize your dog to your absence gradually and how to set up for success
-
You can attend office hours with questions outside of sessions.
-
Tanzi will communicate with your vet and/or vet behaviorist as needed
What if I need help after my initial plan?
-
It is not unusual to work for 7-12 months on this type of issue
-
You have the option to add additional weeks for $95/week at any time once you are an established client
-
You may also add on training help for other behavior concerns with packages from the Services page
What if I can't afford training?
-
In an ideal world, trainers help you help your dog as efficiently as possible. Sometimes, it's just not in your budget. For DIY separation anxiety work, we recommend searching for the book Be Right Back by Julie Naismith.

We'll discuss:
-
Your dog's behavior
-
Ideas to manage the situation to make your dog as comfortable as possible
-
A plan to modify your dog's behavior over time so you can have flexibility and freedom again
