Home Alone? YES!
In our latch-key society more and and more pet dogs are presenting with home-alone issues. Does your dog:
- Chew furntiture?
- Dig and rip carpet, chew doorframes, try to escape?
- Injure her or himself? Lick constantly until sore?
- Eliminate in the house?
- Whine, bark, howl when you leave?
- Pace and pant?
As devastating as it is to come home to destruction or even injury, one can only imagine the fright, stress, and anxiety your companion is experiencing just because her favorite person isn't home. Should it be determined that your dog is presenting with separation distress, I can help. With an appropriate behavior modification protocol and (often times) veterinary intervention, there can be a successful outcome.
Working with separation distress takes a lot of patience. You'll agree to an initial time commitment for the startup training, and as a CSAT (Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer), I'll commit to supporting and guiding you throughout the behavior-modification process. I will teach you about your dog's body language and what it tells you, and help you understand how that relates to your training program. With the use of online technology (webcams and smartphones), I'll monitor your dog in real time and give immediate feedback! Being part of a team dedicated to providing the best possible outcome for your dog, I have a network of certified separation anxiety trainers at the ready to answer the tougher questions and to suss out more complex cases. You truly couldn't be in better hands.
