PRIVATE DOG TRAINING 

Our Canine Separation Anxiety Program is a private dog training program that is conducted virtually via video chat (on Zoom or Skype) over the course of 8 weeks.  

Get expert guidance from a Certified Dog Trainer while you train your dog or puppy to self-soothe and settle down when left at home alone.  

The  dog training program includes the following:  

•  (4) 2-hour sessions
• (3) 90-minute, weekly or bi-weekly training sessions
• 30-minutes of email, text, and phone support per week  

This holistic, science-based, training program is one of the most effective treatments for dog separation anxiety in existence today. Let us help you rehabilitate your dog or puppy and regain your freedom with our virtual private dog training program!  . 

HOW IT WORKS:

After your consultation and purchase of the program, we will set up a time to hold your introductory session.  After the intro session, weekly online training or video chat sessions will be scheduled for either 1 - 2x/week or 1 - 2x/month, depending on how your dog or puppy progresses through the program.  Generally, it takes anywhere from 8 - 12 weeks to curb your dog's behavioral problems, depending on the severity of their condition. We offer continued support to our separation anxiety clients beyond 8 weeks via discounted virtual sessions until your dog or puppy is rehabilitated to your satisfaction.  

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT & TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS: 

• As part of the program, you will need to confine or restrain your dog or puppy for different phases of the training. You may choose from the following products and equipment based on your budget and the layout of your home:  
• A 6 ft. leash, walk-through gate, or crate & exercise pen combo
• A pet camera or app that will allow you to monitor your dog or puppy's progress throughout the program.  For optimal success, it is essential to plan on NOT leaving your dog or puppy alone for at least 4 weeks once beginning this program. We suggest planning on a scaled-back social schedule and relying on friends, family members, or a reputable doggie daycare or pet sitter whenever necessary during this time.
