Helping Dogs Stay Calm When Home Alone
Tracey Bednash, CPDT-KA, CSAP-BC
I understand how frustrating, overwhelming and isolating it is to have a dog with separation anxiety is. If you're ready to help change your dog's feelings about being home alone, to stop feeling like a prisoner in your own home, and to save money on day care, dog sitters etc. then I can help you with a training plan specifically geared toward your dog.
See below for the service option that will work best for you
or contact me here to schedule a free 15-20 minute info call to help you determine that.
Service Options
Our services typically start with a one hour Initial Consult Call to discuss your dog's current needs and issues and to do a baseline assessment. We will determine whether he truly has Separation Anxiety or just a case of FOMO (fear of missing out) which can mimic separation related behaviors.
​
We will discuss the program method and details and what it will require from you. Essentially the requirements are:
-
Commitment to Training (just 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week)
-
Suspend your absences so your dog never goes over his threshold
-
Patience (it's a marathon, not a sprint)
-
A strong desire to help your dog and help you to gain some freedom back!
​
After the Initial Consult Call, if you feel you're a good fit for the program and ready to get your dog on the road to recovery, you can then choose a package depending how much support you desire. Or if you prefer to get started right away, the initial consult will be included in the first Zoom call of either package.

What happens after my chosen package ends?
In most cases separation anxiety is not cured in 8 weeks so continued training will be required. How you continue is entirely up to you! I have a few options or we can always discuss something more custom for you.
​
-
Continue with the same package at a reduced rate or choose a different package
-
Continue with a 4 week "light" package which includes just the customized training plans and unlimited email/text support (no live coaching sessions)
-
Continue with access to the Be Right Back app to set your own training exercises without trainer support
​
But don't worry about that right now! Just know you have options. The important thing now is to just take that first step and get started!
