Separation Anxiety Dog Training

Helping you achieve safe, comfortable alone time for your dog

Are you ready to leave your home without the stress of worrying whether your dog is okay, or if your house is destroyed? Are you tired of wading through a sea of conflicting information online and trying to figure things out yourself, and you want separation anxiety training that removes the guesswork? Training with me means you are receiving the gold standard of separation anxiety training with maximum support - with proven, up to date methods, daily personalised training plans, individual data tracking, weekly check-ins, and all your questions answered. All entirely virtual, so you can train from the comfort of your own home.

Overcoming Separation Anxiety is Possible

Is this you?

You can’t leave your dog for more than a few minutes (or even seconds!) without panic - barking, whining, destroying your home, or even hurting themselves. You feel overwhelmed by all of the conflicting information out there; and yet, you feel like you’ve tried all of it and nothing has helped. You’re struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation because you can’t leave your dog, but no one understands.

If you’re ready to leave all of that behind and you want to live your life again, knowing that your dog is safe, calm, and comfortable alone, then you’re in the right place. No matter where you’re starting from, there is a path forward that is evidence-based, welfare-driven, and highly effective.

Course FAQ

  • This course is for people who share their life with a separation anxiety dog. The content is designed to help people who are brand new to dealing with separation anxiety, as well as people who have made some progress but gotten stuck. It is intended to be a more affordable alternative to working one-on-one with a specialist and provide a community of pet parents who are experiencing the same struggle!

  • Not at all! This course is entirely virtual, so you can attend from anywhere in the world. That’s why the meetings are recorded too!

  • Separation anxiety is a behaviour issue rooted in emotion and fear, and although the approach laid out in this course has a very high success rate, it is not an overnight fix. You’re about to embark on a journey, so spreading the material across several months enables me to provide support through all the ups and downs!

  • Yes! This course is designed for all types of separation-related distress; no matter how ‘bad’ you think it is, you’ll find tools here that can help!

  • Working directly with a specialist is absolutely the most effective and efficient way to see progress. Since this is guiding you through creating your own training plans rather than having them tailor made for you, your progress might be a little slower - but you can still get there!

  • Regressions and plateaus in training are NORMAL! We have a whole section of the course that will be dedicated just to that. You can also bring your struggles and frustrations to the Facebook group and Zoom calls - we’ve all been there, we can help each other through it!

  • All distress, no matter the age or circumstance, should be taken seriously! Whether your dog has been ‘diagnosed’ with separation anxiety or not, this course is designed to help any dog who struggles with alone-time distress overcome those big feelings.

What people are saying

  • “We are now at the finish line of our 6-month separation anxiety membership with Alyssa. Our dog Blue is a challenge in every way possible but him not being alone has always been the biggest challenge of all. I felt trapped in my own home, reliant on my partner and had to pause my studies. Alyssa did some individual sessions with us and we already saw loads of success, so of course we wanted to join the membership. And now our boy who struggled so hard the moment someone left the door can be left alone for more than 5 hours. It takes time, training and patience but with the ton of information and support you get from the membership, it is all possible. I am so unbelievably thanful for Alyssa for giving us back our freedom and, to be honest, our sanity. Thank you Alyssa, I am so glad I found you on Tik Tok and decided to connect. You've changed our lives.Love, Josi, Jonas and Blue”

  • "Alyssa is such a wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable trainer! I’ve worked with three other trainers and separation training programs but this training membership was the most helpful by far. I came across Better Nature Dog Training’s account on TikTok (thank you, algorithm gods) and when before I started the training, I could only leave my sound sensitive, fear reactive, anxious dog, Avi, long enough to take out the trash or she would start howling and whining. This had been going on since she was a 6-month old puppy and my life has been incredibly confined for the past 2 years and I was feeling despondent and unsure if anything would change. Now she’s able to be alone at home for 3 hours and it has been a game changer for my mental health (and Avi’s too). I can’t thank Alyssa enough for how supportive she’s been. The materials don’t require too much time or energy but are thorough and easy to understand. Alyssa creates a space without any judgment and it may be her energy that attracts certain clients but every person in our cohort was lovely and so understanding and encouraging. Managing your pup’s separation anxiety can be a deeply isolating and lonely experience and compassionate guidance is much needed – I can’t think of a better person than Alyssa to support you on that journey."

  • “Me and my dog Davis were part of the first run of the 6 months membership. I can't stress it enough, Alyssa is great, the course was great. It gives you everything you need to understand your dog's separation anxiety, guides you through training and training schedules, and provides you with so much more information. Even though I'm a psychologist and I know how desensitisation works, there were so many things I didn't even consider when it came to Davis. After trying so many different kinds of training and spending so much money on trainers, dog sitters and time on being frustrated, Alyssa's helped Davis and me so much. And it worked, I can confidently say that we're at 77-90 minutes by the end of the course. To be fair, I'm sure we would be at 2-3 hours now if I was more consistent with the training! I'm sad that the 6 months are over, I enjoyed the group calls very much! Alyssa, I wish you all the best! You're great! Thank you so much!

  • "I originally started this course when our elderly dog passed away and my dog Dave was no longer able to be home alone without panicking almost immediately. He would scratch the floor by the door, chew the door knob, and cry while running through the house. We worked through the 6 month membership and made steady progress! Dave is now comfortable being alone for an hour, and it is such a relief to see him just snoozing away on camera! Alyssa was always there to support by answering questions on our group calls, or on the Facebook support group."
