Separation Anxiety Membership

It’s time to remove the guesswork and feel good about leaving your dog alone.

Struggling with Separation Anxiety?

Proven methods, guided by a qualified specialist so that you can live your life and know that your dog is calm and safe.

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 would LOVE to work directly with a specialist, but that just isn’t in your budget right now.

🐾 You’re struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, frustration, and isolation because you can’t leave your dog, but no one seems to understand.

This is where I come in.

I know what you’re facing, and I know how frustrating and isolating it can be.

Sharing your life with a separation anxiety dog is hard. It impacts your everyday in a way that few other behavioural problems do, and there are so many people trying to tell you what to do about it (often with a heaping side of ‘you caused this’).

But I don’t think that this is your fault. I’m not here to add more guilt and shame - no matter what you’ve tried, even though it may not have worked, you did it because you love your dog and you were trying to help them. All you need is the right approach!

I’m a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer, which is the gold standard specialist certification. I work with separation anxiety dogs every single day, and the methods that I use have helped thousands of dogs learn that being alone is safe and okay.

I’ve created an online program that can walk you through the entire approach: figuring out where to start and what to look out for, how to build training plans, how and when to push forward (and even more importantly, when to pull back!), how to identify other contributing factors to their behaviour, and so much more. All wrapped up in a community of other separation anxiety guardians facing the exact same issue, so that you can see you aren’t alone.

This membership has helped so many dogs feel safe and calm when they’re home alone, and it can help yours too.

🐾 To be able to leave the house and feel certain that your dog is safe, calm, and resting comfortably

🐾 To know that the information you’re getting is sound, evidence-backed (and will actually work!)

🐾 A judgment-free space of like-minded pet parents to share your journey with

🐾 The flexibility to fit training around the rest of your life, instead of vice versa

If that resonates, and you want...

… then join our 6-month membership! For just £55/month, you can get all of the above and more and finally be able to see progress in your home alone training. This is a rolling enrolment so you can start anytime - including TODAY!

What people are saying

  • "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."

  • “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”

  • “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."

Why People Have Chosen Us

  • Evidence-backed information. We know what works because it’s been studied, and we don’t make claims that can’t be backed up with data.

  • A welfare-driven approach. We don’t just care about our dogs barking because our neighbours are mad at us, we care because we know they’re suffering. We refuse to employ any strategies that will add more distress to our dogs or suppress their behaviour while continuing their suffering.

  • Embracing the connection and love between you and your dog, not trying to snuff it out. We understand that dogs who feel emotionally supported are more likely to overcome their anxieties, not less.

  • Looking at the whole picture. Your dog’s behaviour is a complex product of multiple factors; and so for the best results, we need to look at everything, not just their alone time.

  • Helping you feel less alone. Not being able to leave your dog can make you feel isolated and cut off from the world. This membership is intended to provide you a community of people who get it, who understand the challenges you’re facing because they’re facing the same thing.

  • Proven results. Thousands of dogs have overcome separation anxiety thanks to this approach!

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.
