Very succinct information about how to deal with separation anxiety in dogs. Everything made sense and sets expectations about how this issue can be managed.

The course is delivered in a way that allows for time to process the information and also to schedule amongst a busy life.

I would definitely recommend this dog to any person interested in dog behaviour or a new dog owner. The course was easy to understand and very informative. I really enjoyed it. Thank you

This course not only covers the theory but gives practical advice on how to tackle the problem. It is realistic in terms of timescales and what can and cannot be achieved depending on the circumstances.


This will come on very handy for behavioural appointments at work.

Really easy to listen to and absorb as well as being very informative with lots of practical tips

Really enjoyed this course, especially the stages of training. Lots to think about and use in practice.

Well designed, easy to follow CPD on dog anxiety.

Thorough analysis of SA, with staged, constructive treatment plans, very helpful course, thank you!

Excellent course, very clear to understand. Lots of good information to take away, use at home and also has built my confidence to speak to clients who may be experiencing behavioural concerns with their dog at home.

Informative and easy to follow course- learnt a lot of useful information which I will be able to use with future clients

Although we are long out of lockdown, (2024), new owners will find this invaluable.
It will make my life and others like me who Homeboard, a lot less stressful if owners put into practice these exercises.

This webinar was very informative. Caroline explains how small things within the environment or how we react can make an enormous difference to a dog suffering from a separation disorder. The subtle signs to look out for and some great training downloads are included to go through in your own time before you embark on a programme of desnistisation and counter conditioning with your dog. Thank you

The course is easy to follow and understand as it is broken down well. This course is helpful for any pet professional and owners alike. Being a veterinary nurse, pet sitter and trainer the skills taught in this course can be applied to all of these aspects. I recommend this course to anyone looking to understand and learn how to manage separation anxiety in dogs.
