Reviews


Caroline is so knowledgeable and the way in which the course was presented was very easy to understand and follow. Found the content and the downloads very useful and will be using these techniques to support my clients who have dogs with separation anxiety.
I will definitely be completing further courses with Caroline and hoping to attend some of the face-to-face workshops as well.

This was an excellent review of canine separation anxiety. It covered the diagnosis and treatment in great detail and is something I can use on my own pet. I feel much more confident tackling separation anxiety after watching this.



I found this course very well organised and informative.
It was delivered in easy to use segments with clear videos.


This was a good course! I loved that you could study in your own pace. Though I would’ve wanted to see more real life videos of how to train some things. All in all good! 🙂

Having attended many of Caroline’s courses, this course is again very useful and informative. Caroline has such and vast knowledge and put this across in a way that is easy to grasp.
This is the first one I have done online and it works really well.
Thanks Caroline

Lots of handy tips, along with important stages on how to help a dog become more at ease with being left on their own. But also covers general anxiety tips too which was really handy and how to tell the difference between separation anxiety and general anxiety.

Very user friendly and simple to navigate course. Caroline explains a very complex issue in a clear and easy to understand manner. Will look forward to using course content to educate clients at the practice I work in, especially the owners of puppies obtained during lockdown. I would 100% recommend this course to all veterinary staff and dog owners, as a tool to preventing separation problems from arising. For anyone already experiencing separation issues with their dog, this course will be extremely useful but I would suggest they seek Caroline’s help (or another behaviourist) direct due to the complex nature of the condition.

magnificent. Easy to understand Thank you very much

Clear and concise, a good introduction to working with dogs that may have separation anxiety and helpful for recognising when they may have other issues with similar symptoms/behaviours.

I work as a dog handler at a doggy daycare and I’ve found this course to be very informative. I have also completed other canine courses from the selection available and feel it really helps with my understanding.
