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.
A really informative webinar on separation anxiety. It will definitely help with being able to give advise to owners struggling with dogs who have separation related problems.
I have done a number of courses with this company, and their courses I have done, are all well explained but also, in a easy way, as I am dyslexic and I have struggled with other courses that I have tried with companies.
very easy to follow programme. well explained. helpful tips on managing owners expectations. would 100% recommend this course
second course i’ve done on this website and it gives you lots of great information and is easy to follow with videos!
for me, having more assessments/questions would be helpful to make it easier to retain the information
A great introduction to canine separation anxiety – useful insights into the complexity of this condition, and really clear, practical steps to start helping your dog.
Really enjoyed the course. Thank you
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.
