  • Dog Separation Anxiety

  • Are you tired of feeling guilty when you leave? Do you want to stop feeling trapped and see your dog happy again? If this is you, Zen Critter can help! We offer a number of training options to help you get your life back. 

  • How does separation anxiety training work?

    Separation anxiety training works by slowly and systematically desensitizing your dog to absences. There is no need for food or aversive techniques. Thousands of dogs have learned to cope with being left alone using this method. The best part: we do not need to be present for training to occur. In fact, it works better if we are not! Training is done online via Zoom. If training was done in your house, your dog's behavior would be completely different, making it difficult to assess the situation properly. With online training, everyone is set up for success!

  • Watson's separation anxiety was a huge source of stress for us. We felt discouraged that none of our efforts seemed to help. We felt as though we were planning our lives around leaving him alone for as little time as possible, and felt guilty whenever we couldn't take him with us. Working with you has decreased these negative feelings, and has helped us to feel empowered with the skills and knowledge to help our pup. We have been extremely appreciative of your thoughtful guidance from the very beginning, and how you've crafted the entire training process to meet our family's unique needs. We are so encouraged by the progress we've seen thus far and are thankful for the opportunity to continue working with you!
