SEPARATION ANXIETY SUPPORT
Help your dog feel safe when home alone
When a dog experiences separation anxiety, being left alone is not simply difficult, it can be genuinely distressing. You may be planning your life around your dog’s absences, feeling trapped at home, or worrying about what happens when you walk out the door.
You are not alone, and your dog is not doing this to be difficult.
The Yin Yang Dog provides specialized remote support for dogs experiencing separation anxiety and isolation distress. Through a gentle, evidence-informed process, we help your dog build comfort with being alone while giving you a clear, realistic path forward.
Does this sound like your dog?
Your dog may be struggling with separation-related distress if they:
- Bark, howl, whine, pace, or panic soon after you leave
- Scratch doors or windows, attempt to escape, or destroy items near exits
- Drool, tremble, eliminate indoors, or appear unable to settle while alone
- Follow you closely or become distressed as you prepare to leave
- Cannot tolerate even brief absences without escalating
Separation anxiety is not resolved by simply “letting a dog get used to it.” Progress comes from carefully planned practice that helps your dog remain under their threshold and feel safe as time alone gradually increases.
Specialized separation anxiety support
As a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT™) and SA Pro™ Trainer, I work specifically with dogs who struggle when left alone. This is not a standard obedience issue or a matter of teaching your dog to “be independent.”
Each plan is tailored to your dog’s current ability, behavior during absences, daily routine, and emotional well-being. We move at a pace your dog can handle, adjust based on observed progress, and give you the support to understand what each step means.
How the process works
Begin with an initial assessment
90-minute remote assessment – $300
We begin by getting a clear picture of your dog’s history, current behavior, daily routine, and challenges around departures and absences.
Your assessment includes:
- A detailed review of your dog’s history and your training goals
- An absence assessment to observe how your dog responds when alone
- An overview of the behavior-change process and realistic expectations
- A recording of our session
- Resources and handouts to help you get started
The initial assessment is the first step in determining the right support for your dog. If you choose the intensive program, your assessment fee is credited toward that package.
Continue with the 4-week intensive program
4-week remote program – $800
Separation anxiety work requires consistency, careful observation, and a plan that changes as your dog’s confidence changes. The intensive program gives you structured guidance while we build progress one manageable step at a time.
The program includes:
- Four personalized desensitization plans each week, for a total of 16 plans
- Four weekly 60-minute remote reassessment sessions
- Live review of your dog’s behavior during practice absences
- Data-tracking resources to help you see progress clearly
- WhatsApp support throughout the process
Ongoing monthly support is available when needed. Subsequent four-week packages are $700 per month.
Remote support, wherever you are
Separation anxiety support is provided remotely, allowing us to observe and work with your dog in the environment where the problem actually occurs: at home.
You do not need to navigate this alone. Together, we will create a careful, compassionate plan that supports your dog’s emotional well-being and helps you regain flexibility in your life.
Start with an initial assessment
We were so frustrated with our dog’s separation anxiety. We were at wit’s end, but then we found Alexandra. Working with Alexandra has been a game-changer. The online format was perfect for us. We could work at our own pace and schedule sessions that fit our busy lives. Alexandra was always available to answer our questions and concerns.
We saw improvements in Yuri’s behavior every step of the way. He went from being destructive to being calm when we left the house. It’s been a remarkable transformation! The online training program is a beacon of hope. It provides practical solutions and the emotional support needed to navigate through a challenging time.
