This course is a perfect way to begin to effectively manage and treat your dog's home alone problem. Many of you can invest less time, money and labor in this group class than in a 1on1 package- and still benefit from the education, resources and support. Some dogs will need 1on1 training, after two weeks you can switch to a private package with Susan, if we decide that your dog needs 1on1 support.
This course meets for an hour once a week on Zoom for 4 weeks. Susan will send you a Home Alone Solutions guide before the course and set up your account in the BeRightBack App. So you will be ready for class!
We will review videos of the dogs doing departure plans, share feedback, and Susan will answer questions in our class' Private Facebook Group. Class is limited to 4 dogs. The fee is $250. Please look at our Sliding Scale Page.
Course details
Living with a dog who panics when you leave is extremely stressful for everyone in the home. Susan Ward, a Certified Separation Anxiety Behavior Consultant, designed this course to help you help your dog begin to make positive changes to home alone time. This course meets for 1 hour, once a week, for four weeks. 4 dogs and their people will collarborate with you and Susan. At the end of the four weeks, you'll understand the most effective, humane methods for managing and treating separation anxiety, and you'll take ongoing action with a custom plan from Susan. Your dog will feel more at ease when home alone, and your errands will feel less painful!
We troubleshoot departure plans, and individually check on the progress of every dog and handler in the group. Between sessions, you'll have a custom plan and you and Susan can track progress in the BeRightBack App. And you can share video of your dog doing your departure plans, questions and insights in our Private Facebook Group.
Once a week, you'll send Susan, a video of your dog doing a departure plan. Susan will support you with tailored feedback in the BeRightBack App and Via email, and in the Facebook Private Group.
You'll be in a group of other dog guardians who are dealing with your same struggle. Together, guided by Susan's expertise and 29 years of education & experience, your class will sharpen your observational skills, and help your dogs learn to relax when home alone.
