Muttineer offers force-free solutions for your dog's Separation Anxiety. Not just management or distraction but REAL long lasting resolution.
Neighbors complaining about barking? Coming home to destruction or potty accidents? Are you nervous and worried about leaving your dog home alone? Rest assured, we have a solution!
Separation Anxiety is a true panic disorder in dogs and is more common than you might think with roughly 17% of all pet dogs presenting with this issue. Dogs with SA suffer greatly when left alone and unfortunately, don’t just “get over it” in time. The good news is, SA is highly treatable! The road to resolution is slow and steady but we can guide you every step of the way. And best of all, the maintenance phase for this training plan is simply living your life and leaving your dog home guilt and stress free!
Learn the best, most effective techniques to teach your dog coping skills. Your trainer is a CSAT (Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer) which means they have a broad knowledge of dog behavior as well as a deep understanding of treating separation anxiety. We use desensitization methods which is a tried and true, scientific approach to treating anxiety issues. Best of all, it’s totally force and stress free!
Our Separation Anxiety program is 100% virtual. This is not only convenient but is also the most effective way for treatment. Through remote tools like Zoom and webcams your trainer can view your dog during a live absence with no unusual tip-offs or environmental changes (like the trainer being present in-person).
What’s included and what to expect:
1:1 work with a CSAT trainer and a totally customized training plan to suit your dog’s individual needs
Initial assessment to determine your dog’s unique threshold and tolerance for alone time. This is our baseline and where we begin training (it’s also OK if this is zero)
Detailed daily training missions 4x/week (16 per package). This takes the guesswork out of training and guides you and your dog towards success.
Weekly reassessments to measure progress (4 per package)
Data tracking to measure your dog’s progress and ensure they stay on track
Coaching, support and cheerleading from your trainer. We are here with you through the challenges and milestones along the way!
