Separation Anxiety Starter Pack
Finally, Separation Anxiety Training that is Effective & Affordable

My dog had severe isolation anxiety. I had tried EVERYTHING before I contacted Bo. I came to him pretty desperate. My building and neighbors threaten me with getting me evicted if I didn’t fix the problem and/or return the dog to the shelter. Bo was amazing in every aspect. He was very very patient, he went at my dog’s speed and I never felt rushed by him. He really takes his time and always wanted to make sure that my dog was 100% comfortable with being crated while being alone. I honestly could give him 1000 stars if I could. He helped me keep my furr baby and I will be forever thankful for that.
Separation Anxiety and Its Effects
Ever Had a Panic Attack?
Then you know the emotional pain separation anxiety gives dogs.
It’s no wonder your dog freaks out when you leave.
Untreated separation anxiety can lead to any or all of the following issues:
- Constant barking
- Uncontrollable house soiling
- Panic-induced destruction of property (rugs, carpet, doors, walls, furniture, tables, you name it)
- Accidental self-injury during the panic attacks
- Long-term stress that can lead to significant health effects for your dog, including increased susceptibility to disease, arterial damage, and digestion issues.

As you worry about your dog’s wellbeing as well as the security of your belongings, you feel the pain, too.
Many people are quick to pick up the basic products out there that can help you calm an anxious dog. The hope is that they will work like a magic wand that makes the anxiety go away.
But they generally don’t.
It’s not that they’re bad products. It’s that they are meant to supplement training, not replace it.
If you want to help your dog or puppy through the necessary process of healing separation anxiety, I have created the Separation Anxiety Starter Pack to meet your need.

Why Is This Called a "Starter Pack"
Working through separation anxiety is a process. Separation anxiety training can take several weeks or even months.
This Starter Pack will take you through one information session and 4 weeks of training with me.
Once the Starter Pack is complete, you have the option to continue through individual sessions, if you so choose.
How Will This Work?
The first thing we need to do is to meet for one hour over Google Meet to discuss the issues involved with separation anxiety, establish a plan for managing the situation during the process, and discuss expectations.
We then start weekly training sessions to work through the agenda, methodically helping your dog to heal emotionally.
This healing process entails several parts.
Part 1: Foundational Behaviors
As we prepare to walk your dog through a relaxation protocol, we need to make sure that we have strong building blocks in place.
Part 2: Departure Cues and Return
You might be surprised at all the ways that you make the anxiety worse by the way that you leave and return to your home. We will work with altering how you unwittingly, yet actively trigger, your companion’s anxiety.


Part 3: Basic Kennel (Re)Conditioning
We will need to have some sort of confinement area. More than likely, that will be a kennel. Unfortunately, dogs with separation anxiety often perceive their kennel as a “scary space”. We want to change that perception into one of a “safe space”.
Part 4: Relaxation Protocol
With all the groundwork in place, we can now begin work on helping your dog remain calm while separated from you.
Part 5: Transitions
Now, it’s time to move from separation to absence. You will be working with your dog in a way that allows you to leave and be gone for short periods of time.
Part 6: Increasing Absence
I will help you use what you have learned to slowly increase the amount of time you are away. It’s at this point during separation anxiety training that you really start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.


Will I Need to Buy Anything More for This Process?
Perhaps. It will depend on what you already have. Certain things are a must. These include materials for a confinement area (such as a kennel or gates), Kongs, and treats, among others. You may need to buy products that help with easing your dog’s emotional state. The needed purchases can vary depending on the situation.

How Long Does Separation Anxiety Training Take?
It’s impossible to say up front since there are a variety of factors that will come into to play. Healing separation anxiety doesn’t happen quickly.
If you are lucky, it will only take a month. I recommend expecting at least 2 months. It is not uncommon for the process to last several months, maybe even over a year.
Once you complete the Separation Anxiety Starter Pack agenda, you will have all the tools you need during that first month to continue on your own. But, if you need me to continue with you, I would be glad to continue helping.

We have worked with Bo over the past few months for treating severe separation anxiety in our 7-year old Siberian Husky. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Bo and his methods. My dog had been through hell over the prior 18 months with one health issue after another. It got to the point where it almost impossible to leave him alone for 15 seconds before he was terrorizing our belongings and he had even become aggressive when he used to be the most gentle soul I knew. Within 4 sessions of working with Bo over Skype our dog had done a complete 180 and returned to the dog I knew. I was extremely hesitant of how successful dog training could be over Skype, but Bo sure changed my opinion on that. I now recommend Bo to all my friends with dogs. Give him a shot and I promise he won’t let you down. Thanks for everything, Bo!
Investing in Quality of Life
If your dog is suffering from separation anxiety, I recommend getting help right away. Some of you may want to avoid the bill. I can understand that.
However, consider that this is your canine companion you are helping. By getting early treatment, you are heading off potential health issues that could lead to high medical bills. You are working toward preventing the destruction of property that could also become quite costly. I realize that financial concerns are real for clients, so I try to keep my rates low to offset some of that pressure.

For Those on a Tighter Budget
Even at my incredibly low prices for separation anxiety training, many people will still struggle to afford getting help.
That’s why I created my Separation Anxiety D.I.Y. Program. It enables me to get an entire separation anxiety training process to you at a ridiculously affordable price.
