Puppies Deserve to feel Safe and Sound, from day one!

Teaching puppies to be comfortable and relaxed when home alone is one of the best gifts we can give our puppies!

“He was ok when he was a puppy, barked a bit when we left , normal stuff, then he just started freaking out when he was home alone”

“She never loved her crate, but she tolerated it”

“My puppy always just slept when I was gone, then one day my neighbor called and said they were crying all day”

These are all stories I’ve heard time and time again. Well meaning puppy parents who thought their puppies felt ok about being home alone or in their crates only to one day discover their adolescent dog panicking when home alone!

If you have a new puppy in the house and your not sure if they are experiencing separation anxiety or normal “puppy stuff”, getting a professional opinion could be the difference between a few weeks of work and years of heartache.

Allow me to help you prepare your puppy for the future and give you peace of mind. All puppies can benefit from learning to feel safe when alone in a slow and controlled manner.
