Every case is different though you should expect to:

 - Turn a clingy buddy to an independent best-friend. Separation anxiety is solved by building mutual trust. You’ll know your dog’s anxiety limits, and the dog will know that you’ll come back before the anxiety kicks in.

 - Recognize and desensitize triggers of your dog’s separation anxiety. Whether it’s departure routines of you putting on make-up, grabbing the keys, getting in shoes, putting on a coat or any other.

 - Gradually increase the period of time your dog can stay home-alone without getting anxious. We’ve had clients starting from a trust-period of 15 seconds, and improving to 3,5 hours after completing the 3-month self-training program. Though every dog is different, so prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Imagine, what would you do if having a dog-free card for a few hours daily?

 - See how your dog treats a crate to be his/her sanctuary of calm. We recommend using a sanctuary or a gated area for the training during the first months, and introduce the crate in the third month of the program. That's why the crate training guidance is included only in the 3-month program. Just because for most dogs, starting from a sanctuary and moving to a crate gradually is less stressful than using a crate right away. 

Contact us, and our pawsitive customer service will help you out in 24 hours, usually in less than 15 minutes. We’ve helped thousands of dog owners already. Even though every case is different, the problems are mostly the same. Don’t be shy and reach out for professional help. We really care and want you to succeed in training your clingy buddy to be your independent best-friend.

In general, a 3-month training program naturally shows better results than a 28-day one, as with any habit. 

Also, the 3-month program includes an extension for the transition to crate during the 3rd month of the training. 

In the 28-day program, we recommend using a sanctuary or any gated area instead of a crate because a crate itself may cause extra anxiety for a pup who is already anxious. 

We recommend using a sanctuary or any gated area instead of a crate because a crate itself may cause additional anxiety for some dogs. 

If you’re sure that a crate doesn’t add up to your dog’s anxiety of being alone, you may follow the program by using a crate instead of a sanctuary.


As all examples are with the sanctuary in mind, you may need to adjust the program a bit, but simply follow gradual steps of creating the distance between you and your dog. For example, starting with an open gate, and being nearby then gradually increasing the boundaries, as staying out of dog’s vision, then closing the gate. You will know when to change it up by following the daily steps written out in the program.

We offer a 30-day money back guarantee and occasionally receive refund requests. To save time for both you, and our customer support, we’ve written down who are not recommended to buy this program:

 - Experienced dog owners who have read every book & article on separation anxiety. Most likely, you won’t learn anything new from this program. Unless you still haven’t figured what specific (positive reinforcement) actions to take to solve your dog’s anxiety at-home. 

 - Looking for a secret potion to solve separation anxiety in a day. We’re sorry to inform you, but it’s impossible. The training requires a lot of patience and consistency. Though it’s totally worth it, everyone who succeeded would agree!

 - Living in a very small apartment, and not willing to create a gated area as a sanctuary room for the training. It requires very little space (should fit a dog’s bed, a bowl, a few toys, and enough space for a dog to stretch) though not everyone has the ability.
