Separation Anxiety

Helping guardians teach their dogs to be more comfortable left home alone.

Pawsitive Living Dog Training is here to help!

At Pawsitive Living, we understand that separation distress affects all members of the family. The dog worries about being left alone and can feel a sense of panic waiting for their humans to return. The humans feel guilt about needing to leave and increased stress that their dog might be distressed.

We break the plan down into very manageable steps and progress as the dog shows signs of being more comfortable.

Separation anxiety training is investing in your dog's comfort so that the family can have a sense or normalcy and a plan for unexpected absences. Every dog is unique in its needs and how their anxiety manifests so we are careful to look at each dog individually in order to progress at pace that works for them.

We started working with Kayla when our German Shepherd, Socs, was just 13 weeks old (born October 2024), and the experience has been exceptional from day one. Kayla is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and intentional in her approach. She not only understands dog behavior deeply, but she also knows how to clearly teach us as owners so we can reinforce training confidently at home. What sets Kayla apart is her calm, caring presence, and consistently positive attitude. She builds trust with both dog and family, which has made a huge difference in Socs’ development. Thanks to her guidance, Socs has grown into a well-mannered, confident young dog with a strong foundation. We are truly grateful for Kayla’s expertise and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about long-term success.

Andrea and Socs

Kayla was great to work with! She was easy to coordinate training sessions with and was full of useful tips for how to get our young dog to make the behavior changes we were looking for. She was also great at helping us and our dog prepare for the upcoming change of becoming a big fur brother. We'd highly recommend working with her!
