Training Options Available
Most separation anxiety cases respond well to structured one-to-one behaviour training delivered with clear guidance and consistent follow-through.
For more entrenched cases — particularly where distress behaviours are severe or long-standing — a more immersive approach may be recommended through our 30-Day Residential Training Programme.
Every dog is assessed individually to determine the most appropriate level of support.

Training Works Best When You Continue It At Home
Training classes are not just about what happens during the session.
They are designed to teach you how to better understand, guide and support your dog in everyday life.
Ronnie will coach you during the class, demonstrate what needs to happen and give you practical exercises to continue at home. However, lasting progress depends on owner consistency after the class has finished.
Dogs learn through repetition. If the guidance is only followed during the class and not continued at home, progress may be limited and old behaviour patterns may return.
Training is a partnership between the trainer, the owner and the dog. Ronnie will guide the process, but your dog needs you to continue the work between sessions.

Ronnie will guide, coach and support you during the class, but lasting progress depends on the owner continuing the recommended exercises, routines, boundaries and handling advice at home and between sessions.
Dogs learn through consistency and repetition. If the work is not continued outside the class environment, progress may be limited and old behaviour patterns may return.
Your role is to listen, practise, ask questions and continue the work at home.
Training is not just about your dog learning. It is also about you learning how to communicate more clearly, handle situations differently and build better habits with your dog.
Why Separation Anxiety Develops
Separation anxiety can develop due to:
• Sudden changes in routine
• Working from home transitions
• Rescue or rehoming history
• Inconsistent boundaries
• Over-reliance on owner reassurance
Many distraction-based methods provide only temporary relief.
Long-term improvement requires structured behavioural modification.
