Puppy Separation Anxiety
Wandsworth, Clapham, Tooting and surrounding areas including London
We need to remember that puppies need to be taught not only “sit”, “down” etc, but also how to stay alone at home with peace in their heart.
At the beginning it’s only natural for us to want to spend every second of our lives together, but at the same time we’re causing the puppy to create an attachment to us (in other words – separation anxiety, as the puppy has no chance to learn what to do when they are alone).
Nowadays everything has changed and we are counting down the days before normal reality is back. However, have you thought about what your puppy sees? They see their owners are at home all day (perhaps working at the table), they’re going for walks regularly or eating together (during lunch breaks).
We are together all the time. THIS IS A PUPPY REALITY which we humans have created due to the current situation.
However our normal lives are now changing and we’re forgetting to prepare our puppy to Our Reality. That we go to work for most of the day, that each owner comes back home at different times, that kids go to after school clubs and that most of time the puppy is alone due to their owner’s lifestyle.
Please, don’t leave your puppy to cry when you leave. This is an old fashioned style of training. Teach your puppy from the beginning that being alone is something positive. Don’t expect that your puppy knows that or force them to learn it with a negative emotional journey (crying or destroying objects).
I use free force separation anxiety training, where the puppy learns with baby steps how to cope with that fear of being alone. At the same time, my puppy training programme will support them in building their confidence and focusing as well as being self-controlling. I really love that combination as you can see how your puppy becomes braver.

We have been working with Agnes to help our 2 year old rescue Maltese Bichon cross who had severe separation anxiety and was very nervous outside the home.
We have completed the Separation Anxiety training and some in person training sessions.
Agnes is amazing and really goes above and beyond when working with you. She is so insightful in relation to dog’s feelings and behaviour and can really understand their body language and what they are trying to tell us.
Agnes is positive, encouraging and extremely supportive and we looked forward to her messages and sessions and loved seeing the progress week on week. Agnes is very patient and provides positive reinforcement training also equipping you with training tools and techniques to really from a bond with your dog and help you both live the best life together.
Alongside the Separation Anxiety training Agnes used her holistic approach of Bach remedies and Emotion code to help with our dog’s anxiety and overall confidence, which at times was very challenging. We have seen a huge change in our dog and her happiness, from not wanting to leave the doorstep to now loving playing in the park with other dogs.
It has really been amazing to see the progress and change within our little dog as a result of Agnes’ approach.
Thank you Agnes for your dedication, guidance and endless positivity & encouragement.
We feel well equipped to continue with our training independently knowing that the support is there should we need it and we would highly recommend Agnes for anyone who needs help with their dog or new puppy.
