Feeling Trapped By Your Dog’s Separation Anxiety?
Separation anxiety is one of the most difficult behavioural issues to live with. So I completely understand if you feel:
The good news is that you can teach your dog to feel happy alone – but only if you have a structured, proven plan.
My 4-week program is designed to provide exactly that!
I start by assessing your dog’s current level of anxiety – however bad that is – before creating a bespoke training plan for them. I’ll then coach you throughout the program so you always know exactly what to do next.
This is all achieved with positive, force-free methods that go at your dog’s pace. No punishments, scolding, or letting them “cry it out”. Just a proven system that takes all of the guesswork out of separation anxiety training.

WHAT YOU GET…
Personalised Separation Anxiety Training for You And Your Dog
4-Week Online Program
Separation Anxiety Program
The Mindful Paws Separation Anxiety Program is a bespoke four-week program. You’ll receive a 90-minute initial consultation and baseline assessment, followed by daily training plans, one-to-one support and two coaching calls.
Price: £499
What’s Included:
90-minute Initial Consultation
The package begins with a detailed analysis of your dog’s behaviour, including a baseline assessment that I use to create your dog’s custom training program.
4-Week Custom Training Program With Daily Plans
Monday-Friday each week, I’ll send you the exact steps to perform with your dog, so you’ll never be left guessing what to do in a training session (Saturday and Sunday are recovery days for your dog).
Two Online Coaching Calls
Every other week, we’ll meet online to discuss your dog’s progress, troubleshoot any challenges, and maintain your momentum.
Daily Support
During your dog’s program you can ask me as many questions as you like. I aim to respond as quickly as possible during working hours (Monday-Friday).
A Clear Path Forward
Every dog takes a different amount of time to feel happy alone, but the process almost always takes longer than four weeks. That’s why by the end of the program, I’ll make sure you have the tools, techniques, and understanding to reach your training goals.
All sessions take place online, as my physical presence could affect your dog’s behaviour and make training more difficult. This also means I can offer the service wherever you are in the UK.
What Results Can You Expect?
Reduced Anxiety And A Happier Dog
Build towards comfortable absences at your dog’s pace. Your dog will be happier alone, and you’ll feel less guilty about leaving them.
A Clear Plan For Making Continued Progress
Know exactly what to do after the program ends, so you can keep progressing towards an “alone time” duration that fits your lifestyle.
Regain The Freedom To Live Your Life!
Feel confident leaving home – whether that’s for social events, work, or a trip to the shops – without worrying about your dog’s anxiety.
“I cannot recommend Rebecca enough. Our lovely 3 year old boy Wilfred has always struggled with separation anxiety and we’ve engaged a couple dog trainers in the past but it hasn’t worked out. That was until Mindful Paws!“

Frequently Asked Questions
During the 15-minute discovery call, we’ll discuss your dog’s separation anxiety and how the Mindful Paws SA program works. You can also ask any questions you like about my training process.
Note: I can also send you a questionnaire if you’d like to get started with the Separation Anxiety Program without a discovery call.
Every dog takes a different amount of time to overcome separation anxiety. Many dogs will need months of practice and desensitisation to be left for long periods, which is why it’s best to start now!
With that said, you will start seeing progress within the first week of working together. I also ensure you have the tools, techniques and understanding to continue working towards your training goals after the 4-week program finishes.
Definitely! Sometimes this can actually help, because the dog hasn’t developed negative associations or trauma with their guardian leaving through the front door. Regardless, I always begin with a baseline assessment to ensure we’re starting at the right level of difficulty for your dog.
There are no guarantees when it comes to separation anxiety recovery, so you should be sceptical if anyone tells you they can cure it quickly or with 100% certainty.
However, I can guarantee that I teach the most effective form of science-based training for separation anxiety. It yields excellent results for the majority of dogs and is the best chance of your dog overcoming their fear of being alone.
I recommend only training your dog five days each week, as this avoids pushing them too much (and also gives you a break!) As my working days are Monday-Friday, I ask you to train on these days so I can give you full support and set your daily exercises.
Once you have completed the 4-week programme and are doing the training independently, you can switch to any 5 days of the week you choose.
The Separation Anxiety Program is entirely online (via a combination of Zoom/Google Meet for calls, WhatsApp/Email for questions, and the SA Pro app for data recording), so I can help wherever you are in the UK.
I’m a Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Behaviour Consultant who specialises in separation anxiety cases.
I’m also an accredited IMDT trainer, qualified trainer with Assistance Dogs UK, and a specialist in rescue dogs, having helped train and rehome hundreds of dogs in a major UK rescue centre. Before starting Mindful Paws, I also worked as a trainer for Guide Dogs.
My working training hours are Monday-Friday 9am – 6:00pm, so your initial consultation can take place any time within these hours. You’ll also receive a daily training plan on these days, which you can implement and record at a time that’s suitable for you and your dog.
Mindful Paws only uses positive and force-free techniques. These ethical methods ensure you maintain a wonderful bond with your dog, while overcoming their behavioural issues. I never use or recommend training methods that rely on fear or pain.
For separation anxiety, training focuses on gradually teaching your dog that being alone isn’t scary. You’ll never be asked to let your dog “cry it out” – the goal is always to work under their maximum threshold to build confidence.
This can take time and patience, but it is the only way to truly train a dog with separation anxiety to be happy when alone.
All separation anxiety sessions take place online, as my physical presence could affect your dog’s behaviour and make training more difficult. This also means I can offer the service wherever you are in the UK.
You’ll need to be able to access video calls – this can be via a smartphone, laptop, tablet or computer. Ideally you would also have an indoor camera for training, but if you don’t have one, I can advise the best purchase during our 90 minute consultation.
