WE ARE

We’re Jackie & Jess - multi-certified dog trainers and separation anxiety specialists. We guide guardians through the complexities of separation related behaviors, stress, resilience, and meeting needs. We’ve helped dozens of separation anxiety teams sustainably reach their alone time management & training goals.

After helping so many separation anxiety dogs and their people, we decided to team up and make our strategies more accessible for folks struggling with this behavior challenge.

Meet Your Separation Anxiety Specialist

If you are struggling to leave your dog home alone, you have come to the right place. I work solely with canine separation anxiety and other alone-time behaviors. Having focused my knowledge and experience in this challenging area, I have a deep understanding and empathy for the havoc that separation anxiety can wreak on you and your dog’s life and relationship.

I am certified and mentored by Malena DeMartini - the world’s leading expert on separation anxiety - and I continue to pursue the most up-to-date research and continuing education.

Resolution of separation-related challenges requires patience, empathy, compassion, and exceptional attention to the intricacies of your individual dog and environment. As a coach and behavior consultant, I bring these qualities to all interactions with my clients as we embark on the journey of comfortable alone-time together.
