About this business
Kind and science-based training for dogs experiencing separation anxiety. Collaborate individually with an approved Separation Anxiety Pro Trainer (SAPT) to help your dog adjust to their aloneness by absorbing yourself from absences. If you're scared to go back to work because your dog barks, yaps, roars, races, salivates, gnaws, excavates, harms itself, or has accidents when you go, your dog may have a major separation anxiety concern. By collaborating with me, we can analyse your dog's aloneness limits and slowly increase the amount at a rate that your dog can cope with. No longer does leaving the house have to be overwhelming - for you or your dog. Contact me for more information.
My name is Ken and I’m a dog behaviour geek in Hamilton, Ontario, as well as a dog parent to a separation anxiety dog, Luna. I know how worrying it can be to live with a separation anxiety dog, but I also know that change is achievable, and I’m here to help you make it happen with your dog. My undergraduate course in Psychology is complemented by more than three years of practical work in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) with children with autism. I learned a lot about the beneficial influence of positive reinforcement in fostering long-term behavioural transformation during my studies and clinical work. Many of the ABA concepts I acquired, such as shaping, chaining, desensitization, habituation, reinforcement rates, extinction, and motivation are crucial to how we prepare our dogs for new experiences.
I continue to take part in various educational programmes to develop my abilities, especially concerning separation anxiety and anxious behaviour in dogs.
