Separation Skills is an innovative 6 week group class that teaches the skills needed to resolve separation or isolation related anxiety. Lots of us are working from home these days. This constant contact is going to make it tough on our dogs when we resume a normal 9-5. Set your best friend up for success and learn how to ensure your dog maintains confidence, independence and separation skills through social isolation*

     

    *This class is a MUST for new puppies being raised during COVID lock-in, dogs who have previously shown signs of separation related anxiety, and those velcro dogs who can't seem to leave our side
