Help your dog feel safe when they're home alone

Bespoke, evidence-based training plans that give your dog genuine independence — and give you your life back.

You're in the right place if…

If you're here, you already know the drill: the frantic goodbye, the guilt every time you shut the door, the neighbour's message about the barking, wondering what state you'll find the house in when you get back. Separation anxiety doesn't just affect your dog, it shrinks your whole life around it.

I'm Kim, a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT) and Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist based in Harrogate. I work with dog owners across Yorkshire and online across the UK, and separation anxiety is one of the things I see, and resolve, most often.


How I help

Separation anxiety training works best with a structured, gradual plan built specifically around your dog — not a generic template. Every plan I write is based on your dog's own history, triggers, and pace, and I stay with you at every step:

Plan with Purpose

Daily training plans, built around how your dog is actually progressing (with rest days built in)

Wrap around support

Unlimited WhatsApp support between sessions

Video review

Video review of your training, so nothing is guesswork

Organisation

A personalised folder with everything you need in one place

  • "I was instantly reassured and felt so relieved to have a plan in place. We now have a 5 month old pup that sleeps through the night and we can leave the house for 25 minutes. We have a super strong bond with Lexi now."

  • "At risk of sounding dramatic, Kim has quite literally changed our lives. We now have a dog who happily snoozes in my home office — something we'd almost begun to believe would never be possible."
