If your dog exhibits excessive barking, howling, or whining when you leave the house or are out of sight, it's a sign of separation anxiety. If your dog engages in destructive behavior when you leave the house such as scratching or biting the front door, your dog has separation anxiety. If your dog is barking, chewing and pawing at the crate door while inside the crate and you are away, it's a sign or severe separation anxiety. If your dog becomes anxious and panics when you walk away from it outside or in the car, it's suffering from separation anxiety.
Dog owners always feel anxious about leaving their homes because they worry about their dogs' well-being. Some owners resort to leaving video cameras to monitor their dogs' behavior, only to feel saddened by what they observe.
Regrettably, the general consensus and advice out there does not yield tangible transformations for these dogs. I would never suggest merely diverting your dog's attention with a food-filled toy before leaving the house. Nor would I propose incorporating "brain games" for your dog as a solution when you leave your home because these are temporary distractions and not appropriate long-term solutions. Furthermore, I would not recommend consulting a veterinarian, as they will only prescribe medication that is ineffective for your dog and non-beneficial.
I understand that separation anxiety can be worrisome, but with the proper approach, proper training and guidance on my behalf, handling it can be resolved quickly, with my years of experience helping these dogs it's one of the easiest issues to address, help and fix.
Unfortunately way too many dogs live with this experience of life, when a dog has separation anxiety, they're panicking, anxious, nervous, stressed, barking and scared all at once. But don't worry, there are ways to help your pup feel more confident and calmer when you leave your home or are out of sight.

"Michael was amazing to work with and helped us with our fear based reactive German shepherd with 2 sessions! He helped us find the confidence and discipline we needed to have a healthier relationship with our dog! Great trainer with great results! đź‘Ť"
"After having 2 previous trainers, my dog Daisy still barked at everyone and everything. It was embarrassing and difficult to take her out for walks. Now my dog is relaxed on her walks and stays right by my side. Thank you Michael for not letting me give up on my sweet 5 year old schnauzer. Michael is an amazing trainer who is very professional, kind and dedicated. I give him 6/5 stars !"
"Wow! Wow! Wow! Best dog training I have ever experienced! Michael is the real deal! I have been to other dog trainers in the past, they were ok, but what I found was that you become a hostage to what they call “positive reinforcement”, in other words, “Treats” – this method is only an interim solution and you and your dog end up being dependent on the treats. With Michael, we have been taught how to effectively communicate with our dog. With Michael's help, we have finally established ourselves as someone our dog defers to, looks for guidance, trusts and follows. Now my dog is one of the best behaved I've ever seen, and I fully endorse Michael's method of Training – He is the best – Thanks Michael"
"Dear Michael, I just wanted to express as a family our deep gratitude for your dedicated work. Thank you so very much for your kindness, wonderful instruction, and professionalism. You were able to correct Zorro's aggressive behavior after only two visits. Despite his small size, Zorro was very aggressive towards strangers. Now he is well educated and follows our instructions much better :) Thank you once again for your help"
"We previously tried a well-known dog training school for our super reactive dog. We, we did 3 classes of 6 sessions for a total of 18 training sessions with no positive results. We were about to give up when we found Michael on the web. I contacted him, and we had our first session within a week. After explaining his method, we went outside and the results were immediate. We couldn't believe it. If your dog barks after everything (people, dogs, cars, bikes, etc.), give Michael a call!"
"Working with Michael was like MAGIC! The dog’s behaviors drastically changed after 1-2 sessions. From lunging and barking when seeing another dog to calm and quiet! Amazing! Walking our dog is such a pleasure now without being pulled in every direction!! Michael is very knowledgeable and patient. I recommend him to anyone."
"Michael did an amazing job with our dog. He has such a confidence-inspiring and assertive - yet kind - approach. Michael was super patient with our recently-adopted dog (and us!), who pulled on the leash way too much and was a little too enthusiastic when people came to the door. Walking our dog is such a joy now and our dog is much calmer in the house. Thank you, Michael!"
