Virtual Consulting for Separation Anxiety
While separation anxiety is sometimes seen as a frustrating problem to solve, there is absolutely hope! Joan Hunter Mayer is a certified separation anxiety trainer (CSAT), which means she has the knowledge, skills, patience, and empathy to help separation-phobic dogs and their guardians work through the challenges they face.
And, Separation Anxiety training is perfectly suited to a virtual/remote coaching model, where your sessions with Joan occur over a video chat service like Skype or Zoom. Virtual coaching helps pet parents work with their dogs in a setting that feels natural to the dog, closely resembling everyday life.
