Hi, I’m Debra, and first things first, I get it! I know exactly what you’re going through because I’ve been there too.
When I brought home my gorgeous new Dobermann puppy Nyla, I was so excited. But it didn’t take long to realise she struggled being left alone. I was told to just let her ‘cry it out’ she’d get used to it, right? But she didn’t. In fact, things only got worse.
My life began to feel like it wasn’t my own. I was cancelling plans, stuck at home, and constantly worried. I felt like a prisoner in my own house. That’s when I started researching and stumbled across a term I’d never heard before, separation anxiety. And that discovery led me to Julie Naismith leading expert in canine separation anxiety.
I wanted to learn everything I could about dog behaviour, so I enrolled in the British College of Canine Studies and went on to earn a Level 4 PETbc Accredited Dog Behaviour Diploma with Merit. Hungry for more knowledge, I trained with the Victoria Stilwell Academy and completed their professional dog training course. But I knew I wanted to specialise in separation anxiety.
I decided to apply to study with Julie Naismith’s Separation Anxiety Pro Graduate Programme and was absolutely delighted to be accepted. I’m now even more thrilled to share that, after passing, I am officially a Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Behaviour Consultant. I now have both the knowledge and real life experience to help you, and your dog get your lives back.
At The Dogz Hub, I’m here to guide you through it. With the right support and training, your dog can learn that being home alone isn’t scary. They’ll be able to relax without panic or distress, and you’ll finally be able to go out, meet up with friends, and enjoy your time away without the constant worry.
If you would like to get your life back, then book a free 15-minute consultation with me and let’s discuss how I can help both you and your dog.
I look forward to hearing from you so we can work together and help you and your dog get your lives back on track.
Best wishes
