Healthy Mind Canine | Separation Anxiety Training - Minneapolis, MN
As a Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Trainer and a proud graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy, I specialize in providing custom, humane, and effective training programs tailored to tackle separation anxiety in pets. With certifications like CPDT-KA and Fear Free, I use the most successful methods, backed by research, to ensure your pet's emotional well-being is prioritized. My approach is entirely virtual, making it convenient for pet parents anywhere. Whether you're dealing with cats, dogs, or even unexpected "cat-astrophes," my skills and dedication offer the support you need.
My intensive training programs are designed with flexibility and personal attention in mind. Over a span of 4 or 8 weeks, I engage with each pet up to 5 days a week, assessing progress and adjusting the training plan daily based on your pet's response. Each week, we connect via Zoom to discuss your pet's progress and address any concerns. I utilize a variety of tools and techniques, from clickers and leashes to positive reinforcement with toys and treats, ensuring a comprehensive behavior modification experience for your pet.
I have been passionately serving pets since January 2023, and my commitment to helping them thrive is unwavering. If you're ready to transform your pet's anxiety into calm confidence, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!
