Online separation anxiety training will help your dog:
Meet your Separation Anxiety Trainer: Katie Brill
Katie with one of her dogs, Nala.
I am very proud to be one of only a handful of Certified Separation Anxiety Trainers (CSATs) in the UK. I've been trained and mentored by Malena DeMartini, a bestselling author and international speaker on Separation Anxiety.
​
It gives me great joy to watch your progression week on week as we work together in helping your dog feel more calm and overcome their separation anxiety. I have 21 years experience working with dogs and would love to hear from you if you would like to book a free chat to discuss your dog's separation anxiety issues.
Your Dog has a Phobia
Does this sound familiar? Your dog’s separation anxiety is having a huge impact on your life. Your dog is stressed whenever you leave the home which leads it to bark, toilet or chew. You're feeling guilty whenever you go out, and rushing home so that your dog is not alone too long. It's just so frustrating to feel like you have lost your freedom and may have even had thoughts of regret in getting a dog.
Your dog is not doing this on purpose! Separation anxiety is in a fact a form of phobia that presents itself in some dogs, and is not due to anything they you have done as an owner. This phobia results in your dogs experiencing a panic attack when left on its own. This is why through every step of our training together, I am there to make sure your dog can cope and feels safe and secure.

Anxiety Training for Dogs
I understand that you care very much about how your dog feels when you leave the house. It's often just as upsetting for you as it is for your dog. That's why I work so closely with you to customise a plan that eases your dog's anxiety to help it feel calm & relaxed throughout our entire training together.

Separation Anxiety Progress: Cookie
From under 30 seconds to over 1 Hour!
I have been working with Cookie for 3 months now. In her initial assessment, Cookie started barking and howling around 20 seconds after her owners left the house. Her progress over the weeks has been incredible, she is now happy and settled to be left on her own for over 60 minutes - meaning that as a first milestone, her owners are able to pop to the local shops and do the school run without worrying about Cookie.
Client Testimonial:
Cookie has shown amazing progress since starting Separation anxiety training with Katie. She used to howl as soon as we left the house, but now she is calm and we can leave her on her own a little more with each passing week!
Katie is both knowledgeable and passionate about her work with dogs. She tailors the training specifically for my dog and gets to know her mannerisms and how to push her limits without ever making her feel anxious or stressed. I definitely recommend Katie Brill PDT!

Separation Anxiety Progress: Duke
From under 5 seconds to over 18 minutes
When Duke had his initial assessment, he was barking within a matter of seconds of his owner leaving the house. It's been a pleasure to watch him transition from a very anxious dog into a much calmer, confident dog who is now able to stay on his own for over 18 minutes! Together with the owners, I continue to work with Duke and build on his progress with tasks that will move him closer to being free of separation anxiety.
Client Testimonial:
We have a 3 year old dachshund who does not like to be left at home alone. He barks and whines constantly. I was given Katie's details and we've been training with her for a couple of months now. Katie's method is exactly what I had been looking for. A fully structured program that is very clear and easy to stick to with results which are progressing week on week. So happy we found Katie.

Separation Anxiety Progress: Nala
From under 30 seconds to over 50 minutes
When Nala had her initial assessment, she barked, paced and scratched at the kitchen door within 30 seconds of her owner leaving. It's been fantastic to see the change in Nala where she now rests quietly on the stairs for up to 80 minutes!
Separation Anxiety Progress: Dillon
From minutes to over 1 hour!
When Dillon had his initial assessment he would begin to vocalise within 2 minutes of his owners leaving the house. He would pace around the house his owners , he was barking within a matter of seconds of his owner leaving the house. It's been a pleasure to watch him transition from a very anxious dog into a much calmer, confident dog who is now able to stay on his own for over 18 minutes! Together with the owners, I continue to work with Duke and build on his progress with tasks that will move him closer to being free of separation anxiety.
Client Testimonial:
We are 1.5 months in to Dillon’s separation anxiety training with Katie and have seen huge differences already. He has gone from incessant barking (reported by neighbours) when left alone to being able to do 30-50 minutes settled and content by himself. It is really encouraging to see that the hard work pays off with the training. We were curious about how well he’d do with it given he is 4 years old and no longer such a trainable puppy. Similarly, given he is a cockapoo we also wondered how much you could train the ‘human neediness’ out of him. Whilst he definitely still prefers to be with his pack, we are noticing him spending more time alone in the house when we are at home too, rather than following us from room to room so much. He genuinely seems to be a more relaxed, less anxious dog.

Tailored for you & your dog
No two dogs are the same, and dogs with Separation Anxiety will demonstrate distress in different ways whether this be through vocalisation, destruction or toileting.
My separation anxiety training is tailored to your individual dog, and It's for this reason that I invite you to book a free call with me. Discussing your dogs habits, behaviours and triggers is the first step towards living a life without worrying about your dog when you go out. This enables me to create a specifically tailored training plan for you and your dog, and as we work together over the weeks, the plan will adjust accordingly depending on how well your dog progresses.

Its time to get your life back
As an owner of two dogs myself, I know you want your dog to be happy, calm and not feel anxious every time you leave it alone. After all, it doesn’t just affect your dog, it affects your entire family, and limits you from doing the things you want or need to do.
It’s important to be able to feel relaxed when leaving your dog alone, whether that be to do the school run or your weekly shop.
​
Secondly, it’s important for your dog to feel safe and secure when left alone, and not feel anxious and worried every time you put your shoes and coat on.
​
I tailor my online dog separation anxiety training specifically to your individual dog. My daily guidance will help you and your dog move forward with their separation anxiety journey.
It really is time to get your life back! Book a free call today and let’s make that happen
