4-week

Separation Anxiety Startup Program

$1,000

This 4-week Intensive Startup Program includes 20 total completely customized "Missions" for your daily homework created by your Certified Separation Anxiety trainer, 4 live sessions, email/text support, and tech setup.

Separation anxiety is a serious condition, and it goes beyond the occasional mournful whimper when you leave the house or the shredded sock waiting for you upon your return. It’s also not the same as boredom, and unlike a little mischief when your dog has been left alone, separation anxiety is the result of a panic disorder.

The training process for Separation Anxiety is unlike many other types of dog training because it requires treatment of an emotional response, rather than simply teaching a new behavior. There is no way to predict a timeline for a “cure” as each dog is different, so progress can start to happen within a few weeks or not for months. The good news is, separation anxiety is a highly treatable disorder, the rate of progress is slow, particularly in the early stages. Learning begins to accelerate once we’ve taken careful steps in the beginning. Progress is accomplished through being consistent and committed to the process.

**This program must be used within 60 days of invoice date.

BEHAVIOR Board & Train

$230 per day

Behavior Board & Train at Wild Spirit Canine Training

Compassionate Behavior Modification. Individualized Care. Lasting Change.

Our Behavior Board & Train program is designed specifically for dogs struggling with more complex behavioral challenges. Whether your dog has a history of fear, aggression, resource guarding, reactivity, anxiety, or difficulty coping with everyday life, our goal is to help them feel safer, more confident, and develop healthier coping skills.

Behavior change isn't about "fixing" your dog, it's about understanding why the behavior is happening, addressing the underlying emotions driving it, and teaching both dogs and their humans new ways to navigate the world together.

Unlike traditional boarding facilities, dogs stay in a calm, home-style environment where they receive individualized care, structured routines, and 3–4 personalized behavior modification sessions each day with a certified behavior professional. Every training plan is customized to your dog's history, temperament, learning style, and behavior goals.

🐾 Behavioral Concerns We Commonly Work With

Fear and anxiety
Fear-based aggression
Resource guarding (food, toys, people, spaces)
Dog reactivity and dog aggression
Stranger danger
Leash reactivity
Handling and grooming sensitivity
Barrier frustration
Territorial behaviors
Separation-related distress
Confidence building for fearful or shut-down dogs
Impulse control and emotional regulation
Other behavior concerns evaluated on a case-by-case basis

🐾 What's Included

✔ 3–4 Individual Behavior Modification Sessions Daily
Each session is customized to your dog's specific behavior goals using humane, science-based training methods.

✔ Overnight Boarding in a Low-Stress Home Environment
Dogs stay in a quiet, structured setting designed to promote relaxation and learning.

✔ Comprehensive Behavior Assessment & Personalized Training Plan
Training begins with evaluating your dog's triggers, body language, motivations, and emotional state before creating an individualized behavior modification plan.

✔ Confidence Building & Emotional Wellness
Enrichment, decompression walks, choice-based learning, scent work, confidence exercises, and species-appropriate activities are incorporated throughout each day.

✔ Structured Training Outings (When Appropriate)
For dogs who are ready, carefully planned outings help practice skills in real-world environments while remaining below threshold. Every outing is tailored to the individual dog's progress and comfort level.

✔ Daily Progress Updates
Receive photos, videos, and detailed updates so you can follow your dog's journey throughout their stay.

✔ Go-Home Transfer Lesson
Before your dog returns home, we'll spend time teaching you the handling skills, management strategies, and training techniques necessary for continued success.

✔ Written Behavior Plan
You'll leave with detailed homework, management recommendations, and step-by-step exercises to continue progress at home.

✔ Post-Program Support
Behavior modification doesn't end when your dog goes home. We're here to support you as you continue building on your dog's success.

🐾 Who This Program Is For

Dogs with a history of aggression toward people or other dogs
Fearful or anxious dogs needing confidence-building
Dogs struggling with resource guarding
Dogs displaying reactive behaviors on walks or around visitors
Families needing professional guidance with complex behavior issues
Guardians committed to long-term behavior change and ongoing training

Why Choose Wild Spirit Canine Training?

Certified behavior professional using welfare-driven, science-based methods
We address the underlying emotions, not just the outward behavior
Relationship-based training built on trust, safety, and communication
Small program size to ensure individualized attention and care
Home-style environment that minimizes stress and supports learning
Customized behavior plans.

Important Note

Behavior modification is a process, not a quick fix. While many dogs make tremendous progress during their stay, lasting success depends on consistency, management, and continued practice once they return home. Our goal is to provide your dog with a strong foundation while equipping you with the knowledge and skills to continue their progress for years to come.

Ready to help your dog feel safer, more confident, and successful?
