When our dog, Willow, chewed on her crate bars in an attempt to escape about a month after adopting her, my partner and I immediately reached out to Maddi for help. We did a virtual baseline separation anxiety assessment and learned that Willow became distressed after only 3 seconds of alone time. With Maddi's help and guidance, we were able to resolve our dog's separation anxiety in about 4.5 months. I loved the app that Maddi uses. It kept us accountable for the training and it was great to get in-app feedback from Maddi after every training exercise. We could also send Maddi videos if we weren't entirely sure if our dog was comfortable with the absence duration. Going through separation anxiety training is not easy. We had to hire dog sitters and rearrange our work schedules to minimize the amount of time we'd need the sitters. We also had to say no to invitations to hang out with friends a lot because we couldn't find someone to watch Willow. In the end, it was definitely worth it and now Willow can be home alone for up to 7 hours without any issues! Maddi is a very compassionate trainer and it was so great to have her expertise and celebration of our wins throughout the process.
