Separation Anxiety coaching

London dog separation anxiety solutions by Sky and Chispa Dogs

"Separation anxiety training that actually works (and doesn’t leave you drowning alone)"

You and the dog are not drama queens. They are scared and you are emotionally exhausted.

Sounds familiar?

Your dog starts panting or pacing the second you grab your keys.
The neighbours are this close to putting a note through your door.
You’ve tried puzzle toys, extra walks, calming sprays, crate training, even the “leave your worn T-shirt on the sofa” trick. Nothing helped.
You’re stuck at home, resentful, worried, Googling “help fix my dog's separation anxiety” at 2am.

Let me guess: you’d do anything for your dog, but right now you’re running on empty, too.

How do I know if my dog has Separation Anxiety?

Why separation anxiety needs a different approach

Separation anxiety doesn’t fix itself. Your dog doesn't need more walks, more puzzle toys or “just cry it out”.

What they need is gradual exposure, so they can see that you leaving through the door is not a scary thing. They need small steps and build trust that you will come back.

You need a clear plan, without guessing and someone to guide you through that process. You don't need another one off trainer visit, some notes and try to figure it out yourself because separation anxiety leaves very little space for guesswork if you want to actually see results.

How we work together

The Deep Dive

(90-min consultation)

We unpack everything: your dog’s history, your home setup, your lifestyle and the next steps forward. We also complete an initial assessment to know what's your dog's starting point.

You get a full report and can decide whether you'd like to join the programme.

Personalised training plan

Five structured training sessions per week that are designed to gradually build your dog’s confidence in being home alone.

The results are reviewed daily and plan is tweaked accordingly if needed.

Daily WhatsApp support

You’re never left wondering, “Am I doing this right?”. You share updates, questions, mini freak-outs and I am there to address any doubts, analyse training videos, push you where needed or slow you done when I see that's necessary.

Weekly online sessions

We meet online every week to perform one of your sessions together, so you have a full support and someone to guide you. We also discuss any additional questions and continue with your plan.

Why we work remotely

I get asked a lot if it wouldn't be better for me to come to your house. Truth be told, separation anxiety training has to be performed remotely.

Let me explain why remote is actually better. We are teaching your dog to stay alone!

I don't want your dog to know that training is happening because the trainer showed up and is lurking in the corner.
This way I am able to review, slow down the video and really pin point the little "tells of stress" in your dog's body language - a key to successful behaviour modification.
I can work with you wherever you are: London, Barcelona, Glasgow... you can be a part of Chispa Dogs regardless of your location.

Is this for you?

This program is perfect if:

Your dog panics when left alone (barking, whining, destruction, accidents).
You’ve already tried the common advice and realised nothing worked.
You want expert guidance and emotional support along the way.
You’re ready to commit to steady, consistent progress (no miracle gadgets).

It’s probably not what you're looking for if:

You just want obedience training.
You’re looking for a one-off session with some exercises without looking at other areas of your dog's life like nutrition and health.
You’re not ready to commit to up to five sessions per week following the plan.

Some of Chispa dogs & their results

Igneta & Oto

Separation anxiety training session: calm dog alone at home in Europe

I started working with Sky at the end of November, when Oto was 9 months old. From breaking down doors to insane barking, neighbors’ complaints...I had tried everything before that: leaving food toys, all kinds of physical exercise, even electric collars, calming remedies, you name it. Nothing helped. Sky was my last “attempt.”

I remember our very first conversation gave me so much hope and belief that I actually cried because I genuinely believed her.

Sky and I worked together for 20 weeks, about 5 good months. And now, as I’m writing this story, my Oto is sleeping at home, completely knocked out.

It’s unbelievable, but first, I believed in Sky and then she proved to me that I could believe in myself and in Oto. This is proof to anyone who has lost hope and doesn’t know what to do. I couldn’t even go to the store or take out the trash, let alone have any free time for myself. And now? I’m lying by the lake, ALONE, while my Oto is at home, ALONE.

Thank you, Sky, for your support, patience, and lessons. I truly learned so much and when you learn to understand your dog, to recognize their stress signals and so on, everything becomes easier. We love you and are grateful to the Universe for you. ❤️

Austeja, Tomas & Deira

Online dog training for separation anxiety with daily coaching

As soon as we would close the front door the real panic would begin – our Deira had severe separation anxiety.

We tried half the trainers in Vilnius, but nothing helped. Half of the apartment was chewed up (walls, sofa, doors, chairs, table 😭). All - Deira and us - were under stress.

But everything changed when we found our trainer Sky! 🙌
After the very first consultation, we realized that even our little troublemaker could learn to stay calm. All it needed was patience.

Sky made weekly plans for us, constantly monitored the process, and analyzed Deira’s every move. We always had million questions to which answers always came quickly.

It took us 16 weeks to overcome the separation anxiety.
We started with 5 seconds 🫣 and reached 6+ hours. 💪 And when Sky said: “That’s it, now you can handle it on your own” , we didn’t even know what we're going to do without the daily homework 😅

Today, we can leave Deira alone for the entire workday and return to a calm, undamaged apartment, where a hilariously sleeping Deira is waiting for us. 🐾💤

Sky is our greatest discovery! 🫶🏼 Because we had truly lost hope. ❤

Agne, Simas & Duzge

Dog practicing separation anxiety training at home with online support

A massive heartfelt thank you to Sky! Before working with her, we honestly thought things would never improve with our dog’s separation anxiety.

From the very first session, Sky has been very knowledgeable, methodical, and compassionate. She gave us a clear, weekly training plan that’s easy to follow and never overwhelming. Her kind ongoing support along with her gentle encouragement to keep us on track, has been invaluable.

Most importantly, Sky prioritises dogs’ wellbeing. All of her methods are dog-led, which made a huge difference.

We can’t recommend Sky enough!
