Training Best Practices
Based on proven desensitization methods used by certified trainers worldwide
✅Do This
- •Practice departure cues without leaving (keys, shoes, door)
- •Start with just 5 minutes daily — consistency beats duration
- •Log every response honestly (calm, noticed, anxious)
- •Build up gradually as your dog shows improvement
- •Celebrate small wins — every calm reaction counts
❌Avoid This
- •Don't rush — this takes weeks, not days
- •Don't practice when you're stressed or in a hurry
- •Don't punish or scold anxious reactions
- •Don't skip days — consistency is everything
- •Don't progress too fast before cues are mastered
🧠Why This Works
Desensitization & Counter-Conditioning — the gold standard approach developed by veterinary behaviorists. By practicing departure cues without actually leaving, your dog learns these actions don't always mean goodbye.
Over time, the anxiety response weakens and your dog stays calm when you grab your keys, put on shoes, or touch the door handle. It's proven science, made simple and trackable.
