Minerva dog training

Alone at home

Your dog cannot stay home alone or hasn’t yet learned how to be by themselves in the house. You want help so your dog can learn to feel comfortable being alone at home, and you are eager to get started. We offer various options to help you with this.

Whether you have a puppy or an adult dog, a gradual approach is the key to being able to stay home alone in a relaxed manner. After all, being alone is not a skill that comes naturally for a dog; it is something every dog ​​needs to learn step by step.

What do we offer?

We offer a program for puppies that have not yet learned to be alone: ​​the Good Start Program.

The Good Start Program consists of:
  • An online consultation
  • Handouts with exercises
  • 4 weeks of guidance with weekly WhatsApp support
  • Tailored training

 

For dogs that struggle to be left alone, we offer a specially designed separation anxiety program.

The separation anxiety program consists of:

A 4-week starter package. Afterward, there is an option to sign up for a monthly subscription, which can be cancelled on a monthly basis.

The starter package includes:

  • 4 weeks of guidance
  • A 60-minute initial session
  • Access to a user-friendly training app
  • Tailored training plans
  • Feedback on training videos via WhatsApp twice a week
  • A Q&A session every two weeks to ask questions

 

The monthly subscription includes:

  • Ongoing guidance throughout the subscription period.
  • Access to a user-friendly training app.
  • Tailored training plans.
  • Feedback on training videos via WhatsApp twice a week.
  • A Q&A session every two weeks to ask questions.

 

Information

Minerva dog training
For whom?

Perhaps your dog never learned to be alone. Or maybe things went well for a long time, but something changed, and staying home alone now causes stress or anxiety. You are receiving complaints from neighbors because your dog barks excessively the moment you leave the house. You feel trapped in your own home.

It doesn’t matter which situation applies to you and your dog. What matters is that you are not alone in this.

Using our stress-free, calm, and positive training methods, we work towards a better situation for both you and your dog—so you can leave home with peace of mind, knowing your dog is relaxed while you’re away.

 

Why choose us?

We are certified experts specializing in separation-related behavior and separation anxiety. We are affiliated with Julie Naismith. 

We are using the SA Pro (Separation Anxiety Professional) method she developed. This method is scientifically grounded, but—even more importantly—it focuses on your dog’s well-being.

 

Why does this method work where many other methods fail?
  • Personalized step-by-step plans.
  • A foundation of safety and trust.
  • We follow your dog’s pace.
  • All signals from your dog are taken seriously, ensuring we do not cause stress and your dog learns that being home alone is safe.
