Are you stuck and don't know how to proceed?  Is separation anxiety having a negative impact on your well-being and your dog's quality of life?

Emily Priestley, CTC, SAPT, CDBC is a certified separation anxiety specialist through Julie Naismith. She is qualified to help you navigate through this debilitating diagnosis using the most current and up-to-date methods in a supportive and safe environment. Emily offers 1:1 support, coaching, daily plans and recommendations, and some of the most affordable plans in the industry to help you through this journey. 
 

Emily's clients have found peace and, finally, feel like they can go to the grocery store, movies, out to dinner, and do so with confidence and no more guilt!

Emily understands that separation anxiety is not an easy or stress-free behavior and that working on it can be challenging. That's why she's there to support you through zoom calls, daily plans, unlimited support, and affordable plans. Emily's program is designed to move at your dog's pace and to set up management to erase stressful moments.  She is well-versed in communicating with your vet to provide a community based, holistic approach to working towards success when your dog is left alone at home.  

 

The SA pro App

All of Wild at Heart's plans come with access to the SA PRO app, where you'll have all of your daily plans at your fingertips. You can text Emily, track progress, and receive feedback and graphs based on your dog's progress and needs. The app includes plans for home alone training, mat training, crate training, and door desensitization, and Emily will support you through all of it!

To get started, you'll have an assessment live on camera with Emily. During this call, we'll review your dog's history, current behaviours, and go over what your training will look like. You'll also be introduced to the app and receive access to handouts and plans to get you started. Emily will assess an alone time exercise and establish a baseline time to start your exercises.  

Our monthly package includes: 

  • 2 virtual coaching sessions via zoom 
  • 1 month of personalized daily plans (20 in total) 
  • Unlimited mat training and crate training plans 
  • Direct trainer/vet communication, as needed 
  • 1:1 daily support, feedback, and troubleshooting

What to expect

As with any fear-based behavior, we can't predict results and all dogs progress at their own pace. Emily's clients typically work with her for 3 months, with the average client starting at 5 seconds of alone time and graduating to 3 hours. At this point, many guardians are more than confident to continue on their own, having become pros themselves with Emily's guidance!
