Jo said: Winning the reward is a huge gratitude of recognition of the hard work and dedication I have put in for spreading awareness of Separation Anxiety and helping more owners and dogs feel safe when home alone.

How it all started,
Reba was my first ever dog. I brought her home at 8 weeks old full of excitement and joy for what was to come.

Little did I know at the time that I wouldn’t sleep for a year and that she’d be so riddled with anxiety that we’d both be completely crackers and in need of some serious help.

See, Reba was incredibly anxious from the outset. She was unable to be left alone for even a minute. Making a cup of tea, taking a shower or putting the bins out became a huge event, and the stress levels were rising by the day.

I didn’t know what separation anxiety was at the time. I had no clue what was going on or how to begin to fix it.

I spoke to my vet and took to Google, but everything I tried just made things ten times worse.
I just kept being told to persevere with crate training, but Reba was severely crate phobic, and the persistence just made her anxiety grow.

Eventually, I began to understand separation anxiety, and I rather haphazardly managed to help Reba feel more confident alone. It took a long time, and it was a lot of trial and error.

If I knew then what I know now, it could have been so much easier and quicker for us both.

I’m now a certified separation anxiety pro trainer. I’m devoted to helping other owners and dogs struggling with separation anxiety to build their dog’s confidence with an easy to follow, structured training plan that works.
