A gentle observation workbook for the moments your puppy spends without you. Start from what is already comfortable, change one small thing at a time, and record what you saw rather than a score.

It is not a treatment program for separation anxiety, and it never asks you to wait through distress. Real absences are planned separately, with care in place.

Made for you if

  • You want to practice short separations without turning a stopwatch into a deadline.
  • You would like a record you can show a trainer or vet if things get harder.
  • You already have a plan for home or work and want more space to record practice.

Questions about this book

My puppy is already distressed when alone. Is this the right book?

Please involve your vet and a qualified reward-based behavior professional first. The workbook supports ordinary practice and observation; it is not a treatment plan.

General information and planning only. Not medical, veterinary or other professional advice. Consult your vet or a qualified professional about your puppy’s individual needs.
