When your dog suffers from separation anxiety, daily activities become REALLY hard.
You’ve tried everything that’s been recommended to you: crate training, increased physical exercise, letting them “cry it out”, food puzzles, calming supplements…
Nothing is working and you’re running out of options.
Fast forward to a year from now.
Imagine the ease of leaving the house to buy groceries, or to meet a friend for that long overdue coffee. Imagine closing your home office door during a work call….or going on a date night!!
Imagine walking out of your front door, without worrying about leaving your dog behind.
All of this is possible - let me show you how.

I hold TWO certifications specific to Separation Anxiety.
To fully understand the complexities of this condition it’s important that the person you work with is up to date with the latest research and methodology.
There are currently only two certifications that specialize in separation anxiety cases, CSAT and SA Pro. Your veterinarian will recommend that you work with a trainer who holds at least one of these certifications - I have both!
I couldn’t leave Mickey alone for more than a few seconds without him crying.
I was having food delivered from the market. If I went to a doctor appointment, I would have to leave him in doggie daycare. I had to take Mickey with me wherever I went.
When I started with Saffrina, I was desperate for help. Now that we have been meeting with her for the last six months, Mickey is like a different dog. He is relaxed when I leave him alone - today he just aced 3 hours! What a relief for me! I’m getting my life back!
Saffrina is a very supportive trainer who provides expert instruction. If your dog is stressed when alone, I urge you to consult with her. Getting your life back is priceless!

This was a huge game changer.
Saffrina is extremely detailed and dedicated to Olive's separation anxiety training and most importantly she is also very patient and kind.
When we experienced setbacks, Saffrina would have a useful tip or trick up her sleeve to help along the way. Without Saffrina helping us through every step, we most certainly would have pushed Olive too fast and too hard. Instead, we are now seeing a whole new side to Olive where she is actually lying down, relaxed and comfortable! We still have a very long way to go, but we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel thanks to Saffrina's guidance and training!

Catalina has been doing so great.
We have been able to get up to a couple of hours and I've actually been able to start leaving her when I go to work, with her walker picking her up part way through the day. She usually settles and goes to sleep on the sofa, it feels like she knows what to do with herself now.
Thank you for all the help getting to this point! It has been really life changing for us and Cata!

It's hard to overstate this. This is literally life changing for us.
Last night we had Frankie's reassessment where we ran the timer. She got to 40 minutes and could have gone much longer. She showed no stress cues, in fact she didn't even lift her head. Just settled right down immediately.
Obviously this is incredible news. Kelly and I are both ecstatic with the progress we've made. We couldn't have done it without you, as I would definitely have pushed her too hard. It's hard to overstate this. This is literally life changing for us.

Thank you Saffrina for helping us reach this incredible milestone!
After trying on our own for a while we realized we needed additional help. Saffrina has been a wonderful supportive, adaptable and understanding along the way. In the short time already we’ve seen such huge progress! Can’t wait to see where we go from here!
