Does your dog struggle when left on their own?
If your dog struggles when you step out of the door, you’re not alone. Many dogs find it difficult to cope with being left, whether that means whining, barking, pacing, or showing signs of real distress. It can leave you feeling guilty, worried, and unsure how to help. The good news is, with the right approach, separation issues can be overcome.
This 'Brave at Home' package is designed to support both you and your dog every step of the way. You’ll learn how to understand what’s really going on when your dog panics at your absence, how to rebuild their confidence, and how to gradually teach them that being alone is safe. Together, we’ll create a clear, achievable plan that fits your lifestyle and moves at your dog’s pace.
Through one-to-one guidance and practical training plans, you’ll gain the tools and knowledge to make real progress. Whether your dog is newly struggling or has had separation challenges for years, this package gives you the structure and reassurance you need to move forward.
At Education4Paws we aim to make an assessment of your dog's emotions to identify the underlying cause of the undesirable behaviour. Based on this assessment we will then offer a tailor made plan to help you manage the problem and work to resolve the issue
Sessions are all conducted online (because it's much easier to practise absences when I am not there as an extra distraction) and are offered nationwide.

Complete the forms
Get in touch with me and let me know what you need help with
Once you have selected your behaviour package you can forward a vet referral form to your vet for completion. You will then be forwarded another form to complete as a family.
Book a date
Once I receive all forms, we can then book in a date for your initial consult!
Why does my vet need to be involved?
All behaviour consultations operate off veterinary referral. This means we require your vet to complete a form and attach your dog's medical history before we can see your dog.
This is to rule out any medical conditions that may be affecting your dog's behaviour as well as opening up the communication between us and your vet should further conversations need to be had.
There is evidence to suggest up to 80% of behaviour cases have an underlying medical component that could be contributing towards their behaviour so it is vital we address this within our initial assessment.

FAQs
I have recently completed a behaviour package with Education 4 Paws and have since attended some of the loose lead and reactivity training workshops. Alice takes a holistic approach to understanding dog behaviour, rather than solely just focusing on training. She aims to find the root cause of the behaviour which is crucial to understanding what your dog is going through and how you can best help them. Through working with Alice, I feel like I now truly understand the needs of my both my dogs and as a result, they are much happier (and so am I)!! I cannot reccomend Education 4 Paws enough.
