🚫 Virtual Training Myth-Busting 🚫

"My dog needs in-person training to really work."

I hear this constantly, and I get why it seems logical. But here's what I observe in my virtual separation anxiety practice:

REALITY: If I'm in your house, your dog isn't experiencing true alone time—they're experiencing "stranger present while person leaves" time

MYTH: "Virtual training is just settling for less"
REALITY: For separation anxiety, virtual training often works BETTER because I see your dog's authentic responses

MYTH: "Technology can't replace hands-on training"
REALITY: SA training is about systematic desensitization—it works based on consistent application, not physical proximity

As a certified separation anxiety specialist, I've guided hundreds of families to success virtually. Emma from Colorado went from daily dedication and urination in the house to 6-hour comfortable departures—all through virtual sessions.

What matters isn't where I am—it's that you have expert guidance, a proven protocol, and ongoing support.
