FAQs
Why is this course different than other webinars or courses out there?
This course is a foundational introduction to separation anxiety and is perfect for budget-conscious people or those who are looking to try to DIY their training, with some professional guidance. If you are looking for a comprehensive program with one-on-one support weekly then I suggest you schedule and initial assessment to get started on your journey with me guiding you every step of the way.
Is there personalized support?
Graduates of the program are invited to join a private Facebook group which is a supportive community for you to ask questions and have an opportunity to attend office hours with Kate on a regular basis. One of your course bonuses is also a discount code for a single one-on-one private session with Kate if you feel you need additional personalized guidance.
Is my dog just stubborn or angry I'm leaving him?
Absolutely not. While it can be easy to think this, the reality is, your dog is anxious and having the equivalent of a human a panic attack when they are left alone, if they have separation anxiety. Dogs don’t have the same depth of emotions as humans to experience things like guilt, revenge, jealousy, resentment or anger. It’s just not how they’re wired. This isn’t a choice your dog is making. They’re suffering and struggling, not looking for attention.
Can I buy this as a gift?
Absolutely! What a great gift! Just purchase a gift certificate for the course amount and then contact me to let me know who your gift recipient is, along with their email and I’ll get them all set up with the course. Or, I can send you a digital gift certificate you can give them and they can contact me directly to get set up.
How do I access the course after I purchase it?
You can always access the course from My Account/My Courses at the top of this website!
I'm a trainer. Are there CEUs available?
Yes! This course is approved for CPDT-KA: 0, CPDT-KSA SKILLS: 0, СВСС-КА: 2 and PPAB: 2. I am still waiting for approval from IAABC.
