The Home Alone Training Guide

Help your dog feel more comfortable when left alone, one step at a time.

Does your dog bark, whine, pace or become unsettled when you leave the house? Perhaps they follow you everywhere, struggle when you leave a room or become distressed as soon as you pick up your keys.

Helping your dog become more comfortable alone can feel overwhelming, especially when you're unsure where to start or how quickly to progress.

The Home Alone Training Guide from Dovecote Dogs gives you a practical starting point, helping you understand your dog's behaviour and build the foundations for greater independence.

Inside the guide, you'll discover:

• Why some dogs struggle with being left alone.
• Common training mistakes that can make things harder.
• How to build independence and encourage settling at home.
• How to recognise signs of stress and work at a manageable pace.
• A seven-day starter plan to help you establish your foundations.
• Practical exercises, progress tracking and guidance on what to work on next.
• 
  

Who is this guide for?

Dog owners who want to help their dogs become more comfortable with separation and develop a clearer, more structured approach to training.

What you'll receive:

A downloadable PDF training guide that you can work through at your own pace and refer back to as your dog progresses.

Every dog is different, and progress takes time. This guide provides a starting point, but dogs experiencing significant separation-related distress may need individual support from a suitably qualified professional.

Take the guesswork out of getting started and begin building better foundations today.
