Separation-related anxiety is a phobia or intense fear of being left alone. A dog that suffers from it will experience extreme feelings of fear and panic when left alone. It is comparable to panic attacks in people and is equally debilitating. When in the midst of extreme fear and anxiety, the resulting behaviors are unintentional and not the result of a dog being angry or spiteful. Instead, they are trying to make it stop. Without proper treatment, this condition will worsen and will not just go away on its own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609f065e050a823b22cc045d/1623098037993-LT5Q99ZNGGQKCKV8AP60/petting-dog-on-leash.jpg How It Works - A word about setbacks Working with separation anxiety is a complex process. Dogs, like people, are sensitive to environmental and daily events, which can influence their training trajectory. As much as everyone (myself included) would love to have a linear path to success, it is unrealistic. The truth is that you should expect to experience training setbacks and plateaus. They are a natural part of the learning process and progression towards long-term success. No two dogs are the same and your dog’s separation anxiety training will be tailored distinctively to their needs every step of the way. As your training partner, I am committed to supporting you throughout all the highs and lows of training as we work towards your training goals. You will not be alone in this journey! https://www.northstartraining.info/services-pricing daily 0.75 2024-08-15 https://www.northstartraining.info/about-us daily 0.75 2025-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609f065e050a823b22cc045d/1623157435521-C8IH7N3PCL0ESN1GVBQV/carm-and-big-black-dog.jpg About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.northstartraining.info/get-started-2 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.northstartraining.info/get-started daily 0.75 2023-08-22 https://www.northstartraining.info/animal-pros daily 0.75 2025-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609f065e050a823b22cc045d/4d7ae2ad-ac4b-47d9-81c0-a297a676dcae/CCC-logo.png For Animal Pros - Are you unsure how to navigate difficult client conversations, trainer-trainer conflicts, or are you trying to improve client compliance?

She holds a Master’s degree in Conflict Resolution (CRES), is a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA-CTP), is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), and a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT). In 2016, Carm completed her Master’s degree in conflict and dispute resolution (CRES) from the University of Oregon. Her academic journey included research exploring the potential restorative impact of prison animal programming through interviews with incarcerated individuals working with and sharing their confined living quarters with dogs nationwide. She has contributed insights from her research to a chapter in the book “Prison Dog Programs” published by Springer. It was this research that inspired her career working with dogs. From 2016 to 2020, she dedicated her time to transformative initiatives as she co-directed and facilitated an innovative education and restorative justice program with adults in custody at Oregon State Correctional Institution with The Insight Development Group (IDG). Her work with IDG allowed her to witness firsthand the profound impacts of education and restorative practices among individuals often in conflict with themselves, their past, present, and future. Drawing inspiration from her research and work with IDG, Carm applies lessons from these experiences to bridge better connections in her work with dogs and their families. Building on her background in conflict resolution (CRES), she specializes in using mediation and facilitation skills to navigate challenging conversations and enhance communication outcomes when communication becomes difficult. She wants to help other animal professionals improve their conversational tools to optimize professional collaborations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609f065e050a823b22cc045d/bfc61c05-34da-447a-8920-bba6cea3aba9/Oxford%2BConsortium%2BLOGO%2BBlue%2BBackground.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609f065e050a823b22cc045d/2ef2c712-0f2e-49ad-a500-323ad4c3ef46/AD-Full-Logo-HEX-1B1464.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609f065e050a823b22cc045d/831aa23e-e8fa-44a4-9dad-f0d23c439f36/640x200-CRES-Emma-v2b-Transform+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609f065e050a823b22cc045d/64b55dc6-0c4d-4693-9002-b786c3dc33c2/1454397997.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg For Animal Pros https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg For Animal Pros https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg For Animal Pros https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607007355264-EQINP2XUZQO9PPNNDRZD/Aro%2BHa_0010-larger.jpg For Animal Pros https://www.northstartraining.info/contact-carm daily 0.75 2025-06-01
