For the person watching the camera
When leaving home takes a plan.
Arranging errands around your dog. Asking someone to stay home. Wondering whether you're helping. You deserve guidance that makes the next step clearer.
“Austin helped us through every puppy stage imaginable; he got us through potty training, crate training, food aggression issues, and Yoshi’s separation anxiety.”

Your trainer
Hi, I'm Austin.
I'm a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer trained through Malena DeMartini's program, a CPDT-KA, and an AKC evaluator, with over a decade of dog-training experience.
I enjoy helping people understand their dogs. You'll work directly with me, get honest explanations, and learn how to recognize progress and make informed training decisions.
We'll work remotely, where your dog's alone-time behavior actually happens: at home.
Before we talk
A few things you may be wondering.
How does online training work?
You set up a camera or device where I can observe your dog. During live reassessments, we coordinate your return and discuss what we see. Between calls, you follow your missions and record observations in our shared log.
How long will my dog need training?
Every dog and household is different. Four weeks is a billing block, not a promised completion date. We'll review progress and decide together whether further support makes sense.
What do I receive from the assessment?
A live observation, an explanation of what I see, and a recommendation about fit and next steps. Individualized missions begin only after program enrollment.
What support is available between calls?
Weekday review of your mission notes and feedback, with responses by the next business day. This is scheduled coaching rather than emergency or around-the-clock support.
What if veterinary support is needed?
Medical questions and medication decisions belong with your veterinarian. With your permission, I can share training observations to support that collaboration.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Tell me about your dog. We'll start with a free conversation about whether this approach makes sense for you.
