Dog training plan for anxious dogs

Your dog panics when you leave. The whining starts before you even grab your keys. Bubbas gives you a calm, repeatable separation anxiety training plan that builds confidence step by step — no flooding, no guesswork.

“I used to cancel plans because my dog would lose it the second I left. Bubbas broke it into tiny steps we could actually do. By the end of the first week, the whining was down, and he started settling instead of pacing. It felt like somebody finally handed me a real plan.”

— Sarah M., golden retriever, separation anxiety

What you’ll work on

  • Building a calm departure routine your dog can predict
  • Gradually increasing alone-time tolerance (minutes, not hours)
  • Reducing panic triggers (keys, shoes, coat)
  • Managing barking and whining when left alone
  • Handling noise reactivity and startle responses

What you’ll learn in Week 1

Week 1 is about building calm routines and lowering the “panic spikes” that make anxiety worse. You won’t fix everything overnight — but you’ll start seeing real, measurable wins.

  • Spot your dog’s anxiety triggers (and what to do before they spiral)
  • Build a simple “calm start” routine that sets the tone for the day
  • Practice short settle sessions (so calm becomes a skill, not a mood)
  • Start gentle alone-time steps (for separation anxiety)
  • Track progress without overthinking it (so you know what’s working)

Most dog parents notice the first changes as “fewer meltdowns” and “faster settling” when they stay consistent.

How the plan works

We start with tiny departures — seconds, not minutes. Your dog learns that leaving is boring, not terrifying. Each day builds on the last, so your dog’s confidence grows at their pace, not yours.
