Meet Peanut — the Worrier.
Keys. Shoes. Door. Peanut feels it all before you even leave. We turn that panic into a calm routine you can repeat — one tiny win at a time.
Your dog training app for separation anxiety, crying, barking, and stress when you leave.
Gentle pacing. 2–5 minute reps. Built for real departures — not perfect dogs.

How Peanut fixes anxious departures
Not a lecture. A sequence.
Step 1
Defuse the leaving cues
We calm the moments that start the spiral — before the door even opens.
✓ Keys and shoes don’t trigger instant panic.
Step 2
Build calm alone time
Tiny departures → repeat → stretch time slowly (without flooding).
✓ You can leave briefly and come back to calmer behavior.
Step 3
Proof it in real life
Add difficulty with intention: distance → duration → distractions.
✓ Setbacks don’t reset you — you know the next rep.
What progress looks like (without the hype)
Week 1
Departures feel less explosive. You get a repeatable routine instead of guessing.
Week 2
Your dog recovers faster — and you start stacking calm reps, not chaos.
Week 4
You can leave with a plan. The house feels more normal again.

Why the anxious-dog plan works
Bubbas starts below the dog’s panic threshold, then uses short calm reps and check-ins before increasing alone-time difficulty.
Leaving routines are made predictable: same cue, same setup, same calm return, so departures stop feeling like a surprise event.
Household support keeps everyone from changing the rules mid-plan, which is especially important for anxious dogs that depend on predictability.
Frequently asked questions
How fast will I see progress with separation anxiety?+
Most people feel a difference in Week 1 — not “perfect alone time,” but less panic and more predictability. Real progress compounds when you repeat the same calm reps daily and increase difficulty slowly.
What if my dog gets worse when I leave?+
That’s common when the dog has been rehearsing panic for a while. We start by making the reps easier and shorter so your dog can succeed — then we build from there.
Is crying always separation anxiety?+
Not always. Sometimes it’s frustration, boredom, or a routine problem. The plan still works because it builds calm behavior and reduces the “leaving cues” spiral either way.
Can I do this if I have a busy schedule?+
Yes — the whole point is tiny reps. You’re not doing hour-long sessions. You’re doing short, repeatable moments that actually fit real life.
When should I hire a professional trainer or behaviorist?+
If there’s aggression, self-injury, severe panic, or things are escalating, bring in a certified pro. Bubbas can still support your daily structure, but safety and extreme anxiety deserve expert eyes.
