Calm Home Alone

Relaxed when left at home.

Build up to being alone slowly: a crate or bed they love, seconds then minutes, and a leaving routine that stops being a big deal.

Calm Home Alone: an owner training their dog

Good for

  • Dogs who cry or bark when left
  • Puppies learning to be alone
  • Owners going back to the office

If your dog panics, injures themselves or can't be left even briefly, ask your vet about separation anxiety support.

How it works

Levels unlock in order, so you always know what to practice next. Each step is a short lesson, a command with a rep counter, a game or a guide. Finish a step anywhere in the app and it counts here too.
