More Info

Dogs who suffer from SA are truly panicked about being home alone: they may soil the house, eat the window molding, howl in misery all day, and/or pant, shake, and drool entire lakes of saliva.

The good news is that this serious and frustrating problem has a very high treatment success.  There is no instant cure, but if you follow the recommended training schedule to the letter, most cases are resolved in 6-8 weeks. I’ll Be Home Soon also distinguishes between dogs with SA and dogs who merely misbehave, and then provides a clear, step-by-step behavior modification program to keep your dog happy and your house safe while you’re away.

Who Should Buy

Trainers & Behaviorists

1st Time and Experienced Dog Owners

Veterinarians/Veterinary Technicians
Help your clients address this common behavioral issue with this clear and concise explanation of desensitization and counter classical conditioning. Research has shown that medication is not effective without concurrent behavior modification.

Shelters/Rescues/Foster Homes
We all know that SA is prevalent in rescued dogs who have gone from a busy shelter to being alone in a new home. Although we don’t know whether dogs were surrendered with SA or developed it after leaving their previous home, we do know what to do about it. Let I’ll Be Home Soon increase the chance of a successful placement by preventing or treating SA right from the start.
