When your dog barks or howls after you leave, it's usually distress, not bad manners. Alone & Okay helps you reduce how often your dog is left past what they can handle, talk to neighbors and your landlord, and train calm alone time in small steps.

1. Train in tiny, calm steps. Find how long your dog can stay relaxed alone today, even if it's 10 seconds, and start just below it. Each calm session gets a little longer, and keys, shoes and the door get boring along the way. The Absence Diary suggests the next step.
2. Cover the workday so you don't undo it. While your dog is learning, they shouldn't be left past what they can handle. The Work-Week Coverage System helps you plan each workday with daycare, a walker, a neighbor, a friend or a work-from-home day, with $0, ~$75 and ~$200-a-week options.
Based on published veterinary behavior guidance, including the ASPCA, the RSPCA and a peer-reviewed review of treatment. They are not affiliated with us and don't endorse the course.
About 15 to 35 minutes a day.
| Day | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Check the vet red flags and film one "normal" departure. |
| 2 | Map your work week in the Coverage Planner. |
| 3 | Set up a calm zone and switch to low-key goodbyes and hellos. |
| 4 | List your departure cues and make keys and shoes boring. |
| 5 | Find your starting point with the Threshold Calculator, then do your first short absence. |
| 6 | Send the neighbor note and give caregivers the handoff card. |
| 7 | Review the Diary graph and adjust next week's coverage. |
Typical US prices from Rover, Angi and VetCostGuide (2026); yours may differ. Good trainers and daycare can be worth it, and the course helps you use them only where they matter most.
Tried before and it didn't work? That's common. Most plans skip covering the workday, so a long absence undoes the progress. Here you train in small steps and plan coverage, with rules for bad days.
For severe cases, talk to your veterinarian or a certified behavior professional. The course doesn't give medication advice. Every dog is different and results vary.
Look through the lessons, try the tools, and do the first week. If it's not for you, ask for a refund within 7 days through Hotmart and you get every cent back. No questions asked.
No honest plan can promise that. Covering the hours your dog can't handle yet usually helps sooner than training alone, and training builds calm alone time over weeks to months. Results vary.
The Neighbor Letter Generator drafts a short, friendly note explaining what you're doing and how they can reach you. It's not legal advice; check your lease and local rules.
No. Punishment tends to add fear for dogs who are already distressed when alone. The course uses small, calm practice steps and coverage.
It's worth it if you want a structured, step-by-step plan built around a workday, for $37 one time, with a 7-day money-back guarantee through Hotmart. It is not a cure, results vary from dog to dog, and it doesn't replace your vet or a behavior professional for severe cases.
The first plan takes 7 days of short daily sessions. Real change with separation problems usually takes weeks to months and varies a lot from dog to dog, so we don't promise a timeline. The Diary tool shows your own dog's progress.
Owners of dogs of any age who struggle when left alone, especially people who work long days and need a plan to cover the workday while they train. If your dog injures themselves, stops eating or the behavior started suddenly, see your vet first.
No honest course can promise that. You get a clear, research-based plan and tools to follow it. Every dog is different, and some need a vet or a certified behavior professional alongside training.
