Alone & Okay · A separation anxiety plan for dogs whose people work full-time $37 · 7-day refund
Alone & Okay
For people who work full-time

Your dog can't handle 8 hours alone yet. Here's how to cover the workday while you train.

You can't stay home for months, and leaving a struggling dog alone all day keeps undoing progress. Alone & Okay pairs a plan for covering each workday with short, calm practice absences on evenings and weekends.

Sound familiar?

An honest note about coverage. While your dog is learning, a full workday alone is usually more than they can handle, and that's what makes training stall. Coverage (daycare a few days, a midday walker, a neighbor, a friend, a work-from-home day) isn't optional in this plan. The course helps you build the cheapest version that works for your week, including $0 options, and shrink it as your dog improves. Coverage costs are separate from the course.
The Train-and-Cover Method

Train in tiny steps, cover the workday, so progress finally sticks

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.

What help usually costs, and what this costs

One private trainer sessionoften $60–$180
Dog daycarearound $35–$50 a day

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.

Will this work for my dog?

A good fit if…

  • Your dog gets distressed when left alone (barking, pacing, chewing, accidents)
  • You work long days and can't just stay home for months
  • You've tried crates, treats, music or "cry it out" and it didn't stick
  • You can give about 15–35 minutes most days

Not the right fit if…

  • You want a quick fix or a guaranteed timeline
  • You're looking for medication or supplement advice
  • Your dog injures themselves, tries to escape or stops eating: please see your vet first

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.

What owners ask before they start

I work 9 to 5 (or longer). When do I train?

Most sessions are short, often under 20 minutes, and fit before work, in the evening or on weekends. The workday itself is for coverage, not training.

I can't afford daycare every day. Does this still work?

The Coverage System has $0, ~$75 and ~$200-a-week plans, mixing neighbors, friends, a walker, work-from-home days and a few daycare days. You pick what fits your budget.

How long until my dog can stay alone a full day?

We can't promise a timeline. It usually takes weeks to months and varies a lot from dog to dog. The Absence Diary shows your own dog's progress so you can reduce coverage when they're ready.

Is Alone & Okay worth it?

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.

How long does it take?

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.

Who is it for?

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.

Will this cure my dog's separation anxiety?

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.
