Separation Anxiety Support For You & Your Dog

Helping dogs feel safer, calmer and more confident when home alone.

Specialist separation anxiety support based in West Sussex, with remote coaching available through Zoom, WhatsApp and our dedicated training app.

Does Your Dog Struggle When You Leave?

Leaving your dog home alone should not feel stressful for either of you.

If your dog becomes distressed when you leave, you may notice behaviours such as:

Excessive barking, whining or howling
Pacing and restlessness
Destructive behaviour
Toileting indoors
Trying to escape
Following you constantly around the home
Becoming anxious when they notice you preparing to leave
Difficulty settling when left alone

These behaviours can be signs that your dog is struggling to cope with separation.

With the right support, you can begin helping your dog feel safer and more comfortable when spending time alone.

We were struggling to walk our 1.5yr old cockapoo. She was lurching towards other dogs, people, birds, squirrels (pretty much everything). Misha introduced the whistle to us and some fantastic training techniques. Misha has given us so much confidence to walk our cockapoo on a short and long line and we can not thank Misha enough.

We recently finished a 1-2-1 training package with Misha at Hudsons Tails and Trails for our 15-month-old Working Cocker Spaniel. He’s currently in his adolescence and his hunt drive is incredibly strong—he was frequently disappearing off to chase birds and wildlife. Misha was brilliant at showing us how to manage this. We focused on whistle training, eye contact, and engagement, which have made a world of difference. We also really appreciated the training plans Misha provided between our sessions. They were clear, easy to follow, and kept us on track so we could actually see progress every week. If you have a high-drive dog, Misha’s expertise is invaluable!

Emma Russell

Thank you Misha! Just completed the 6 week course and found it really useful. Lots of fun and very informative. Feel better equipped to be more in control, and think that Betty will enjoy her walks more too.

Charlotte

Misha was excellent at providing tips and guidance to help with training our 2 very lively flatcoated retrievers. All her training was clear and easy to follow. We found it straightforward to follow and quickly noticed that they were positively responding to it. I would definitely recommend Misha, your pup will thank you 😊

Nicole Tope

We recently used Hudson’s tails and Trails after being advised we need a gun dog trainer for our crazy working cocker spaniel. After reading the reviews and talking to Misha we decided that Misha’s training was just what we needed. We’d done some basic group training with another trainer beforehand but Misha’s training was by far superior! She is an amazing trainer and is so helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. Misha gives you exactly what she says and more! Her training plans after every session are so in depth and dog specific and she is very responsive to videos of independent training in between the sessions. Our boy still has a long way to go but with her structured plans and guidance we are now able to fulfil his needs and have a much calmer and responsive pooch. We have had many praises from people that knew him before and even strangers on how well behaved he is. I can now trust him in country parks which is just amazing - even with his crazy toddler brother running around! Thank you so much Misha! You truly are amazing and we hope Lincoln can be as good as your two adorable cockers one day!

Magic Misha …. What more can I say. Her calm, confident and professional approach has turned our Herbert of a working cocker spaniel into a well trained 8 month old pup that will now respond to recall and is able to walk off lead sticking close by, he now socialises calmly with known dogs and is getting used to meeting new ones. I know that I will have to put in time and effort over the coming years and months to turn Herbie into an exceptional adult dog but thanks to Misha I feel confident that this can be achieved. Thank you

My two Welshies and I have undergone a magical transformation under Misha’s guidance. We have had 1 to 1 help as I had completely lost my confidence handling my strong dogs despite owning this breed and family line for over 25 years. Misha’s professional approach is second to none. She is extremely knowledgeable about meeting the needs of Spaniels and has a supportive, caring attitude with humans too! Her enthusiasm, energy and commitment is superb. I especially appreciate the extra support she has given us outside of our ‘formal’ meeting times. I was at a stage when I could see no light at the end of a long tunnel. Now, I feel so much more confident and my wonderful dogs and I are enjoying life together. You haven’t got rid of us yet, dear Misha 💖

Amie Jane

Misha is incredible and has helped us so much to understand our pup and learn how to manage some of the tricky traits of our beloved spaniel! Without her support, i’m not sure we would have coped or been able to tackle some behaviours that were becoming really challenging for us and we didn’t know how to help our dog. If you have a spaniel, even one that is ‘well behaved’, you will learn something new about your dog and some ways to fulfil them and make them even happier. I have learnt so much as a dog owner and have developed confidence and skills that felt impossible 8 weeks ago. Misha has so much knowledge and experience and on top of that is kind, supportive and keeps it real. We can’t thank her enough 🙏🏻

Owning a working cocker spaniel is a special thing! They need a combination of stimulation, work, exercise and reward. To date, we (in my opinion) had done a pretty good job with taking our dog Ronnie, who’s now 12 months old, to basic dog training classes to provide a foundation level of training and etiquette. Ronnie being a working dog desired more and we as owners, owed it to Ronnie to unleash his instincts and provide more training, stimulation and reward! My partner Julie found Hudson’s Tails and Trails who are spaniel specific and locally based to us so we connected with Misha and Dani and are so happy that we did! The level 1 course of Spaniel Shenanigans we enrolled on was spread over a 6 week period and was hosted in a beautiful setting within the South Downs which provided the perfect environment for the dogs. The location provided a safe and secure environment to train and learn with the dogs both on and off the lead as well as a mix of undergrowth to really test the dogs. The way the classes are structured provides a simple way for owners and dogs to learn which increases in complexity week on week ending up on week 6 showcasing how far the dogs and owners had come! This structure provided each and every participant with the confidence and reassurance that we were all in it together. Another great idea from Misha and Dani was to host a dedicated FaceBook page for the classes and content so you could read and refresh each training type between the weekly sessions. In addition Misha and Dani encouraged us all to upload our homework (both good and bad) where they’d provide feedback and tips to help improvements. All in all we can’t thank Misha and Dani enough for providing such a great, safe, fun and informative environment for both us and our dog. We had an amazing time, it was helpful meeting and speaking with other spaniel owners and we felt buzzing after every class and can’t wait for the level 2 class later in the year. Thanks again Misha and Dani, keep up the fantastic work. Best wishes Phil, Julie and Ronnie
