Watch the video below to learn more about Separation Anxiety.
Malena has focused exclusively on SA since 2001, working many hundreds of cases and constantly innovating to find better ways to treat the condition and support clients. Her particular strengths lie in reading the subtleties of dog body language and guiding owners patiently and with great enthusiasm through the gentle process of healing their dogs.
Today, her practice is split between overseeing a team of the top SA trainers in the world and continuing to educate trainers, veterinarians, and dog owners to better treat SA, in order to help the most number of dogs and humans possible overcome this agonizing issue. In addition to writing and lecturing, Malena runs a certification program for accomplished dog professionals looking to hone their SA skills and also has produced an online self-paced course for dog owners.
Malena lives in Northern California with her husband Kevin—also a certified dog trainer—their dog Tini DeMartini, and a myriad of local separation anxiety dog-friends who occasionally hang out while completing their training.
