Meet Your Instructor

Hi I’m Jan Rawlings and I’ve been supporting dogs and their owners for over 20 years.

Separation anxiety is something I’ve worked with extensively, guiding families through the ups and downs, the slow days and the breakthroughs.

My approach is rooted in science-based, ethical methods and careful pacing, always considering the individual dog in front of us.

I don’t believe in rushing the process. I don’t believe in rigid timelines. And I don’t believe in adding pressure to already overwhelmed owners.

BUT… What I do believe in is structure, consistency and calm guidance, helping you feel confident in the steps you’re taking and supported while you take them.

    We were at complete breaking point when Jan first came on board. Jan worked closely (and patiently!) with us and gave us the knowledge and motivation to keep going when we needed it. We are now at over an hour with Norris where he can sleep soundly at home whilst me and my partner are out of the house.. something we thought we would never achieve!

  • Anna

    I would recommend Jan to all - she really understands dogs as well as people which is important! She offers a variety of training tools depending on your dogs' needs as well as being fantastic value for money for the wealth of knowledge and assistance she provides. Thank you Jan 😊

  • Emily

    We had a wonderful experience working with Jan, she has a fountain of knowledge about pets and truly cares about the providing the very best advice for you and your dog :) I would highly recommend her services at Best Buddies dog training & behaviour.

  • Robert

    In the space of a few months , my puppy cavapoo went from barking and howling even if I left her for a minute, to being comfortable on her own for 2hrs plus. Jan has been excellent throughout and has been there every step of the way. Now I feel like I have my life back!

  • Amanda

    I was at my wits end , stressed upset and felt a failure, Stanley was so anxious when I left. Jan was supportive from the offset , trust the process and don’t let a minor set back get you down - I wouldn’t believe he’s the same dog . Being able to shop, have a coffee with friends without worrying . All made possible by Jan with daily messages and on hand to speak when I felt it wasn’t working . Jan as performed a “doggy miracle!“ A Happy dog means Happy owner. Thank you Jan xx

  • Lauren

    I have worked with Jan since the beginning of January with my dachshund who suffered with separation anxiety and within 2 weeks of the programme I was seeing a difference!! I could not thank Jan more for the support and help she has given me and my dog! I would 100% recommend to anyone!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Separation anxiety exists on a spectrum. The Club is designed for owners who are ready to work

    carefully and consistently at their dog’s pace. If your dog requires intensive, highly personalised

    support, one-to-one coaching may be more appropriate.

  • All live sessions are recorded and available to replay. You can also submit questions in advance if

    you’re unable to attend live.

  • No. The SA Confidence Club provides structured guidance, live coaching and community support,

    but it does not replace personalised one-to-one training.

  • Progress varies from dog to dog. Some members notice early shifts, while for others progress is

    slower but steady. What matters most is building safely and consistently rather than rushing ahead.

  • Membership begins with a three-month foundation period. After this, ongoing membership (if you

    choose to continue) can be cancelled with one month’s written notice.
