The Be Right Back Training Program
You should be able to leave the house. Let’s get you there.
A 3-month program with two ways to pay. The app, Smart Percy, and the community all work together so your dog’s coach already knows every pattern, every setback, and exactly what works.

*Based on dogs and families who trained consistently a minimum of three times a week for six months and achieved one hour or more alone time.
We’ve tracked 1.6 million training steps across 9,000 dogs and their guardians. It’s the largest separation anxiety training dataset in the world — and it’s what powers your dog’s training plan.
We know how isolating this is. We know you’ve probably already tried the kong, the music, the crate, the treats. We know some days it feels like it will never get better.
Without a structured program, most families try everything and nothing works. With one, the odds change completely.
Things can get better. 97% of families who succeeded had setbacks along the way — 28 of them on average. Setbacks don’t mean it’s not working. They’re part of how it works.
These are just a few of the dogs who made it through with Be Right Back!

I’ve gone from tears of heartbreak to tears of joy knowing she is sleeping peacefully while I’m gone. I’m greeted with bed head, sleepy eyes, and the sweetest kisses and tail wags. One of the amazing things is seeing how much more fun she has in daily life. I never would have known that the anxiety was keeping parts of her personality hidden.
Our first big win was going out to a movie together. It had been over a year since we could do that. Now we can confidently leave our dog for several hours and she is calm and relaxed the whole time.
A huge milestone: I cancelled my subscription because it worked so well! My dog went from being unable to be alone for more than a few seconds to napping while we went to a three hour movie. 100/100 thank you so much!
I never thought I would be writing this! 2hrs home alone! We have a 3yr old cockapoo Thelma. It took 9 months of consistent training to get to 30 mins. From there she has gone from strength to strength. So glad we stuck with it!
More from the community
“Using the BRB method gave me confidence to address my dog’s separation anxiety, while feeling like I was part of a community. I can run to the store, go to the gym, or go out for coffee without coming home to a dog in meltdown.”
M Campbell
“Penny has learned to be home alone thanks to this method. Every time I talk to people experiencing the same challenges, I recommend this method.”
Tenna & Penny
“Our little guy reached 2 hours today!! Starting with less than 3 seconds of alone time. Lots of hard work but so worth it!!”
Emily & Oscar
“This programme has been hugely helpful for desensitizing our dog to us leaving him alone. We found the approach very helpful and structured.”
VLW
“Ellie joined the 90 minute club today!! Woohoo! Lots of work but so worth it! Thanks Heroes!”
Lee Layden & Ellie
“The training program was great. The app was so helpful for constructing our training sessions. It was such a great motivator seeing our tracked progress!”
Stacey P
“We found having video reviews useful for learning more about Bear’s body language. We started at Door is a Bore and we can now leave Bear alone in the afternoons.”
Chloe Morris & Bear
“It’s almost time for Rosey and I to graduate from SA Heroes! On the big jump to 2h55 today, she never even got up off her bed!”
Jodi Stark & Rosey
“I made a lot of progress with my dog using this book. The key is in small increments and consistent training. It really works.”

Frequently asked questions
Does it work for every dog?
The science behind this method is the same for every dog — and we’ve seen it work for thousands of them. What we can’t promise is that every dog will get there, because we’re dealing with biology and the brain, and no honest program can guarantee that. What we can promise is that this is a tried, tested, and evidence-backed method. If any product or professional guarantees your dog will get over separation anxiety, that’s a red flag, not a reassurance.
Does it work for puppies?
Yes — and starting early is actually an advantage. The sooner you begin, the less ingrained the anxiety becomes. The method is the same, and puppies often respond beautifully to it.
Do I really need to commit for 3 months?
Yes. Be Right Back is a 3-month program, whether you pay in full or in monthly installments. We make that a commitment because separation anxiety work takes consistency, repetition, and time. The first weeks are about learning your dog, building rhythm, and making steady progress. Giving the program three full months gives you the structure and support needed to see the method through properly.
How long does it take?
We won’t fudge this. Most families see meaningful progress within weeks — dogs who couldn’t handle 30 seconds reaching 5 minutes. Bigger everyday freedom typically takes a few months of consistent training. More than half of families who follow the program reach one hour or more of alone time.* It’s a slow burn, but it works — and Smart Percy helps you see the progress even when it feels invisible.
Can I do this without one-to-one training?
Yes, for most dogs. The app and Smart Percy together give you the structure and guidance that would otherwise require a trainer. But if your dog has severe SA or you feel you need more personalized support, our SA Pro trainers are available inside the Separation Anxiety Heroes community — so you’re never fully on your own.
I’ve tried everything. How do I know this is different?
Because it’s not a tip or a trick — it’s a structured, science-backed program built on data from 9,000 dogs. The kong, the music, the calming supplements — those aren’t the method. This is. Without a structured program, most families try everything and nothing works. With one, the odds change completely. Smart Percy adjusts your plan based on every session, so you’re never guessing what to do next.
What if I don’t make progress? Is there a guarantee?
For the same reason we won’t make promises about your dog’s progress, we won’t hide behind a guarantee either. What we will say is this: try it for seven days, and if it’s not right for you and your dog, contact us for a no-questions-asked refund.
What if my dog regresses?
It happens — and it doesn’t mean the training isn’t working. 97% of successful families had setbacks — 28 of them on average. Regression is a normal part of the process, not a sign of failure. Smart Percy is specifically designed to spot regression patterns and reframe them for you, so you can see what’s really happening instead of panicking. A bad week doesn’t erase your progress.
Hi, I’m Julie.
I’ve spent 15 years helping dogs with separation anxiety — including my own dog, Percy, who this program is named after. I built the world’s largest separation anxiety training dataset. Then I built Smart Percy on top of it.
Be Right Back! is the most complete separation anxiety program that exists. The app, the AI, the community, the data — nothing else comes close. I built it because the support that actually works shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.
