Private Training - Online and In Person

Walking Through Reactivity

Our private training program will help you manage your dog's reactivity so both of you can get back to enjoying the world.

What I believe about reactive dogs

Reactive dogs aren't trying to be difficult.

They're overwhelmed. They don't know what else to do.

I don't believe barking and lunging are behaviours that need to be punished or suppressed. I believe they're a sign that a dog needs our help.

My job isn't to stop the behaviour. My job is to help dogs feel safe enough to think, teach them better options, and give them the skills to make calmer choices.

Because life is better when your dog chooses you.

If this sounds like life with your dog...

You love your dog, but you hate your walks.

Every walk feels stressful.

You're constantly scanning the environment. You worry about who or what might be around the next corner. You find yourself avoiding places you used to enjoy.

Instead of enjoying the time with your dog, you're hoping to get through the walk without another reaction.

You feel frustrated, embarrassed, and unsure how to help your dog.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. And there is another way.

How we will help you

We begin by helping you understand why your dog is reacting. Then together we'll teach your dog the skills they need to make better choices.

Everything is taught step by step, always working at a level where your dog can be successful.

Because lasting change doesn't come from forcing dogs through situations they can't handle. It comes from building confidence, one success at a time.

The goal isn't for your dog to love every person or every dog they meet. The goal is for them to become calm, confident, and neutral enough to enjoy more of the world.

You're Not Doing This Alone

Every dog is different. That's why applying what you learn is just as important as watching the lessons.

As you work through the course, you can ask questions through the course messaging system or send me a text whenever you need help. My goal is to help you take what you've learned in the videos and use it confidently with your own dog in everyday life.

If you'd like more individualized support, one-on-one coaching is available by Zoom or, for local clients, in person. Coaching sessions are available for an additional fee.

What's Included

  • A step-by-step online program you can work through at your own pace.
  • Practical lessons and demonstrations that show you exactly what to do.
  • Support to help you apply the training to your own dog.
  • Optional in-person coaching if you'd like additional hands-on guidance.

Whether you choose the online program on its own or add coaching, the goal is the same: to help you understand your dog, to help your dog learn better choices, and to help both of you create a bigger life together.
