Effective training for reactive dogs
Helping your reactive, nervous, or over excited dog feel better about the world, while reducing the overall frequency and intensity of their outbursts.

Reactivity is just a small part of your dog’s personality, but it can have a big impact on their life and yours.
If you share your life with a reactive dog, you know that this behaviour is just a small part of their personality. Your dog is also goofy, silly, fun, sensitive and affectionate. At the same time, managing their outbursts can be very stressful. You’re here because you want to help your dog be calmer and more relaxed in the world around them.
Welcome! That’s what this program is all about!
