reactivity programme
An 8-week training plan for dogs who bark and lunge at other dogs, people, vehicles or anything else. Weekly private sessions, unlimited coaching in between, and a focus on upskilling the owner as well as the dog to achieve real, lasting results.
For committed owners who are prepared to make changes and put the work in between sessions, to develop a well-adjusted companion with a calmer mindset and better quality of life.
what's included?
✓︎ 1 virtual session to take a detailed history, teach you the key training concepts you'll need, and get you started with some foundational homework
✓︎ 7 in-person sessions training you and your dog - we'll work on your dog's behaviour in real-life environments, often with the help of my stooge dog
✓︎ 3 free group classes to proof your dog's new skills around other dogs and connect with like-minded people on the same training journey
✓︎ Bespoke homework plans to guide your practice between sessions and keep your dog progressing consistently
✓︎ Daily WhatsApp support because training doesn't stop when the session ends - I'll be on hand 7 days a week to offer extra guidance, answer questions, and provide feedback on your training videos
how does it work?
Rather than seeing reactive behaviour in isolation, my approach takes into account the whole dog as an individual, including their lifestyle, emotional state, everyday structure, and underlying reasons behind their behaviour.
We won't just suppress the reactions, we'll first proactively teach your dog what we do want them to do, and equip them with skills to help them regulate their emotions and make better choices in all areas of their life. We'll work on:
✓︎ Motivation and engagement
✓︎ Clear communication
✓︎ Relationship building and play
✓︎ Impulse control and self-regulation
✓︎ Loose lead walking
✓︎ Recall
✓︎ Settling in the home and in public
✓︎ Choosing you over distractions
✓︎ Genetic fulfilment and outlets
✓︎ Counterconditioning & desensitisation to their triggers
✓︎ Productive alternatives to their reactive behaviour
Your dog will be trained to a high standard of obedience as part of the programme, but obedience will only be a small part of their behavioural rehabilitation. The ultimate outcome will be a dog who can be trusted to make good choices while at liberty, without relying on constant management and commands.
The programme is £495. Ready to change your dog's life?
other options
Not every dog needs a full intensive programme. If you have either:
- a dog without behavioural issues such as reactivity, and you only need help with obedience e.g. loose lead walking or recall
- a puppy under 6 months
Then we can work towards your goals in individually booked sessions. Information on this option can be found here.
