Reactive Dog Training and Support 

Are you struggling with your dog's reactivity?  Are they displaying behaviours like excessive barking, growling and lunging on lead?  Do they have over the top reactions to triggers such as other dogs, people or cars?   Do you hate walking your dog because of how they react?

Look no further – our Reactive Dog Support training and support package is here to help you and your dog.  

We know how you feel because we've been there! Living with a reactive dog is tough for dogs and for their humans and our package aims to support you both.  You'll work one to one with Karen to better understand the needs of your dog and how you can help them, taking a holistic approach and employing evidence-based, force-free training methods specific to your dog and you.  Together you'll  work on an individual dog reactivity training and support plan to address and change their behaviour kindly and effectively.   

 This is an in-depth one to one dog training and support package for dogs who are reactive in the presence of certain triggers that they find scary or feel anxious or worried about. The trigger/s are specific to your dog and could be anything - dogs, people, cyclists, children, men, noises outside...the list goes on.  

Option One: Six Session Reactive Dog Training Package

The reactive dog training package will focus on reducing arousal, decompression,  building calmness and teaching essential life skills.   Crucially, we'll also support you to reduce your dog's anxiety, desensitise your dog to their triggers appropriately and help them have a more positive feeling in the presence of their triggers.

In this reactive dog training package of support you'll benefit from:
