Behaviour

Gone to the dogs?

Living with a reactive dog is tough. It's stressful, confusing, and can leave you feeling isolated and judged. You're avoiding parks, other dogs, even certain people – and walks? Forget about it. They're anything but enjoyable. You're not alone, and it doesn't have to be this way.

I get it. I've been there. I know exactly how overwhelming it can be. My own dog developed a fear of men after witnessing an attack. It changed everything. But I didn't give up.

I immersed myself in learning – talking to trainers, behaviorists, and studying everything I could find. And guess what? It worked! Just like raising a child takes a village, helping a reactive dog takes a dedicated team. My team helped me, and now I'm ready to help you.

Here's how I can help your reactive dog:

  • Understand the root cause: We'll work together to pinpoint what's triggering your dog's reactions. Is it fear? Anxiety? Something else entirely? Getting to the bottom of the "why" is the first step.
  • Create a personalized plan: No two dogs are the same. I'll develop a tailored training plan that addresses your dog's specific needs and your lifestyle.
  • Build confidence: We'll use positive reinforcement techniques to help your dog feel safer and more secure in different situations.
  • Manage triggers: I'll teach you practical strategies to manage your dog's reactivity on walks and in other challenging environments.
  • Reclaim your walks (and your sanity!): Imagine walks that are actually enjoyable again. We'll work towards that goal, step by step.

If you're ready to transform your walks and your relationship with your dog, you're in the right place. Let's work together to create a happier, more peaceful life for both of you.
