Dog training programs

Reward-Based Reactive Dog Training

When your dog barks, lunges, or becomes overwhelmed around triggers, everyday outings can be difficult. Our program focuses on understanding those reactions and building practical skills.

Ask About Training

Understand the reaction, then change the setup

Reactive Dog Support is an 8-week in-home coaching program for suitable dogs who react to other dogs, people, bicycles, noises, or other triggers. We use reward-based methods to help you recognize what your dog is communicating and choose manageable situations for practice.

What we can work on

Reading body language and identifying triggers
Finding distances where your dog can notice a trigger without becoming overwhelmed
Using management, space, and predictable routines to reduce difficult encounters
Building positive associations and useful responses around distractions
Planning realistic practice that respects your dog’s progress and comfort

Is this the right program?

We work with suitable reactivity cases, but this program is not intended for dogs who are actively snapping or biting. We can help direct families needing that level of care toward a qualified behavior professional, such as a veterinary behaviorist or Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist.

If your dog mainly pulls without reacting to triggers, Leash Manners may be a better starting point. We’ll discuss suitability before scheduling.

A little guidance goes a long way
