Ready to go beyond managing reactive outbursts? Reactivity Reset explores the why behind your dog’s reactivity, focusing on underlying emotions rather than symptoms alone. Through reward-based training, help your dog build calm and confidence for a happier, more connected life together. Transform reactivity into resilience.

Giving YOU the knowledge to help your dog

Understanding the process, not just managing the outcome!

Owning a reactive dog is HARD WORK—I get it, I’ve been where you are! The constant worry, frustration, and guilt of handling outbursts can feel isolating. You’ve probably tried quick fixes, maybe even felt like you were failing, but your dog’s behavior isn’t improving. The Reactivity Reset course offers a different approach. Instead of tackling reactions head-on, we dive into the why behind your dog’s behavior, helping you uncover the unique motivations driving their reactivity.

This isn’t a quick fix—because true change takes time and understanding. With our experience and support, you’ll gain the tools to work on the emotions and drives underlying your dog’s reactions, creating lasting changes that go beyond managing outbursts. Whether your dog’s reactivity stems from fear, frustration, or excitement, we’re here to help you understand it, so you can rebuild calm, resilience, and confidence in your dog.

If you’re ready to turn reactivity into resilience and want a trainer who’s been there, this is the program for you.
