The Ultimate Reactivity Package –

A 10-Session Transformation Journey

I’ve been there myself—when a dog’s reactivity takes over, it can feel overwhelming, stressful, and at times, completely isolating. Walks become something you dread, and it can feel like no matter what you try, nothing quite works.

But you’re not alone—and more importantly, this can be changed.

With over 20 years of experience working with all breeds, sizes, and levels of reactivity, I understand both sides of the lead. This isn’t just about training your dog—it’s about supporting you too.

This is why I offer a 10-session Ultimate Reactivity Package—because real behaviour change doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, guidance, and the right structure to truly turn things around.

What We’ll Work On Together

Across your 10 sessions, we’ll build everything step by step—giving you and your dog the skills, confidence, and understanding needed to move forward safely and successfully.

We’ll cover:

  • Foundations before triggers
    Building strong focus, engagement, and calm behaviours before your dog even sees another dog

  • Handling skills (the human side of the lead)
    Learning how to physically and mentally handle your dog in challenging moments so you feel in control—not overwhelmed

  • Calm walking strategies
    Understanding how to walk your dog in a way that reduces stress and prevents reactions before they happen

  • Impulse control & emotional regulation
    Helping your dog learn to pause, think, and respond differently instead of reacting automatically

  • Reading your dog
    Spotting early signs of stress so you can step in at the right time

  • Reconditioning emotional responses
    Gradually changing how your dog feels about triggers so they become calmer and more comfortable over time

  • Real-life training
    Working in your local environment—your walks, your routes, your real-world challenges

  • Building your confidence
    So you feel capable, calm, and in control when it matters most

Why 10 Sessions?

Because this is a journey, not a quick fix.

True reactivity work means:

  • Changing emotional responses

  • Building new habits

  • Supporting both dog and owner

  • Practicing in real-life situations

And that takes consistency, guidance, and time.

The Result

By the end of your journey, you won’t just have a dog that’s improving—you’ll have:

  • A clear plan

  • Strong handling skills

  • Confidence in your decisions

  • A calmer, more connected dog

And most importantly…
You’ll feel like you can enjoy your dog again.
