Reactivity Reset

From Stress to Success – Guiding You and Your Reactive Dog to a Happier Life.

You don’t have a problem dog, you have a dog with a problem.

Your dog is amazing and wonderful in so many ways. But in certain situations they can shy away, become  fearful, grumbly, barky and may even lunge out or snap at dogs or people.

We call this Reactivity and it can be hard. It’s not what you imagined when you dreamt of life with a dog. You might even feel judged by total strangers on the street which doesn’t help. Maybe you find yourself wishing others could see just how wonderful your dog can be.

When I got my first reactive dog over 20 years ago I felt all of those things.  And I know that with the right help you can rediscover a stress-free and joyful life together.

Ready to learn how you can navigate life together with confidence, cooperation and connection?

About the Reactivity Reset program:

I fell in love with Kali the moment I met her, she was a true Heart Dog. She was also highly reactive. To dogs, grocery carts, rolling suitcase, skateboards – if it moved, she would bark and lunge. 

This was in the spring of 2000. Before smart phones, Google or social media. Before “reactivity” was even a word – back then these dogs were simply labelled aggressive.

Even though I had a degree in Animal Behaviour and had been working with dogs a few years already, I lacked the tools I needed and we struggled.

So I read a lot. I tried different things, I made mistakes. And when I felt I had a good handle on it I started helping others. And I knew then that I wanted to help even more people.

Kali went on to become the great dog she was meant to be and even helped me to help other dogs build confidence. 

The Reactivity Reset program is the culmination of over 20 years of learning and experience so that YOU DON’T HAVE TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.  

I’ve combined that with the most current wisdom and tools from the field of canine science and best practices in coaching people to create a program that is guaranteed to set you and your dog up for success.

😔 Are tired of sheepishly apologizing for or trying to explain your dogs seemingly antisocial behaviour

😔 Worry about your dog’s stress levels and even quality of life, but not sure how best to support them

😔 Have tried various approaches without success or would just like ongoing support and accountability

😔 Find yourself feeling guilty – even resentful – when you think “this is not what I signed up for”

Each week you’ll join a LIVE online class where we’ll go over an area of focus for the week, along with specific exercises to implement and time for questions. A complete tutorial library is included (you’ll have access for one year) and you can submit videos for personalized feedback between classes.

Doors open only a few times a year so to get priority access to a spot.

THE MEMBERSHIP

Both the private and group programs provide a detailed roadmap to addressing reactivity, but the truth is that it takes time to implement and hone those skills and I realized that students could really increase their chance of success with ongoing support. So I launched a monthly membership to offer a supportive and encouraging community, be able to share guidance and expertise as their journey with their dog progresses and evolves. Member benefits include 2 monthly coaching calls, a monthly office hours where they can drop in with their questions and a private online community where they can find more resources and connect with and support others dealing with similar challenges.
