Reactivity Reset (Old)

Terrific Teen 1920 × 1080 px

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.

Reactivity 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.  I know that with the right skills and mindset you can rediscover a stress-free and joyful life together.

LET ME SHOW YOU HOW.

About the 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. If she was in the car I worried she could go right through the windshield.

This was in the spring of 2000. Before Google was a household word, before social media. I had been training for a few years already but I wasn’t equipped to deal with this. There weren’t even many trainers who worked with this type of behaviour in a positive way. There was NO HELP.

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 more people.

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

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

It was also important to me to make the calibre of help previously only available to my private clients accessible to more people and dogs so am really excited to now offer Reactivity Reset at 3 different levels to suit a wider range of budgets.

What my clients say!

When my son brought his 8 week old puppy over to my home and my dog lunged at him, I knew that there was a serious issue that needed to be addressed. I immediately got in contact with Caroline and we started working on the problem right away. Caroline offered tips, pointers and tools that allowed me to feel in control and allowed my dog to feel safe. Now, 4 months later I can proudly say that I have seen massive improvements in my dog and his temperament. No longer does he bark at other dogs, nor does he growl when my sons dog comes near. I am both glad and grateful for having had Caroline’s guidance and expertise through these times.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

He thrived and grew but started to exhibit behaviours not unlike a feral street dog. When our rescue Kaalan became territorial and aggressive with other dogs and started biting us, along came Caroline. She interpreted his behaviour for me and patiently worked through positive reinforcement techniques with us. Kaalan loved when she came for “school” and responded very quickly to the exercises she gave us. I invested a lot in treats. I am consistent with all of Caroline’s techniques. In just one month our life together has drastically improved. I know his limits and respect him and in turn he looks to me now when we are about to enter a situation he is not comfortable with. Priceless.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jessica and Kaalan
Caroline is incredibly knowledgeable and is a great facilitator and teacher. Her expertise and skills with fostering better communication with our dog was incredibly valuable. We came away with many wins due to the way that she builds up to various concepts and reinforces skills throughout her lessons. We highly recommend working with her and are grateful to have found her!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lisa East and Ruby
Caroline is the BEST. She helped us through some leash reactivity across several sessions. Like any good trainer, she trained us as humans to be better able to support our pup. We are forever grateful and will call on her again for any training needs in the future.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jasmine Ferreira and Rey
My experience with Caroline at Raising Rover has been amazing. She worked with my dog Lucy and I over a couple months assisting with leash reactivity. Caroline exceeded my expectations. She has incredible knowledge of dogs and psychology, and clearly has a lot of experience in helping dog owners through a number of training needs. Caroline really cares about her work as well as the people and dogs she is helping. She explains things extremely well, understands the learning process, and offers practical and effective guidance. While I initially engaged Caroline to help with a specific challenge, I ended up learning much more. Caroline helped me better understand Lucy’s behaviour and needs; she taught me how to better read her body language and the environment; and she helped train Lucy while also teaching me how to train Lucy. As a result, Lucy more consistently responds to commands, and I am more confident with my skills and toolkit going forward.

Sarah Crawford and Lucy
My dog, Beau, had been through basic obedience training. But at 2 years old, I was finding him generally reactive on leash, both to strangers and to certain dogs. After trying all the techniques I had learned in our puppy classes, I hit a wall. I was becoming more nervous when we walked, feeling like I needed to be hyper-vigilant all the time and to notice anything Beau might react to before he did.

I reached out to Caroline and with one quick session, she restored my confidence in both myself and Beau. Caroline equipped me with clear techniques and followed-up with detailed notes we used to practice. And she reassured me that I was already doing well, I just needed to finesse some of my techniques. I noticed a huge change in Beau during the very next walk. We began enjoying longer walks, with less pulling, better focus and far less reactivity. I also feel like we developed a stronger bond as Beau seems more confident and he looks to me now instead of reacting.

Caroline was warm, patient, clear and available. It really felt like she approached me and Beau as a unique case, rather than following a rinse-and-repeat formula. I felt that her assessment and advice were highly personalized for both me and Beau and that she really cared about setting us both up for long-term success.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Caroline for any challenge you’re having with your dog, whether it’s a minor tweak or a major correction!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jane and Beau
This course provides a combination of online group sessions, one-on-one meetings and access to an impressive library of videos and materials that the course leader, Caroline, has compiled. You will also come away with an enhanced perception of how a dog thinks and responds to situations , and how to motivate and manage your dog with respect. Caroline is articulate, and inspiring.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nancy Riley and Max
When my 4 yr old dog started to show signs of reactivity I was at a loss how to handle him. After working with Caroline and taking the Reactivity Reset course Bob(the dog) is much calmer, likely because I am calmer and I am confident how to cope with whatever challenges we meet on our walks.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Carol Gray and Bob
We took the reactivity reset course with Caroline for our pup Joon. The lessons provided a structure in our training that we didn't realize was missing. Also, it was reassuring to work with Caroline who empathized with us & provided guidance for understanding Joon's behavioral nuances. Overall the course equipped us with better understanding of our dog's reactivity & taught us how to navigate it, without feeling defeated or overwhelmed.
