A Step-by-Step How To Guide For Dog Reactivity

A Step-by-Step How To Guide For Dog Reactivity
Walk Your Dog Without Fear, Stress & Anxiety With A Proven System Built From 20 Years of Experience, Focused on You

It's easy to think that online training couldn't possibly work. But here's the truth. Most trainers focus on training the dog. Instead of focusing on you. So when the trainer isn't around, your dog starts to falls right back into the chaos. My system fixes that. I teach you the exact step-by-step skills, and daily habits to transform everything, from the ground, up. Once you change, your dog has no choice but to follow.

 ''THE MOST AMAZING THING HAPPENED THIS MORNING!! I have been doing the online membership for the past 4 months mostly to work on my dogs walking on the lead and his lead reactivity (which was really bad!!). Within 2 days my dog was walking on the lead better than the 2 years I had been trying to bribe him with treats to walk beside me. In the meantime I had been working on other skills from the course and just strengthening the leadership relationship with my dog. I had just started the reactivity section but hadn't had a chance to practice yet. As he is walking sooo well on the lead now I decided to take a risk and walk a path we normally always avoid as there are other dogs. We walked past 2 dogs (on the other side of the road) and he did not react AT ALL!!!! I cannot explain how happy and grateful I am for everything you do and share. I just had him in a heel and kept calm, he saw them, got a little excited but just looked back at me and then kept walking.

I truly never thought we would get to this point, and without doing any real reactivity work, just working on the foundations and my relationship with my dog. Thank you thank you thank you!!!'

Does this sound Familiar? 

​​

👎You're walking with a ticking time bomb - ready to see a dog and explode

👎Walks are a constant battle, being pulled and ignored

👎You absolutely dread the sight of another dog and the anxiety it causes

👎You walk first thing in the morning and last thing at night to avoid dogs at all costs

👎You have tried everything and nothing seems to work

👎You are confused with all the contradicting information out there

​​

If you've been struggling, it's not your fault.

The longer these problems go on, the worse they get and the more frustrated you feel. You are not alone in this. Not even a tiny bit.

They All Felt the Same as YOU

Dog walks don't have to feel like a bomb is about to go off any second. 

When you think of taking your dog out for a walk... how do you feel? Tense, anxious and probably panicked, and that's before you even step outside... forget about when you see another dog!

​

You see, to be honest, dog training isn't really about the dog.

IT'S ABOUT YOU.

YOU CAN DISARM THE BOMB (DOG)

​

For the past 20 years I have been training the human behind the dog.

  • Learning all the bad habits we have.

  • Learning all the bits we think are important, but aren't.

  • Learning all the bits we think aren't important, but are!

  • Learning all the ways how dogs become reactive.

  • Learning even more ways that the owners (you, sorry) make them reactive.

In a nutshell, I have studied the dog and the human, testing and perfecting what works, what doesn't, allowing me to create the system that I personally use everyday.

AND NOW I'VE PUT IT INTO THIS COURSE.

​

So what is this system. Well it's very simple and can be covered in a few sentences.

Whatever we say, we then do (following through)

 

We lead with the energy we want the dog to be (usually calm)

 

If we are correcting, does your dog look corrected?

 

We proactively train, not reactively train.

 

So what does all the mean???

​

"Whatever we say, we then do (following through)" - If I say I’ll meet you at the pub every week at 6pm, and I’m always there on time with your drink, you’ll trust my word. But if I’m late or don’t show, soon my promise means nothing. That’s what happens with our dogs, we repeat commands without following through, so they learn to ignore us. I teach you how to stop this.

 

"We lead with the energy we want the dog to be (usually calm)" - If your child ran in panicking, you’d calm them with slow, soft words, leading with the calm energy you want them to follow. But if you joined their panic and hyperventilated too, it would only escalate. That’s exactly what we do with our dogs... and it’s madness. I'll teach you how to stop doing this.

 

"If we are correcting, does your dog look corrected?" - If you told your child off and they didn’t care, the lesson wouldn’t land and they’d never learn right from wrong. That’s what happens with our dogs too. Most owners don’t correct properly, so bad behaviours grow, frustration builds, and outbursts get worse Again, I'll teach you how to stop this dead in it's tracks.

​

"We proactively train, not reactively train" - When you try to stop your dog’s bad behaviour in the heat of the moment, panic takes over and chaos erupts. That’s daily life for many owners. The fix? Set up simple, controlled sessions that tackle each issue step by step, and simply accept the uncontrolled scenarios for what they are... uncontrolled and out of our current skill set... until we are ready for them. I'll teach you how to do all of this step-by-step as well as when you're ready to do it anytime and anywhere.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The aim of my training has always been to teach you what to do and how to do it. To make YOU the leader, nothing else. When you become the leader, you can do anything with your dog. Until that point, you're just bribing, begging, avoiding or panicking.

Common Sense - Not Jargon

Why do "experts" talk in complicated jargon? It drives me mad. I want anyone and everyone to be able to understand without having to have a PHD in dog psychology and training. I teach in simple, plain english.

​

Hard Earned Experience

I've trained people and their dogs for 20 years. A lot of those dogs were incredibly difficult to train (and so were some of the people - just being honest here!). Those years have taught me what works and what doesn't - consistently. Across the board. For the dog and for you.

​

Right From Wrong

Since when did we all go insane? When did it suddenly become a terrible thing to actually simply teach right from wrong. To actually correct bad behaviour, and reward good behaviour. Not just throw chicken at every issue, and begging and pleading with your dog to listen. If you want to take back control, it's not rocket science. I can teach you.

 

Actual Step-by-Step

I've bought lots of courses myself. All promising Step-by-Step, only to miss out 7 steps! I will not leave you hanging, whilst learning from a video and thinking, "but how do I do that bit he just did there?"

Absolutely, everything, is truly Step-by-Step.

 

A Community Of People Like You

You can here this a lot these days... "Join a community of people just like you!" *Insert cheesy grin and jazz hands*. But the truth is, everyone on my online platform is working through or has worked through dog reactivity. In all its different forms. So they really are like you (they also thought they couldn't fix it)

 

I'm Teaching & Guiding You

Here's a secret that shouldn't be a secret. Dog Training is NOT about training the dog. It's actually about teaching you. If I just train your dog, your dog will to respond to me, and not erupt at other dogs when I have them. Great! They will still ignore you and erupt at dogs with you though! So what's the point? So I teach you, step-by-step, on what actually makes the difference between your dog not kicking off and listening to you, and the utter chaos you are probably experiencing right now.

​

We Will Work On What Matters

If you had a friend, a really close friend, that constantly promised lots of things and barely ever delivered. Or another way of saying it would be to say, they never followed through. Would you trust their word? Listen to their advice or instruction with confidence? Neither will your dog. So I focus on getting you to be the person that follows through on what they say to their dog. The little things count.
