The Reactivity Roadmap - Finding Your Footing

If you’ve tried everything and your dog is still reactive, it’s time to stop guessing and start understanding. This time saving course gives you the missing piece: a solution specific to your dog’s unique needs.
With Barbara Paterson, PhD & Julia Hawkins, MSc
- Are walks stressful because your dog lunges, barks, or freezes?
- Do you feel judged, frustrated, or even hopeless about your dog’s behavior?
- Are you worried that you’re making things worse without realizing it?
You’re not alone. Many reactive dog owners struggle because they’ve been given generic advice that doesn’t consider why their dog reacts the way they do.
The truth? Reactivity isn’t just a training issue—it’s an emotional and biological response. And to truly help your dog, you need to address it at the root. With a training plan based on your dog's needs.
This isn't just another training course. It’s a customised solution for your unique dog.
- Learn why your dog reacts and how to stop making it worse.
- Discover what actually works for your dog’s unique personality.
- Get a customized plan that creates real, lasting change.
- Reduce frustration and feel more confident and in control.
Each module builds your knowledge and skills, step by step:
- Understanding Reactivity – so you can respond with confidence instead of frustration.
- Your Dog’s Unique Reactivity Profile – so you address the root cause. With a customised approach, you stop wasting time on methods that don’t work.
- The SHAPES Framework – so you have a clear, structured approach to help your dog feel safer, more confident, and less reactive. No more guesswork—just a proven system that supports lasting change.
- Essential Tools & Strategies – Practical steps to start reducing reactivity right away.
- Bonus: Downloadable guides and real-world exercises to help you take action immediately!
This course is perfect for you if:
- You have a reactive dog who struggles with barking, lunging, or anxiety.
- You want to understand what’s happening before diving into training.

What our students say:
"What do I love about training with Barbara and Julia? Well ... the No Harm philosophy; the support from them and the group; the sincerity and care; the evidence-based outlook; the appreciation of different needs both human and canine; the structured, practical approach; the quality of the resources; the level of dedication given to the group and individually... and mostly the way it has helped me deepen my connection with my lovely boy" Adrienne
"I have tools I needed, didn't know I needed, and a voice for my dog that I didn't know how to use. We have come a long way with your guidance, and the exceptional course materials. I would have no problem recommending your course to anyone. And I have taken several other reactivity courses, so I had a lot of knowledge, but not exactly the right knowledge. When I said the results almost seem magical, I meant that. You two women have done a phenomenal job with a lot of love and passion. My dog and I have a better life now. And really, I had the courage to go ahead and get another puppy without the fear that I would "break my dog" and cause it to be reactive. I didn't cause Tikaani's reactivity, but I now have tools for us to live a full life with her being dog reactive." Angela
"Can't recommend enough! It's been a brilliant time for both me and Heidi, she's come such a long way in such a short amount of time. Heidi was really reactive towards other dogs and it was really hard to bring her out of play mode. The techniques Julia taught me really helped to calm Heidi down and keep her focus on me, she's gone from turning into a merry go round on her lead whenever she sees another dog to just watching them and coming straight back when she's called. I can't wait to see the progress as I carry on with what we've learned."
Liam and Heidi
"Not at all like other reactivity courses and that's a compliment. I'm both delighted and surprised in the discoveries. Thank you so much. Sending lots of gratitude" Windee
"I've always had Siberian Huskies, who are over confident dogs. Sage is my first herding breed, and I found myself in very deep water when she starting over-reacting to other dogs, sounds and changes in environment. I was initially given some bad advice to reprimand her for her over reactions, which instantly made it much worse. Barbara gave me many many tools to recognise Sage's discomfort early, and to help her through uncomfortable situations in a kind and fair way. She still has a long way to go, but her improvement and progress is steady, and I'm enjoying outings with her again. I wish EVERYONE with dogs would do this course!"
