Why Reactivity Reboot is Your Next Step

Living with a reactive dog brings its own set of unique challenges and emotional journeys. Your dog may be anxious, fearful, easily stressed or over excited. Yet, amidst the trials lies an unbreakable bond and love between you and your dog. You're seeking a better way and you are looking for clear guidance, support, and a community that gets it. But it feels like you are navigating a maze without a map.

Tailored Support for Real Change:
This isn't just a course; it's a pathway designed with your unique journey in mind. Reactivity Reboot bridges the gap between struggle and transformation, offering you personalized support every step of the way.

Built on Trust and Compassion:
Our program is rooted in understanding and genuine care. We believe in building trust, fostering compassion, and celebrating every victory with you.

Comprehensive Guidance:
From the first step outside your comfort zone to every challenge along the way, we're here to guide you. Our program is more than just learning; it's about applying what you learn in the real world.

Why Start Now?
The longer reactivity is left unaddressed, the more it can escalate, impacting both your dog's emotional health and your own.

What our previous students say:

"I cannot recommend Julia highly enough. She just understands dogs and what makes them tick - helping them to learn to make good choices through play. She is also that rare find amongst dog trainers - she is good with people too!! :-)" Craig and Bean

"Working with Barbara changed my life! I learned what my dogs really need is purposeful quality time with me, rather than unlimited freedom, which actually means leaving them to their own devices. My dogs are now so much calmer around other dogs, and so I am more relaxed and able to enjoy myself in my own free time together with my dogs."
Anneli, Neelsie & Phoebe

"8 weeks ago I had a hyper-reactive, just really a full of beans big fur ball of a dog. He would pull like anything on a lead when going out for walks, he just wouldn’t ever settle at home always taking things he shouldn’t and just not finding his comfort at home like he did when he was a pup. now 8 weeks later our boy is just calm, he has his chill zone and knows to ignore distractions!" Nicole and Rocky

"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

"I understand my dogs much better who used to fight at home. I now feel no longer nervous but confident, because I can read my dogs' body language and I can diffuse any potentially tense situation before it erupts in a fight." Chané, Zara and Talia

"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!"
Leanne & Sage
