Having a reactive dog can be stressful and isolating. Whether it’s the constant worry of leash reactivity, avoiding certain environments, or struggling to enjoy walks, managing these behaviours can be stressful and Frustrating.

Your dog might:

- Feel out of control on walks

- Bark & lunge at people, dogs, or moving objects

- Try to run from every noise or passing distraction

- Make you feel isolated and stressed

We understand that reactive behaviour often stems from fear and not aggression. Aggression has intent to harm, while reactivity is driven by fear and high arousal and not intent to do harm.

We provide tailored behavioural training plans to help shift your dog’s emotional reactions, so walks can become more enjoyable, and you can confidently navigate your dog’s triggers.

With the right tools, understanding, and support, we can help you build your dog’s confidence and work on their reactivity, so you can enjoy stress-free walks and a stronger relationship with your dog.

Resource guarding is a natural behaviour where dogs protect items they value, such as food, toys, or even certain spaces. This instinct can show up in different ways, like growling, snapping, or even biting when someone gets too close to the guarded resource. While it’s normal for dogs to want to safeguard what’s important to them, resource guarding can cause issues when it leads to aggression or disrupts the peace in your home.

To address resource guarding, it’s essential to understand its underlying causes and apply effective training strategies. We can provide a tailored behaviour training plan and ongoing support to help you manage and help reduce this behaviour using positive reinforcement methods.
