Specialist support, built on safety

Reactivity and serious behaviour concerns can feel overwhelming. Whether your dog lunges, guards or reacts strongly to people or other dogs, our Reactivity & Behaviour Concerns program provides specialist support built on safety, behaviour therapy and positive reinforcement.

What makes our training different?

Not every trainer takes on serious cases. We do. We have years of experience helping dogs through fear, resource guarding, territorial issues and frustration. Every case is unique, so we build a customised, safety-first training plan around your dog’s specific triggers and your household.

How it works

Step 1 · Reactivity & Behaviour Concerns Assessment (90 min, in-home)

Your first session is a Reactivity & Behaviour Concerns Assessment where we evaluate your dog’s history, triggers and stressors, and begin training immediately. If you buy a package within 24 hours of this session, the fee is credited toward it.

Step 2 · Specialist training lessons (1 hr each)

Ongoing lessons are tailored to your dog’s needs, focusing on safety, calm responses and practical management strategies at home and in public.

What is included

  • Comprehensive assessmentuncovering triggers and underlying causes
  • Tailored training planstrategies for fear, guarding, territoriality, frustration and more
  • Safety and management protocolstools like muzzles, leads and barriers to keep everyone safe while progress is made
