Built for reactive dog owners who aren’t living the life they imagined with their dog.
Over eight weeks, you’ll build the control, neutrality and recall you need to walk past dogs calmly, handle real-world distractions and give your dog safe off-lead freedom.
You’ll receive a personalised training plan, weekly coaching and direct feedback throughout the programme. Online coaching is available worldwide, with hands-on sessions available for owners in the Lancashire area.
It’s when the real world turns up that the training disappears and every walk starts revolving around what might go wrong.
Jinx had spent much of her life in kennels, been through two previous homes and had a bite history. She is now trained for reliable off-lead freedom and can enjoy the life she was previously unable to cope with.
Siva had already worked with multiple trainers, but his reactivity had reached the point where his owner could barely walk him. He can now walk calmly around dogs and enjoy reliable off-lead freedom.
Daisy was a highly reactive Doberman who would explode whenever another dog appeared. She can now walk past dogs calmly and enjoy off-lead freedom.
Most owners who work with me aren’t starting from scratch.
They’ve already watched the videos, attended classes, hired trainers, bought courses and tried different methods. The problem usually isn’t a lack of effort or information.
It’s knowing what their dog needs first, how to apply the training when the real world turns up and when they’re genuinely ready to progress.
A trainer might be able to take the lead and improve the behaviour during a session.
But unless you understand what changed and can repeat it yourself, that result disappears when you go home.
“The goal isn’t a dog who looks good when the trainer holds the lead. It’s giving you the control to reproduce the result.”
We begin by understanding your dog, why the current training keeps falling apart and what needs your attention first. You then follow the complete five-stage system with direct support applying it in real life.
We look at your dog’s history, routine, triggers, motivation and previous training, then establish exactly where you need to begin.
Create motivation, play and productive engagement you can use outside.
Give your dog a consistent language for rewards, boundaries and expectations.
Build control on the lead, impulse control, recall foundations and appropriate outlets.
Take the foundations into the places where your current control disappears.
Cement the training around real distractions so you can open your dog’s world safely.

Work with me face to face on the fylde coast. A good fit if you are local to Lancashire or happy to travel for hands-on sessions, alongside the full programme support.
The full programme delivered remotely, with the same clear route, feedback, and access to support. Video review means I can see the dog you live with, in the environments where the work matters.
Thousands spent on trainers and behaviourists with no results to off-lead freedom, pub visits and walking past dogs calmly.
From exploding at every dog to walking past 50 dogs in one walk!
From avoiding the world to walking past dogs calmly and even relaxing at cafes.
From severe dog and car reactivity to camping trips and off-lead freedom
If you follow your plan, practise consistently, use the coaching and submit your footage, I’ll stand behind the progress we’re working to create together.
Where Do the In-Person Sessions Take Place?
Sessions take place across the Fylde Coast and surrounding areas in locations chosen for your dog's needs and current stage of training.
We may begin somewhere quieter before progressing into parks, streets and other real-world environments.
Do I Have to Use a Prong Collar or E-Collar?
Not every dog receives identical equipment or begins in the same place.
Recommendations are based on the dog’s behaviour, physical strength, training history, goals and current level of control.
E-collar work may be used when building reliable recall and safe off-lead freedom. Any equipment must be introduced properly before it is used around difficult distractions.
This is a balanced training programme. Rewards, play and motivation are central to the process, but so are clear boundaries and fair consequences.
If you are completely opposed to considering those methods, the programme will not be the right fit.
What If My Dog Won’t Take Food or Play Outside?
That is extremely common with reactive and highly aroused dogs.
We look at how food or play has been introduced, whether the environment is too difficult, which movement or reward the dog prefers and what other outlets may hold value.
Building engagement is the first stage because many dogs cannot initially use food or play around real distractions.
How Much Time Will I Need to Commit?
As a general target, you should be prepared to train for approximately 20 minutes twice per day.
However, this does not mean every session must become an additional major task.
Where possible, we look at how to include the work within normal walks, play sessions and everyday routines.
Consistency matters more than occasionally completing one enormous session.
What Happens After the Eight Weeks?
You keep access to the training resources and leave with a clear progression plan showing you what to maintain, what still needs proofing and how to continue building reliability and freedom.
Will I Need To Buy Equipment?
Most likely, yes. You may need to buy some equipment as part of the programme.
However, do not rush out and buy anything before you join. Once I have assessed your dog and understood your situation, I will tell you exactly what is worth getting, what to avoid and how to use it properly.
The right equipment depends on the dog, the behaviour we are working on and what you need to achieve. Any recommendations will be specific to you, rather than a generic shopping list.
Can online coaching really work for a reactive dog?
Absolutely. Through your training footage, I can see exactly what is happening, identify where things are going wrong and tell you what needs adjusting.
For online coaching to work, you need to follow your personalised training plan, practise consistently, send me footage and attend the weekly coaching calls. You also need to apply the feedback I give you between sessions.
If you can commit to those things, I am confident we can make this work for you.
What happens during the free call?
The free call is simply a chance for us to talk about your dog, what you are currently struggling with and what you would like life together to look like.
We will work out whether the programme is right for you and whether online coaching or in-person training would be the better fit.
There is no hard sell. I only want to work with people who genuinely want to work with me, and I am not going to try to convince you to join if the programme is not right for you.
Tell me what’s happening with your dog, what you’ve already tried and what you want everyday life to look like instead. We’ll work out whether the programme is right for you.
