Is your dog lunging, barking, or becoming anxious around other dogs? You're not alone—and your dog isn't aggressive. They're reactive, and that's something we can work with.

Reactive Rover is our 6-week group program specifically designed for dogs who struggle around other dogs. In a safe, controlled environment, you'll learn:

• Canine body language - recognise stress signals before reactions happen
• Management techniques - keep your dog under threshold
• Handling skills - communicate confidence to your dog
• Distance work - build positive associations gradually
• Real-world strategies - navigate walks with confidence

Safe Environment We work at carefully managed distances with barriers and space. Your dog won't be forced into close contact before they're ready.

Experienced Guidance Our trainers specialise in reactivity and understand the fear, frustration, or over-arousal behind the behaviour.

Support Network You'll meet other owners facing the same challenges. You're not alone in this journey.

Force-Free Methods No punishment, corrections, or intimidation. We build confidence, not fear.

• Dogs who bark, lunge, or pull towards other dogs
• Dogs who become anxious or stressed around other dogs
• Dogs who are over-excited and can't calm down near dogs
• Owners who want to walk their dog without stress

Not every problem happens on walks. Some behaviours need individual attention in your own environment—or a more flexible, personalised approach.

Behaviour consults are one-on-one sessions tailored specifically to your dog and your family's needs. We work together to understand what's happening and create a practical plan that fits your life.

• Reactivity to people or dogs (at home or on walks)
• Separation anxiety and destructive behaviour
• Jumping on people or furniture
• Toilet training troubles
• Excessive barking or whining
• Resource guarding (food, toys, spaces)
• Fear and anxiety issues
• Leash pulling and walk frustrations
• Mouthing and nipping
• Any behaviour causing stress in your home

Personalised Attention Every dog and every family is different. We create a plan specific to your situation—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Flexible Scheduling Your schedule doesn't fit group classes? Consults work around your availability.

See the Environment Many behaviours are location-specific. Working in your home (or on location) lets us see exactly what's triggering the behaviour.

Faster Progress One-on-one attention means faster assessment, clearer communication, and tailored solutions.

Ongoing Support We don't just give you a plan and disappear. We're here for follow-up support as you implement changes.

Living with problem behaviours is exhausting. The embarrassment on walks. The anxiety when visitors come. The guilt when you feel frustrated with your dog. We get it. And we're here to help lift that weight.

Problem behaviours often stem from fear, anxiety, or confusion. Punishment makes these worse. Our positive, science-based methods address the root cause and build better behaviours through understanding and reward.

Our trainers have worked with hundreds of dogs with problem behaviours—from mild reactivity to severe anxiety. We've seen it, worked through it, and helped families come out the other side.

We won't promise overnight miracles. Behaviour change takes time, consistency, and patience. But we will give you the tools, support, and guidance to create lasting change.

The isolation of problem behaviours is real. Whether through Reactive Rover's supportive group or personalised consult support, you'll finally have someone in your corner who understands.

No. We've worked with dogs across the spectrum of problem behaviours. If you're willing to put in the work, we're here to guide you.

Every dog is different. Some make dramatic changes; others improve but need ongoing management. Our goal is progress and quality of life—for both you and your dog.

Behaviour change isn't linear. Some dogs show improvement quickly; others take months. We'll be honest about realistic timelines based on your specific situation.

Force-free methods work differently than traditional "correction-based" training. Many dogs who didn't respond to punishment-based methods thrive with positive approaches.

Never. We use only force-free, positive reinforcement methods. No pain, fear, or intimidation.

Aggression is a serious concern. We'll assess whether we can safely work with your dog or if referral to a veterinary behaviourist is needed. Safety is always our priority.

You don't have to live with the stress anymore. Whether your dog needs the structured support of Reactive Rover or the personalised attention of a behaviour consult, we're here to help.

Contact us and we'll discuss your dog's specific behaviours and recommend the best path forward. No judgment, no pressure—just honest guidance.
