Day 8 of 30. Sometimes you let it happen. Sometimes you step in. Sometimes you just hope for the best.

That inconsistency isn’t just failing to fix the problem. It’s actively making it worse.

A dog that gets to rehearse a behaviour sometimes, but not always, will fight harder for it than a dog who’s never been allowed to do it at all. You’re not being lenient. You’re building a gambler.

The behaviour needs a consistent response, every single time. And that response needs to actually land. Not just pulling them away. Something that tells your dog clearly that this is off the cards.

Tomorrow I’m going into exactly what that looks like. Follow along.

Raise your hand if you’ve had a great training session and then completely dropped the ball for the rest of the week.

Day 7 of 30 — consistency isn’t about finding more time. It’s about using the moments you already have. The bowl going down. The walk out the front door. The five minutes in the backyard before dinner. Those moments are happening every single day whether you’re intentional about them or not. The question is whether you’re using them or wasting them.

Your dog’s brain is making connections all day long. A one-hour session once a week doesn’t outweigh the other 167 hours. But small, repeated, intentional moments? That’s what actually stacks up.

Save this as a reminder & hit follow, this is going to be the best 30 days of Free advice to help you with your reactive dog.

Life gets in the way. A busy week, a late finish at work, a weekend where you just want to switch off. Before you know it two days have passed, then three, and the training gets pushed to the side. The good intentions are there. But good intentions don’t change a reactive dog.

Bootcamp removes all of that. Monday to Friday, nothing gets missed, nothing slips through the cracks, and the distractions of real life don’t get a look in. I coach, you train, you both win. Your dog gets consistent effort and clear communication every single day. You get to focus on nothing but your dog.

And that’s when it clicks.

Emma came in with Lyla locked on, lunging, too strong to handle, and walks that felt completely out of control. By the end of the week she had Lyla off lead in a busy area with other dogs around, recalling, confident, and completely transformed.

Her words? “It wasn’t so much Lyla. It was me. Me being able to help her.”

That’s what bootcamp does. The bond grows, the trust goes through the roof, and you walk away knowing you can actually do this.

Day 6 of 30. The same walk, the same route, the same triggers, twice a day on a short lead. You’re not just walking your dog. You’re rehearsing the problem, and every single rep makes it harder to undo.

I know a lot of you will say you live in the city or you don’t have a yard. I get it. But this spot took me 35 minutes to drive to, and it was worth every single minute there and back. Surely there is an empty park, a field, somewhere you can take your dog and just let them be a dog for a couple of weeks while you get your foundations in. No triggers. No explosions. Just you and your dog actually enjoying each other.

Stop rehearsing the problem. Take the pressure off. Time to change the routine.

30 Days of Reactivity Tips — Day 4

Before we even think about taking a reactive dog outside, we need to get it right inside the house first.

That is why the first three days of this series have all been about what happens at home. There is a reason for that.

A dog that is calm and settled inside, in a familiar environment with no extra distractions, is going to be in a completely different headspace to a dog that has spent the morning barging at the front door, barking at the courier, launching at the window every time the neighbour walks past, and startling at every noise in the house.

That is reactivity. It is just happening at home, and most people do not realise it.

Every time your dog rehearses that behaviour, it gets stronger. The barking at the window. The charging at the door. The spinning and losing it at any sound. Whatever gets practised gets reinforced. So before we can build new habits, we have to stop practising the old ones.

This is where a crate or a tether becomes one of the most powerful tools you have. Not as punishment. Not as a timeout. As a way to make your dog’s world smaller and quieter so their nervous system can actually switch off. A dog that is in a crate or on a tether is not rehearsing the reaction. They are resting. And a dog that is resting is moving out of fight-or-flight and into a state where they can actually think, listen, and learn.

Get it right inside the house first. Then take it outside.

Follow along for the rest of the 30 days.

No one could get near her dog. Not family. Not me, no one. If anyone got close, he’d bark and sometimes try to bite. She just wanted him to feel safe, and to be able to socialise and have him with her.

On Monday, if anything appeared on the horizon, if a leaf blew, Digby kicked off! Walked past their car, explosion. If it moved, Digby kicked off!

Her world got smaller and smaller. No visitors. No cafes, even family she lived with copped the barking explosion every time they moved around in the house.

That’s what a reactive dog actually costs you, not just the barking, your whole life shrinks around it.
And it’s not because he’s a bad dog, he just didn’t know how else to act. He thought he was keeping them both safe. It took a huge emotional toll on them both.

This is them at the end of Bootcamp. A Monday to Friday transformation.

By Friday she was sitting in a busy cafe, Digby either beside her, chilling on the ground, or having a cuddle, other dogs walking past. A bus load of school kids, plus all of us! Something that was genuinely impossible five days earlier.

She got teary telling me about it. Not because the barking stopped. Because she got her life back, but most importantly, her little guy felt better! Not anxious and thinking he had to save them.

This isn’t about having the “easy” dog or the right breed. It’s about having a process that actually works, and being willing to put the work in for five days to get years of your life back.

If your dog has taken over your world, and they feel anxious at every turn, and you don’t know what to do, this is what’s possible. This is bootcamp.

I’m getting messages from these guys a week after bootcamp, no more barking at the workmen at the farm, and no more chasing cars trying to bite the wheels! This is life changing.

Day 3. If your dog can blow you off at home, in a settled, familiar environment, why would they listen to you next to another dog? You’re expecting the hardest version of listening without ever building the easy version.

Following through matters more than the environment you’re in. The simple, everyday stuff, being asked once and actually doing it, is where it starts. If your dog can ignore you for that, they’ll ignore you for everything else too.

Build it at home first. Then it’ll show up when you actually need it.

Follow along, I’m giving 30 days of tips. Things that I see a lot of people doing wrong, and making their reactive dog worse, but more importantly, I’m showing you the easy fix! No catch..

Day 2. FOOD! Don’t waste it!

Don’t waste this valuable motivation tool by dumping it in a bowl each day.

Use it as a reward currency! Dogs will do what gets them a better outcome, so pay them well for things you want to see more of. Who does anything if you don’t get paid?

If aren’t following, hit the follow, I’m sharing a tip a day for the next 30 days!
