🐾 Congratulations to Our Reactive Dog Course Graduates! 🐾
Over the past few weeks, these dogs and their humans have worked incredibly hard learning new skills, building confidence, and creating calmer, more positive experiences around other dogs and distractions.
Reactive dogs are not "bad" dogs.
Many are simply overwhelmed, worried, frustrated, or over-excited, and need support to learn different ways of coping with the world around them.
Throughout the course we focused on:
✅ Building engagement and focus around distractions
✅ Understanding why reactive behaviours happen
✅ Improving handler confidence and timing
✅ Developing calmness and emotional regulation
✅ Creating practical skills for real-life walks
The transformation isn't about dogs sitting perfectly still or never reacting again.
It's about giving both dog and owner the tools to make better choices, feel more confident, and enjoy life together.
I'm incredibly proud of every team who took part. The commitment shown by both dogs and owners has been wonderful to see.
Well done Jerry Lee, Maisie, Raisin and Sooty – you've all been stars. ⭐
A huge thank you to Laura at Perfect Puppies for working so hard with me to deliver this course. It has been wonderful combining our experience and supporting owners as a team. Collaboration between local trainers allows us to offer dogs and their families the best possible support, and I am truly grateful for Laura's expertise and support throughout the programme.
If you have a dog that barks, lunges, pulls, fixates or struggles around other dogs, you're not alone, and things can improve with the right support.
