Struggling to manage your
reactive dog on walks?
Lunging at everything
Your dog lunges at other dogs, bikes, joggers, or anything that catches their eye, making every walk feel unpredictable.
Constant lead pulling
They’re always pulling on the lead, no matter how many times you stop, start, or redirect them.
Barking at every trigger
They bark uncontrollably at the slightest trigger. Leaving you feeling embarrassed and helpless.
Ignoring commands
No matter how often you call their name or use treats, your dog won’t listen to you.
Overreacting to everything
Every sound, sight, movement or new environment seems to send them into an overexcited or anxious frenzy.
Jumping up
They’re constantly pacing, zigzagging, or they always jump up on you or others during walks, unable to focus or stay calm during the walk.

Overwhelmed by your reactive dog on walks? You're not alone.
Feeling embarrassed and isolated
You dread walking your dog in public, worried about how others will judge you when your dog barks, lunges, or pulls. You may even avoid social situations and parks, feeling isolated and alone in your struggle.
Exhausted after every walk
Every walk leaves you physically and mentally drained, constantly managing your dog’s reactivity. The anxiety and stress of anticipating the next outburst make each walk feel like a high-stakes situation.
Frustrated and defeated
Despite your best efforts, it feels like nothing is working. You wonder if things will ever improve, leaving you frustrated and unsure of how to move forward.
Dreading the next walk
The thought of the next walk fills you with anxiety and overwhelm. Instead of looking forward to bonding with your dog, you’re already bracing for another stressful experience.

Frequently asked questions
How will this free course help my reactive dog on walks?
This course provides proven strategies to help manage your dog's reactivity during walks. By focusing on small, easy-to-implement changes, you'll learn how to reduce your dog’s barking, lunging, and pulling. The course will guide you through effective techniques that help improve focus and build trust, creating calmer and more enjoyable walks for both you and your dog. Whether you're dealing with aggression, fear-based reactivity, or an overly excitable dog that jumps up on walks, at you or others, you'll find helpful tips that work for your unique situation.
Do I need any special equipment or training tools for this course?
No, you don't need any special equipment to get started with this free course. All you need is a standard lead, a collar or harness, and your willingness to follow the steps laid out in the course. We focus on behaviour modification and trust-based techniques, using consistent practice to create real changes.
Does this course use prong collars, e-collars, or other aversive tools?
No, this course does not use any aversive tools such as prong collars, e-collars, choke chains, or any methods that rely on fear or punishment. We use humane, science-based methods that focus on building trust and positive reinforcement rather than fear or intimidation. Correctional tools can cause unnecessary stress, fear, and even harm to your dog, which can worsen reactivity and damage your relationship.
Instead, we emphasise trust-centred training techniques that help your dog feel secure, build confidence, and better navigate challenges. By teaching your dog to look to you for guidance, our approach fosters a stronger sense of trust and responsiveness, ensuring long-term, sustainable progress for calmer and happier walks together.

My dog is very reactive; will these techniques work for extreme cases?
Yes, these techniques are designed to work for dogs with varying levels of reactivity, including more extreme cases. Whether your dog is fear-reactive, aggressive, or struggles with impulse control, the course provides proven methods to help manage their behaviour on walks. However, if your dog has a bite history or is highly unpredictable, it’s important to ensure your dog is muzzled for safety during walks. You know your dog best, so always prioritise safety and comfort for both you and your dog as you implement these strategies. With patience and consistency, even dogs with the most challenging behaviour can show progress over time.
Is this course suitable for all breeds and ages of dogs?
Absolutely! Whether you have a puppy just starting to learn good walking behaviour, or an older dog with long-standing reactivity issues, this course will guide you through strategies that work for all breeds and ages. The techniques are adaptable to your dog’s specific needs, whether they’re struggling with aggression, fear-based reactivity, or just basic pulling.
How long does it take to see results?
While many dog owners see positive changes in their reactive dog's behaviour within a few days of implementing these dog training tips for reactive dogs, it's important to remember that several factors influence the speed of progress. These include your dog’s learning ability, the time and consistency you invest in practicing these reactive dog training techniques, and the duration of your training efforts. Setting realistic expectations is key; like any learning process, reactive dog behaviour modification takes time and consistent effort. While everyone desires quick fixes for reactive dog problems like barking and lunging on walks, real, lasting behavioural changes don't happen instantly.
