Give your reactive dog one last chance.

Give your reactive dog one last chance.

Start your journey to a calmer, happier life with your dog.

Living with a reactive dog is really tough. We get it because we've been there ourselves! After our dog grew more aggressively reactive, our life completely changed.

We tried everything - positive training, balanced traning, old school methods, medication, management, avoidance, different equipment and gadgets; sometimes we saw some progress but nothing seemed to stick.

After nearly giving up, we found an incredible certified clinical canine behaviourist who completely changed our lives. We founded Better Dogs together to help other reactive dog owners transform their dogs behaviour.

Our online reactive dog course has been crafted from 20+ years of experience in helping the most difficult and aggressive dogs both privately and in rescue. Our method will help you to guide your dog towards better behaviour with confidence.

Our online courses will help you

  • Reclaim your freedom
  • Confidently handle situations
  • Improve your bond with your dog

Is your dog's behaviour Jekyll and Hyde?

Do you see your dog as the happiest, sweetest, loving puppy in some situations, but totally unrecognisable and frightening in others?
  • Enjoys being petted by you, but growls when others approach?
  • Responsive to commands in the house, but doesn't listen on walks?
  • Calm in your home, but reactive towards other dogs?
  • Playful with dogs, but aggressive towards people?

Are you making big life changes because of your reactive dog?

Owning a reactive dog affects so much in your life. Adjusting your routine, sacrificing personal commitments and missing out for your dog's wellbeing is tough, and can slowly take over your day-to-day life.

5 AM walks?

Are you walking your reactive dog at 5 AM or other unsociable hours to avoid everybody and everything? Do you want to be able to walk your dog anywhere at any time of day?

Not having visitors?

Is your dog's behaviour impacting your social life? Are you exhausted from having to constantly deal with your dog's behaviour rather than focusing on enjoying company?

Missing out on special occasions?

Have you missed out on birthdays and special occasions because of your dog's reactivity? Can't bring your dog with you to see family as they have caused issues before?

Haven't had a holiday with loved ones?

Do you find that you're missing out creating memories with friends or family? Scared to board your dog or don't have a trusted dogsitter capable of dealing with your dog's reactivity?
