Stop Reactivity in Its Tracks 🚦

🌟Sept 24 Free Training

Does the thought of seeing another dog or a person on a walk fill you with dread? You’re not alone. 🐾

Before we can actually train those triggers, we need some games and skills in place to help us manage them. Did you know there’s a big difference between training and managing?

If we jump straight into the training games and something unexpected happens—like a surprise dog or we accidentally get a little too close or a little too far—we can end up in a tricky (and maybe scary) situation… for both us and our dog. 😬

That’s why Step 2 of my Roadmap to Leash Reactivity is all about anticipating surprises and having safe “get out of trouble” skills in place—skills that are in your muscle memory before the real challenge shows up.

When you have these management skills ready, you can train with confidence, keep your dog safe, and actually make progress instead of just reacting to chaos. 💡

🎉 Want to learn exactly how to put these skills into action? Sign up for my free training and get ready to feel safe walking your dog! 👉 Register here ​

During the workshop, I will be opening the doors to my signature 8 week reactivity training & coaching program, Leash Reactivity Deep Dive with a special limited time bonus.

I’ll see you SOON,

– Christina

You're going to make mistakes with your dog. Sorry for the foul language, but seriously, be nicer to yourself! You'll miss a warning sign. You'll push too far on a bad day. You'll look back and think I should have known better. And when it happens, that voice in your head will be merciless. Learning isn't linear. When we live with dogs with Big Feelings, progress is often three steps forward, one step back. That's normal. Setbacks don't erase all the hard work you've done. One rough day...
