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

Before COVID, none of us ever dreamed of teaching dog training on-line. "Sure, on-line is fine for games and cute courses, but real b-mod needs eyes and hands on!" Turns out, we were wrong - hands down, no contest, my best results are from my on-line students. But why? That doesn't make sense.... Until you think about it this way. yes, maybe I can provide better "this is what your dog needs" in the moment, while I hold the leash. But in private lessons, you get this HUGE amount of info in an...

Dream Dog is open for enrollment now UNTIL MIDNIGHT JANUARY 23RD! Have you ever heard of limiting beliefs? That quiet (or not-so-quiet) voice in your head that says: “You can’t do this.” “Your dog is too difficult.” “Don’t even dream about the life you want with your dog.” It sounds like: “I'm not good enough.” “I’ll never make the time—this will be just another thing I sign up for and abandon.” “I'm bad with tech.” “Other people are just naturally better at this.” “I’ve already messed my dog...
