⚡Group Coaching is better than 1:1


Rethinking Your Dog Training? You’re Not Alone.

You’ve probably heard it before (maybe even from me!):
“One-on-one training is the gold standard.”

And sure—it makes sense. All eyes on you and your dog. More attention. More personalization. More results.

But after running lots of programs, here’s what I’ve seen again and again:
Small group training can actually be even more powerful.
Every time I teach a Deep Dive, it proves itself.

Let me show you why.

Yes—individual support matters. And yes, you’ll absolutely get that here.

But what most people don’t realize is just how transformative it can be to work on leash reactivity in a small group of dog people who truly get it.
Plus... it’s about a third of the cost of private coaching!

We’re often dealing with the same stuff—embarrassing lunges, stressful walks, that gut-drop moment when you see another dog or person headed your way.
You are so not alone.

This isn’t like a typical in-person group class where everyone’s in the same room, stressed out, trying to manage their dogs.
In this program, you get to work from the comfort of your own space—where your dog can stay under threshold and you can actually focus, learn, and make real progress.

Here’s what makes this format magic:

  • You learn from others—real dogs, real struggles, real-time solutions.
  • You hear a question you didn’t even know you had—and it clicks.
  • You see someone else win—and suddenly, it feels possible for you too.
  • And yes, they’ll cheer you on when you have your win.
  • You realize: Oh... it’s not just me.

That kind of support? That daily feedback?
It changes everything. It builds momentum. Confidence. That deep-down belief of we’ve got this.

This isn’t just a training program.
It’s a community of leash-reactivity badasses.

Yes, I’ll coach you. Yes, we’ll troubleshoot exactly what’s going on with your dog.
But you’ll also gain strength from watching others work through the same things—and come out stronger.

You’ll be inspired. Supported. Seen.

Private coaching still has its place—I love it, and I still offer it.
But if you’re craving progress, connection, and a little bit of magic?

This small group is where it happens.

Come for the leash skills.
Stay for the solidarity, the breakthroughs, and the badass energy.

I hope you’ll join me Saturday for our free class.

See you soon,
—Christina ✨

The Truth About Resource Guarding Dogs who guard things they have—or things they want to have—are displaying what we call resource guarding. For most dogs, resource guarding is either part of who they are — often influenced by genetics — or it simply isn’t something they do. In dogs who do guard, we typically can reduce but not erase the underlying anxiety or instinct to protect resources, unless it's addressed very early in life. What we can do is teach these dogs the skills they need to...

Want to prevent reactivity before it starts? Here’s one of the most overlooked skills—learning to watch without staring. Here’s how to tell the difference: 🔹 Watching = relaxed, checking in, less than 3 seconds of direct eye contact, able to disengage 🔹 Staring = stiff, tense, frozen in position, locked-in eye contact, unable to look around, sniff, or connect with you So, why does this become a problem? Because we often miss the early warning signs. 🚩 We confuse "socialization" with letting...

What's the Real Trigger? Have you ever been told that your anxiety is the reason your dog is reactive? Let me be clear: that’s not true. Reactivity stems from a combination of learning history and genetics—not your emotions. That said, our dogs do pick up on patterns and cues in ways we often don’t notice. After losing both Maxi and Enzo last winter, I noticed something surprising. I had always assumed I fed the dogs breakfast simply because it was morning. But in reality, it was Maxi and...
