⚡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 ✨

I'm a lazy trainer. Runa wanted to visit a person on the beach. I wanted her to stay with me. Recall training is pretty important right now. I also would like to build enthusiastic heeling foundations. As always, we are practicing the skill increasing and lowering arousal. I can do all of this at once! When we understand how and when arousal helps or hinders, and we have the skills to increase or decrease arousal, a single training session can work on many things at once. In the above...

Every week I hear from someone who feels crushed because their dog had a reaction. Maybe they barked at a neighbour, lost their cool at a dog on the street, or had a really hard time with a visitor. “Did we undo all our training? Are we back at square one?” It's OK. Reactions are not the end of the world. Occasional failures are a part of growth. The trap many of us fall into is playing it too safe. When we stay too deep in the comfort zone, progress slows. When we don't push boundaries, you...

Does your dog stiffen over a bone, growl from the couch, or guard a stolen sock? You're not alone. Resource guarding is normal dog communication. It's how dogs evolved to survive, sometimes it is what we bred them for. But sometimes resource guarding strays away from what's just normal, healthy communication and becomes something that's dangerous and problematic for the dog and for the people or the other animals that the dog lives with In this week's episode of Dogs with Big Feelings, I...
