Holiday Visitors - Let's Get Your Dog Ready!


5 weeks ’til Christmas!

Reactivity can feel overwhelming, embarrassing, and frustrating—but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

How are you feeling about visitors this year? I’m curious—how are you planning to handle the holiday chaos?


😫 Will your dog bark, jump on guests, or maybe even nip if things get too exciting?

🥰 Or will they politely greet friends and family, staying calm and friendly?

🍗 Will they counter surf and snatch cookies from the table? Will they drool and beg from everyone?🐾 Or will they chill nearby, happily enjoying their own treat?

Depending on why your dog struggles with visitors—fear, guarding, or excitement—we create a customized plan that’s both effective and kind. Your dog gets exactly what they need, whether that’s counterconditioning, emotional regulation, confidence building, obedience skills, or a mix of all of the above.

Now’s the time to make a plan—don’t wait until the week before!

Want some guidance so your holidays are stress-free with your dog? Let’s chat - just reply to this email or set up a time for a phone call.
