Step 3 to Calm Walks! 🪄

Let’s talk about Step 3 of my Roadmap to Leash Reactivity: Work the Triggers.

This is where the real magic happens. ✨

What it is: You've probably tried a bunch of counter-conditioning and desensitization games. You may have more acronyms stored in your brain than you ever thought possible.

But do you know HOW each game affects your dogs emotions? Their arousal? These exercises actually change how your dog feels, but ONLY if you understand the when, why, and how to use them.🐕💡

Why it matters: Because if we only manage or avoid triggers, our dogs will always be reactive—and we’ll always be on high alert. We don’t want that. We want our dogs to see the world, notice things without panic, and actually enjoy life on walks.

These games aren’t just “training.” They’re transformation. They teach your dog to handle triggers safely, and they give you the confidence to guide them through it.

🎉 Want to see how this works in real life? Sign up for my free training, and I’ll show you exactly how to set up these games and make real progress. 👉 Register here ​

Can’t wait to see you there,

– Christina

P.s 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.

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...
