❄️ Why winter is the best time to train

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Hi There

Winter is coming ❄️—and while most people complain about the wet, dark, and cold, it’s actually one of the best times to train your reactive dog.

Here’s why:
✔️ Fewer people and dogs outside = fewer triggers
✔️ The environment is calmer, so your dog has more chances to succeed
✔️ You can build strong foundations now—before spring brings busy sidewalks, parks, and trails back to life

If leash reactivity has been holding you back, winter gives you the perfect window of opportunity to get ahead.

That’s exactly what we’ll do together inside my 8-Week Leash Reactivity Deep Dive. You’ll learn how to:
🐾 Teach your dog reliable “get out of trouble” skills
🐾 Build muscle memory so you don’t freeze under pressure
🐾 Turn challenges into opportunities to enjoy your time outside

✨ Enrollment is open now—but only until next week.
👉 [Join the Deep Dive here]​

Give yourself and your dog the skills to succeed.

Talk soon,

Christina

Hey friend, I had a visitor this week—a nine-week-old working line Aussie named Gator. She came over for a few hours of socialization, and we packed a lot of learning into some very short play sessions. I started some patterns and structure for self control and arousal management without doing obedience drills. A few highlights: Toy trading — Prevent keep-away games and resource guarding before they start, and build a foundation for recall away from dogs and prey animals. Sit for the toy —...
