Reactive Dog Training Program – St. Petersburg, FL & Beyond
Professional, Positive Training for Reactive Dogs
If your dog barks, lunges, growls, or shuts down around other dogs, people, or new situations, you’re not alone — and there’s hope.
Our Reactive Dog Training Program helps dogs and their owners to navigate the world calmly and confidently using force-free, positive reinforcement methods.
What Is Dog Reactivity?
Reactivity is more than “bad behavior.” It’s your dog’s way of communicating discomfort, fear, or over-arousal. In our program, we work to understand your dog’s triggers and teach them new, safer responses — so you can both enjoy walks, visits, and daily life again.
​​​​​
Private One-on-One Program​
Our private reactivity program provides focused, customized training sessions to address your dog’s specific triggers and challenges.
We’ll work together to:
-
Understand your dog’s reactivity and identify their thresholds.
-
Teach alternative behaviors that replace barking, lunging, or avoidance.
-
Build focus and attention on you — even in the presence of triggers.
-
Gradually introduce real-life exposure in a safe, structured way.
​
What’s Included:
-
4 weeks of one-on-one training.
-
Step-by-step homework, and support between sessions.
-
Customized progress plan for your dog’s unique needs.
-
Ongoing trainer guidance to keep you moving forward.

Group Classes – Coming Soon!
Once your dog has built foundational skills through private training, they may be ready to join our Reactive Dog Group Classes. These small, controlled group environments will provide safe practice with other dogs and handlers, helping your dog generalize their new skills in a supportive setting.
