Does your dog bark, growl, or lunge at dogs, people, or objects on walks or in social settings? Our Reactivity Residential Training helps them stay calm and confident, transforming stressful outings into positive experiences.
Overcome Bad Behaviour with our Expert Dog Reactivity Training
Our Residential Dog Reactivity Training is designed for dogs who need more than a standard training session. Through our structured reactivity and agression programme, your dog stays with our experienced trainers and receives consistent, daily support in a calm, controlled environment.

Our Approach to Dog Reactivity
Our reactive dog training program is designed to help your dog feel more comfortable and confident around the things that trigger them. We start by identifying these triggers to develop a personalised training plan.
Desensitisation and Counter-Conditioning
Desensitisation works by gradually exposing your dog to their triggers in a calm and manageable way, helping them feel less overwhelmed over time. Alongside this, counter-conditioning shifts their emotional response by pairing the trigger with something positive—such as treats, praise, or play—so they begin to feel more relaxed and confident in situations that once caused stress.
Teaching Alternative Behaviours
We teach dogs to perform alternative behaviours—such as making eye contact, sitting, or focusing on a handler—so we can redirect their attention away from triggers. These behaviours act as coping tools, helping the dog stay engaged with us rather than reacting to the environment. By reinforcing these responses in a calm and structured way, we’re actively helping the dog feel more secure and in control.
Achieving Calmness and Confidence
We continue to practise these exercises consistently, reinforcing positive behaviour with rewards, praise, and repetition. This ongoing, structured approach builds reliability and strengthens the communication between you and your dog. It’s not about quick fixes, but about creating lasting behavioural change through patience and trust. This daily commitment is what truly solidifies progress.
