Reactive
Tails Course
When your dog is struggling with big feelings, not bad behaviour
Living with a reactive dog can feel overwhelming. Walks become stressful, routes are carefully planned, and your focus shifts from enjoying time together to managing difficult moments. Reactivity does not mean your dog is naughty or disobedient. It means they are finding situations hard to cope with.
​
Our Reactive Tails Course is a five-week intensive training course designed to support dogs who react to other dogs, people, bikes, sounds, or their environment. The focus is on changing how your dog feels, not forcing them to suppress behaviour.
What Is Reactivity?
Reactive behaviour is usually driven by fear, frustration, over-arousal, or a lack of coping skills. Barking, lunging, freezing, spinning, or shutting down are signs that your dog is emotionally overwhelmed.
​
This course works on the cause of the behaviour, not just what you see on the outside.
How the
Course Works
Reactive Tails runs over five consecutive weeks and combines structured video sessions with tailored one-to-one coaching and group sessions by the end of the course.
Each session is carefully planned to build skills, confidence, and emotional resilience at a pace your dog can manage.
​
We use positive reinforcement and evidence-based behaviour techniques to help dogs form new, positive associations with their triggers. There is no punishment, intimidation, or forcing involved.
​
If your dog is finding the world challenging and walks feel stressful, this course is designed to help.
