Is your dog’s fear or reactivity keeping you isolated?
When you have a reactive or fearful dog, even the smallest unexpected encounters—like passing another dog or a bicycle on a path—can leave you shaken. It’s hard to enjoy a walk when you’re constantly afraid your dog will cower, lunge, or bark at others as you pass. Instead, you keep public outings to a minimum.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel. By understanding and addressing the root causes of your dog’s anxiety, I can help them regain confidence and reenter the world with peace.
Is your dog...
Barking or lunging at people or dogs?
Aggressive toward other dogs?
Jumpy at loud noises?
Anxious when left alone?
Nervous about going outside?
Going to the bathroom in their crate?
Shy or cowering at small changes?
Fearful when guests visit?
I can help with that.
The stress, frustration, and fear that come with owning a reactive or anxious dog can be crushing. My supportive approach takes your life into account.
I’ll teach your dog to feel more at ease and relaxed in various situations, working together to build their confidence and reshape their reactions. Together, we’ll create a calmer, happier environment, leaving anxiety and fear behind.
When your dog benefits, so do you!
Imagine restoring a sense of calm and participating in the activities you once loved without worrying about how your dog will handle it. Fostering a sense of security and confidence in your canine companion paves the way for a happier, more harmonious life for everyone in your household.
