Dog Reactivity & Aggression
What's behind aggressive behaviour
Most dogs who lunge at other dogs, bark at passers-by or guard their food do it out of fear, insecurity, lack of trust and many other reasons. Punishment grows the problem; understanding the cause and gradual, positive training reduces it.
What we cover
- Reactivity towards people
- Reactivity to other dogs or animals (on walks, on the lead)
- Resource guarding (food, toys, space, people)
- Reactivity to cars, scooters, bikes
- Excessive barking (at triggers, for attention, from excitement)
Who it's for
- Your dog pulls and lunges at other dogs on walks
- They bark intensely at passers-by, scooters or bikes
- They growl over their food or toys
How I Help
I help guardians communicate better with their dog, support them to work together, set boundaries tailored to each dog’s needs, and understand the reason behind each behaviour. When we understand the reasons, we can help the dog improve.
What We Do Together
Getting to know you
We get to know each other, I ask some questions, and we talk about what you'd like to work on.
Personal plan
We create a plan tailored to your dog and to your own routine and daily life.
Practice together
I show you practically how we do each exercise, and you practise too, with my guidance.
Support
We refine the plan so you can keep going in your daily life, and we stay in touch for any questions and to track progress until the next session.
📍 Lessons take place at your dog's home, where they feel comfortable.
Frequently asked questions
Is my dog aggressive?
Most dogs who lunge or bark aren't aggressive, they're reactive, reacting strongly out of fear, tension or insecurity. In the assessment we understand what's really going on.
Is it safe?
Yes. We always work safely and at distances where your dog feels comfortable, without putting them in difficult situations.
My dog guards their food, can you help?
Yes. Resource guarding is common and is worked on with positive training, never punishment, which makes it worse.
Can it really improve?
Yes, in most cases. It takes time and consistency, but with the right guidance daily life becomes much calmer.
