The Story Behind the Course

I created My Dog is Reactive because it was the class I needed after I adopted my own reactive dog, Scott. I spent months of my life with Scott feeling overwhelmed, defeated, lonely, and frustrated. I tried to help him but spent too much time spinning my wheels, getting nowhere.

I was running in circles trying to…

• Avoid embarrassing displays of Scott’s reactivity (mainly barking and lunging at other dogs)
• Navigate the conflicting advice on the internet in order to “train the reactivity out of him”
• Explain to family and friends why I couldn’t do ‘normal’ actives with my dog (like take him to the dog park or leave him with a friend to go on vacation)
• Not lose my mind

Fast forward a few years, and while my dog is still dog reactive, he's lightyears ahead of where he used to be and getting better every single day.

Now I…

• Can take my reactive dog, Scott, on peaceful walks and hikes
• Comfortably leave him in the care of a pet sitter for much-needed vacations
• Have my life back again

I was so inspired by Scott's progress that I decided to make a huge career change to become a professional dog trainer. I graduated from the prestigious Karen Pryor Academy and launched my business.

I've taken all that I've learned rehabilitating Scott, through my professional program, and working with clients and put it into My Dog is Reactive: Now What?

Because, while it may seem hopeless now, it's possible to cultivate a happy, peaceful life with your reactive dog. Seriously.
