“From Reactivity to Reliability: A Balanced Blueprint for Dogs with Aggression or Reactivity”
WALK WITHOUT FEAR. TRAIN WITHOUT GUESSWORK.
Reactivity and aggression aren’t signs of a “bad dog” they’re signals. Your dog is telling you they feel unsafe, overexcited, frustrated, or unsure. The problem? Most owners and even some trainers respond too late, guess at the cause, or unintentionally make things worse.
From Reactivity to Reliability gives you the structured, real-world training plan you need to change those reactions for good.
You’ll
✔ The hidden triggers behind barking, lunging, and snapping and how to spot them early.
✔ A 12-week progressive programme that adapts to your dog’s pace, not the calendar.
✔ How to safely handle situations when you’re too close to a trigger.
✔ Proven drills to build calmness, focus, and self-control.
✔ Exactly what to do on “bad days” so they don’t undo your progress.
Written by a trainer with decades of hands-on experience in both pet and working dogs, this is a balanced, no-nonsense guide for owners and instructors who want results that last.
You don’t have to avoid the world with your dog.
You just need the right plan.
From Frustration to Freedom – The Step-by-Step Plan for Dogs Who React
You love your dog, but the lunging, barking, and growling are exhausting. Every walk feels like a gamble. Every trigger feels like a test you’re destined to fail.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
From Reactivity to Reliability gives you a clear, balanced, and achievable roadmap for turning unpredictable behaviour into consistent, safe, and enjoyable companionship.
This isn’t about quick fixes or magic cues, it’s about building lasting change through structured training, smart management, and a deep understanding of the dog in front of you.
