Reactive Dog Training Programme in Norfolk
If your dog barks, lunges or becomes overwhelmed around other dogs or people, my Reactivity Programme can help you understand what's driving their behaviour and develop practical ways to support them.
Through six individual sessions, we'll work at your dog's pace, building confidence and helping you both feel more comfortable in everyday situations.

6-Session 1 to 1 Reactive Dog Programme
My Reactivity Programme includes six individual sessions, tailored to you and your dog, alongside access to your private online programme resources, including practical guidance and videos to support your learning between sessions.
We begin at my private training paddock in Norfolk, providing a calm, controlled environment where your dog can learn without becoming overwhelmed. From there, we'll move into carefully chosen real-world environments, helping you put your new skills into practice during everyday walks and encounters.
We'll work towards reducing barking, lunging and other reactive behaviours by helping your dog feel more comfortable around other dogs and everyday situations. You'll learn to recognise early signs of stress, manage challenging situations and use practical training techniques to help your dog respond more calmly.
The goal is for your dog to become increasingly confident and relaxed around other dogs and everyday distractions, without feeling the need to bark or lunge. With time, practice and the right support, walks can become calmer, more enjoyable experiences for you both.
As your dog's confidence grows, there are also opportunities to build on their progress through my small-group sessions and supported walks, providing carefully managed opportunities to practise around other dogs.

How My Reactivity Programme Works
Every dog is different, so your programme will be tailored to their individual needs. Here's what we'll focus on to build confidence and reduce reactive behaviour.
✓ Understanding Your Dog
Learn to recognise your dog's body language, identify early signs of stress and understand what's driving their reactions.
✓ Building Calm Foundations
Begin in my private training paddock, using ACE Free Work and practical exercises to develop confidence, focus and engagement.
✓ Developing Practical Skills
Learn effective lead handling, ways to manage challenging situations and practical techniques such as pattern games, counter-conditioning and gradual desensitisation to help reduce reactive behaviour.
✓ Real-World Confidence
Put your skills into practice in carefully chosen real-world environments, helping your dog become more comfortable around other dogs and everyday distractions.
✓ Supporting You Both
Access your private online Reactivity Programme resources, including practical guidance and videos. We'll review progress together, adapt training to your dog's needs and help you continue building on what you've achieved.

"Viv was brilliant at spotting shifts in Cedric's body language and helping me understand why he reacted the way he did."
"She worked at our dog's pace so he wasn't rushed into situations he couldn't handle."
"Now he is much calmer and happier, which is more enjoyable for me too."
