Reactive Dog Training Programme in Norfolk
If your dog barks, lunges or becomes overwhelmed around other dogs or people, you’re not alone — and things can improve with the right support.
Together, we’ll explore what’s driving your dog’s behaviour and create a personalised training plan to help reduce reactivity, build confidence on walks and help both you and your dog feel more relaxed together.
You don’t have to have everything figured out — this is just the first step.
Answer a few quick questions in the form below, and I’ll help you find the right programme or support for your dog.
6-Session 1 to 1 Reactive Dog Programme
The programme includes six individual sessions, starting at my private training paddock in Norfolk before progressing into real-world locations once the foundations are in place.
This gives you and your dog a chance to build confidence in a calm environment first, before applying those skills to everyday situations.
By the end of the programme, many owners tell me their dog is calmer around triggers, recovers more quickly after difficult moments, and feels easier to support on walks. You’ll have the knowledge and confidence to continue supporting your dog in daily life. Many dogs then progress on to our small group sessions, where they continue building confidence in a carefully managed, supportive environment.
Flexible payment options are available at checkout, including Klarna (subject to eligibility)
How My Reactivity Programme Works
Every dog is different, but most clients follow a similar journey as we build confidence, understanding and real-life skills together..
Here’s how the reactivity programme typically progresses:
Step 1: Starting with Understanding
We begin by looking at why your dog is reacting. You’ll learn how to read their body language, recognise early signs of stress, and understand what they are communicating before things escalate.
Step 2: Building Calm Foundations
Your first sessions take place at my private training paddock, giving your dog the space and security to learn without becoming overwhelmed.
Step 3: Developing Practical Skills
Building on those calm foundations, we’ll use practical strategies and easy to learn games to build focus, create space from triggers and help your dog make calmer choices.
Step 4: Moving into Real-World Environments
Once the foundations are in place, we gradually begin working in real-life environments. This is where we help your dog apply their new skills in everyday situations, with careful guidance to keep things manageable and on the right track.
Step 5: Supporting You Both
Reactivity can feel overwhelming, but you won’t be doing this alone. Between sessions, I’ll help you reflect on your dog’s progress, what to adjust, and how to keep progressing at a pace that suits your dog.
What You’ll Learn:
Throughout the reactivity programme, you’ll develop practical, real-world skills to support your dog in everyday situations — not just in sessions, but out on your walks too.
✔️ Understanding your dog’s body language — so you can recognise early signs of stress and support them before things escalate.
✔️ Creating space and managing triggers — helping your dog feel safer by making decisions about distance and environment.
✔️ Calm, effective lead handling — reducing tension on the lead so your dog can feel more relaxed and able to think clearly.
✔️ Building focus and engagement — helping your dog stay connected with you, even around distractions.
✔️ Supporting confidence at both ends of the lead — so you feel calmer and more confident, and your dog has clearer support from you.
✔️ Introducing gentle, effective behaviour change techniques — including approaches such as ACE Free Work, pattern games, counter-conditioning and gradual desensitisation.
These skills give you a clear, practical framework for helping your dog feel safer, more regulated, and better able to cope in everyday life.
You won’t just learn what to do — you’ll understand why it works, so you can confidently support your dog long-term.
