Reactivity is often a source of confusion and frustration for many dog owners. It is important to recognize that this is not a formal diagnosis, but rather a broad label used to describe a diverse range of behaviours.

Whether a dog is reacting to triggers on a leash, struggling with guests in the home, or having a difficult time at the veterinary clinic, the term itself provides very little information about the specific nature of the challenge. In short, reactivity can encompass everything from acute fear and aggression to the frustration of a social dog with intense emotions.

While many training programs focus solely on the outward behaviours and attempt to stop them, Emily will instead address the underlying cause and help your dog learn to process their emotions, creating a lasting change on your dog's behaviour.

With over a decade of hands-on experience involving thousands of shelter animals, Emily provides a practical, direct approach to assessing and addressing reactivity in all its forms.
