Does your dog bark, lunge, or struggle on walks? You’re not alone—I remember being so frustrated and embarrassed walking my dog Betsy, as she'd bark and lunge at any dog in the distance, even a football field away!
Fast forward to today, Betsy can see a dog playing fetch at the park and happily look at me or sniff for treats. I can even keep her engaged with me as we pass a dog on the other side of the street. And if we do have a little reaction she can recover right away and go back to playing with me.
Which is why I want to share what I've learned inside this course...

🧠 A Confidence Course is a great way to let reactive dogs build emotional resilience at their own pace.
🐶 Inspired by the work of a trainer friend, I decided to try using what I call a Confidence Course with the anxious and reactive dogs I work with.
⚓ What I found is that having an a familiar "anchor", an object that they have positively interacted with in a non-distracting and safe environment, is very helpful in a new environment and eventually around their triggers.
In this section of the course I will walk you through 3 levels of the confidence course.
