My dog is reactive or aggressive
Reactive dogs bark excessively because they’re reacting to specific triggers in their environment, such as other dogs, people, or noises. This barking isn’t just misbehaviour; it’s an emotional response driven by anxiety and a need to create distance from the perceived threat.

We were starting to think we could no longer live with our 4 year old cockapoo and were walking on eggshells the whole time. Roger helped us to understand our dog’s guarding, anxiety and reactive ways, worked with us on techniques and training to keep him calm, and helped us to understand his body language. We now have the confidence and skills to work with our dog and can now relax in our own home.

Lola, our reactive German Shepherd, needed help on walks and at home. Roger’s 10-week course taught us to read Lola’s body language, understand her frustrations, and support her. His 1-1 and pairs training was invaluable. We’ve seen huge progress; Lola’s much less reactive. Roger gave us tips for calm at home and before walks. We now know how to manage her reactivity. Roger is amazing, highly recommend!
