Our most intensive program, for dogs working through reactivity or aggression toward other dogs or animals.

We combine a full obedience foundation with focused behavior work: the disengagement game, structured counterconditioning and desensitization to your dog's specific triggers, and calmer alternative responses — always working below your dog's threshold and at their pace. Every plan is individualized because every trigger history is different.

Requires a paid in-home consult first. The $500 (or $600 out of state) consult fee is credited toward this program. Twice-weekly report cards, four handover lessons.

Trainer tip: progress with reactivity isn't linear, and a good week followed by a rough one doesn't mean you're back at zero — it means your dog is generalizing a new skill, which is exactly how this kind of learning looks from the inside.

Best for: dogs with dog or animal reactivity or aggression, whose families are ready for real follow-through. People-aggression cases are referred out to a specialist before booking.
