Reactive Dog Training
in
Walnut Creek
If your dog loses it at the sight of another dog, person, skateboard, or random leaf blowing across the sidewalk—you’re not alone. Reactivity can turn every outing into a high-stakes event, leaving you constantly on edge and unsure what’s coming next.
I help reactive dogs in Walnut Creek learn how to stay grounded in the face of triggers, using science-based strategies that reduce overreactions instead of suppressing them. This is real training for real-life dogs who need more than a “sit” and a prayer.
Let’s get into the why behind your dog’s behavior—then build a plan that actually works. Reach out to get started.
