Help for reactive, fearful and anxious dogs.
Does your dog bark, growl or lunge at other dogs or people? One-to-one coaching in Whistler and Pemberton, built around your dog’s triggers and your real life.
Progress happens at a distance your dog can handle.
Reactivity usually comes from fear, frustration or both. Too close to a trigger and your dog can’t think, let alone learn.
So we start far enough away that your dog notices the trigger and stays calm. We reward that, then close the gap only as fast as your dog is ready. That’s how new feelings, and new habits, stick.

Common questions
-
Reward-based, and nothing else. No prong collars, no e-collars, no leash corrections. Dogs trained this way stay happier and more confident, and it’s the standard my BC SPCA accreditation is audited against.
-
Almost always. A dog who will not eat is usually too worried to eat, which tells us where to start.
-
Yes. I completed Michael Shikashio’s Aggression in Dogs Master Course, and every plan starts with keeping everyone safe. Muzzle training is often part of that, and I’ll show you how to make it something your dog enjoys.
-
Wherever the problem happens. That might be your street, a trailhead or your living room, anywhere in Whistler or Pemberton.
