Welcome to Reactivity Relief

If your dog barks, lunges, pulls, or freezes around other dogs, people, or things in the environment—this hub is for you.

Reactivity is the term we use to describe these kinds of big, intense responses. It’s not bad behaviour. It’s your dog having a hard time—and not knowing what else to do.

This page will walk you through tools, strategies, and step-by-step training plans to help your dog feel more in control and give you a clear path forward.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Simple exercises and video demos you can start using right away

  • Step-by-step strategies for real-life situations like passing dogs or handling surprises on walks

  • Tips to help you spot early signs that your dog is starting to struggle

  • Reward-based training techniques to teach better alternatives—without punishment or harsh tools

You don’t need to have all the answers right now. You just need a place to start—and that’s what this hub is here for.

Let’s work on it together—one step, one walk, one win at a time.
