Welcome to
Reactivity Relief
If your dog barks, lunges, pulls, or freezes around other dogs, people, or other things—you’re in the right place.
Reactivity is the term we use to describe these big, intense responses. It’s common—even though it can feel isolating.
They’re having a hard time with what’s happening in that moment.
Reactivity is complex, but there are clear, practical ways to work through it.
This work shows up in real life—on walks, with visitors, and in those unexpected moments that are hardest to manage.

Understanding Reactivity
Reactivity isn’t “bad behaviour.” It’s your dog’s intense response to stress or overwhelm—and a sign they’re struggling in that moment.
This section breaks down what reactivity actually is, why it happens, and how to start making sense of what you’re seeing in your own dog.
-
Why It Happens
It’s influenced by things like your dog’s past experiences, environment, stress levels, and individual temperament.
This section helps you understand what might be driving your dog’s behaviour—so you know where to focus.
-
Triggers & Thresholds
It can feel like every person, every dog, every leaf that blows by sets your dog off.
