🧰 The Reactivity Toolkit
This page is your go-to spot for practical tools you can use when things get loud, intense, or just plain overwhelming. These aren’t training shortcuts—they’re skills that help you support your dog in the moment, while building long-term trust and progress.
Whether you're just starting out or already deep into your reactivity journey, this toolkit is here to help you feel more prepared, more confident, and more connected to your dog—even on the hard days.
Start Here: What This Toolkit Is For
Reactivity can feel unpredictable—but that doesn’t mean you have to feel unprepared.
This toolkit is here to give you practical, in-the-moment strategies you can use when your dog is overwhelmed, overstimulated, or already reacting. These tools aren’t about fixing or correcting your dog’s behaviour. They’re about helping both of you get through the moment safely, calmly, and with as little fallout as possible.
Because the truth is—every dog has hard moments. And every guardian deserves simple, effective ways to support their dog through them.
Whether you’re just starting your reactivity journey or deep in the thick of it, these videos and resources are here to help you:
