Dogs can become overly aroused by common stimuli. This is often termed Reactivity.

Is your dog experiencing BIG emotions, or do they seem anxious or nervous around other dogs, people, or loud noises? Every dog has their own way of expressing themselves, often to our exasperation! Let's work together to find realistic and sustainable solutions.
The term Reactivity encompasses a wide range of different emotions, including stress, anxiety, or fear. Dogs may also feel frustrated because they are overly friendly and want to greet everyone. Unfortunately, these various emotions often appear similar.
I am passionate about addressing all the emotions associated with "reactivity.” This includes not only the BIG emotions your dog is feeling but also those you, as their guardian, are experiencing. Our emotions often manifest themselves as frustration, embarrassment, and even anger. Having worked with rescue dogs for most of my adult life, I completely understand these challenges and look forward to collaborating with you and your misunderstood companion to
find effective ways to manage them.

I prefer to spend the first two lessons at your home, where you and your dog feel at ease and learning is effective. We cover a lot of information and practice exercises to prepare for scenarios outside. The third lesson takes place in your yard, a familiar environment for your dog, using a plush dog for practice. If we’re ready—remembering that every dog learns at their
own pace— the fourth lesson will focus on practicing in areas you encounter during routine walks, parks, or any other problematic stimuli.
This may seem daunting, but it really works! I can't wait to connect.
