I Wish Someone Told Me THIS When I Had a Reactive German Shepherd (Extreme Case Study)

Kirsten's two-year-old German Shepherd Reggie lunged and barked at dogs from 200 meters away. Perth K9 Academy spent five days building a communication system with an e-collar and prong collar, starting with sleep and diet. Six weeks later, Reggie was off-leash and calm around other dogs.

Meet Reggie. Before coming to Perth K9 Academy, Reggie couldn't get within 200 metres of another dog without reacting. The second he saw a dog, it was like the rest of the world just disappeared. He would lock on, lose his fucking marbles, and Kirsten was left struggling with a 50 kilo dog trying to manage that reaction. That made Reggie and Kirsten's life very, very small. Walks became a calculation. Where can we go? What time is quiet? Is there a dog around that corner?
It was exhausting for Kirsten, and it wasn't a good way for Reggie to live either. The goal with Reggie wasn't to create a quick before and after moment.
It was to teach him a new way to move through the world. Clearer communication, better decisions around dogs, and eventually the freedom to just be a dog without chaos just taking over. So if you want to see how we took Reggie from this to this, tune into Reggie's 5-day transformation here at our Perth boot camp.
Okay, Kirsten, so tell me about what dog you have, what breed, age, and why you're here.
Yeah, I've got a German Shepherd named Reggie. He is Just about to turn 2 years old. The reason I'm here is I'd love to just be able to take him places without him becoming a menace to society, really. We take him on walks. He loves small children on bikes, loves barking at other dogs that are around him. So really just wanting to get him kind of trained up to stop that reactivity.
Walk me through like a bit of a day-to-day walk, what it looks like with Reggie and like what you're really struggling with.
We kind of just keep it to really either really early mornings Or late at night when I can kind of minimise these interactions with other dogs.
And would you say the most stressful things at the moment are that, like, the lack of control that you have of him in those scenarios and like the barking and the lunging?
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, yeah. I just don't ever want to put him in a situation where he's at risk or another dog is at risk.
So far before coming to us, what have you tried in regards to fixing his reactivity?
So I've been to previous dog trainers before, took him to a puppy school. Um, he went for one class and they said, you gotta take him. I've taken him to a few other trainers who have been really balanced, but just finding the time and kind of with their schedule has been super hard to fit in. You get so much information online about how you should or how you shouldn't do stuff, so I was like, yep, let me just go to an expert, let them kind of put their spin on it and see how you guys deal with it and go from there.
So this week Reggie's going to be around a ton of dogs, um, going out to public places. How does that kind of Does that make you feel a little bit anxious? Do you feel confident with that?
I am anxious. I think I'm anxious just because I know what his reactions to dogs are going to be, but I have all faith in you guys and handling that situation. I think for me it's just more around I worry for him, I worry for his kind of reaction with it, but I, I think I'm just gonna leave it to the experts in this case.
What would a dream outcome be from this training?
Yeah, dream outcome would be I know it sounds so silly, but be able to take him to a coffee shop and him chill and not worry about other dogs that are there. Or be able to, in summer, go camping with him, let him off leash, have that recall of him coming back, and then not having to worry about his interactions with other dogs.
Yeah.
When we're out and about. I'd also just love to take him around for a walk around the block and not have him bark at other dogs or react to other dogs. Like, that would just be the dream. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, well, that's exactly what we can do. So how exciting. All right, well, we'll speak in a few days. Enjoy the process, everything.
Yeah.
And we'll speak then.
Yeah.
As you could probably see, Reggie is just extremely frustrated. Reggie's never off the leash. Obviously his owner puts a little bit of effort to play with him. One of the main things is he's not having his needs met on a daily basis. He's done a bit of training before, but for me it just seems like there's a real lack of communication of what Is and isn't allowed. And then also with that, like I said, big boy, very frustrated, and just needs to have his needs met. So we're gonna have another look, but by the looks of it, it's kind of like every German Shepherd that we see, right? An over-aroused, very frustrated Shepherd who I don't know yet, but by the sounds of it, hasn't really had a job, hasn't really had a bit of an outlet, and maybe lacks a little bit of communication, right? So we're gonna have a bit more of a look now. But realistically, I think it's like a lot of dogs that we see. And yeah, hopefully this owner is going to be very, very happy with the outcome. Oh my goodness. The 2 biggest issues for Reggie is that he has no recall, he's never off the leash, and he's very reactive. So one of the 2 biggest things that we're going to do with him to change this is we are going to get him off the leash. We're going to use the e-collar to do this because it's the only proven tool To get a dog 100% reliability when it comes to being off the leash. His owner drives very far away to take him to secluded places every now and then to get him off the leash. But on a day-to-day basis, this dog is just walking around the block. A big working boy who needs to have his needs met. And that's exactly what we're gonna do by getting him off the leash. And most importantly, and this is gonna be very controversial here, we are gonna go through punishment with Reggie. We are gonna tell him for maybe the first time in his life that that behavior, being reactive, is not okay. It's stressful for you, it's stressful for your owner, and it's gonna end you up in a bad place. So we need to be able to effectively communicate with him that his behavior is not okay. And I promise you this, you will see this whole dog's world open up when we do that. I'm gonna give you a quick breakdown about what we're actually gonna do with Reggie, and realistically, this is what we do with the majority of dogs. I think of this as my pyramid when it comes to fixing certain behaviors. At the very bottom of the pyramid, there are some very important things: sleep, diet, and pain. Like me, if I don't get my, my beauty sleep, I can be a bit grumpy. So before people come to our boot camps and before Reggie came down, I have reached out to his owner and made sure that he is getting a lot of sleep so he's not a little bit cranky like I would be, right? Next, we're gonna think about his diet. In general, he's eating a good diet and he's He's doing okay in regards to his weight. He could lose a few pounds if we were being pushy. And next, we're gonna make sure that he's not in pain. So making sure that people who come to the boot camps and Reggie's owner have got a vet checkup and has made sure that he's not in pain. And that might be the sole reason that our dog is a bit of an asshole. So we need to rule these out before even going up into the next part of our training pyramid. Next on the training pyramid, we're gonna talk about fulfillment. So before we go ahead and teach clear communication to the dog, we need to make sure that our dogs are fulfilled. So the first thing that we're gonna tackle with Reggie is we're gonna get him obsessed with a game. He already generally likes tug, but being a German Shepherd, it's not gonna be hard to really tap into his drive and make him absolutely obsessed with it. At the moment, Reggie has a very bad job. He is self-employed, and that job that he has is being reactive. He enjoys being in a very high state of arousal. It's the best part of his day. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna give him an outlet for the way that he feels, because he's gonna enjoy being in that state of arousal. And we're gonna do that through tug. So we're gonna give him a better job. We're not gonna allow him to be self-employed anymore, and that's gonna have a drastic impact on his behavior. Okay, so the next thing that we're gonna do is we're gonna get Reggie reliable off of the leash. We're going to get him living the best life ever. Reggie is not off the leash. He is never off the leash. That is crazy. He's a dog, right? But his owners, it's no fault of their own. They can't trust him. They don't know what he's gonna do when he sees another dog. But this is gonna have such a dramatic impact, um, when it comes to the way that he feels. Why is he so pent up? Why is he so reactive? More than likely because he doesn't have his needs met. He's not off the leash and he's not being played with on a regular basis. So we can do this in a very short amount of time. Lots of dog trainers all around the world spend way too long conditioning an e-collar. Just like me a few years ago, I used to spend 2, 3 weeks getting a dog used to the e-collar. But that's just not true. I don't know where it came from that we all believe this. All we need to know is that our dog understands the concept of the e-collar and that when they feel that sensation, They know that it means to come back to us. And then in turn, we can get them off the leash, living the best life ever, because that's what we believe that dogs should be doing. Next, what we're gonna do is we're gonna teach him clear, simple communication. And that is as simple as teaching him a yes. We're gonna make sure that he knows when he hears the word yes, that he has done the right thing. We're gonna put a little bit of obligation through his yes as well. But we're gonna create this big automatic response when he hears the word yes, to turn around, run to us, and get a reward for his good behaviour. What's probably more important than that, and the reason, the reason that his owner is here, is because of this. His owner, just like probably all of you at home, are not struggling with this. You are not struggling to tell your dog, good boy, well done, here's food. But what you are struggling with is telling your dog that you don't like certain behaviours, to stop doing certain things. You can't stop it. You have a reactive dog. And that's exactly What Reggie's owner is struggling with as well. So we're going to teach Reggie and teach Reggie's owner a clear way of saying that, hey, that behaviour is not okay. Never, ever, ever do that again. And that alone is going to change his life, because one no opens up the door for a thousand yeses. And once we have all this in place, we can have a happy dog.
This is where we started building Reggie's redirects. Before we ask the dog to make a good decision around a big trigger, they need to understand the language we're using. For Reggie, that started with teaching a strong yes marker and then using leash pressure to create obligation. The yes tells him that, that was right, you made the right decision, and that's what we wanted. Come to us, get a reward. The leash pressure gives him a reminder that he must come to us and get his reward. He's obligated to do so. It's not about dragging him around or getting into a fight with him. It's simply teaching him that pressure means follow through with what I'm asking. Come back and there's a reward on the other side. Once that communication is very clear in a low distracting environment, we can start asking for it later when he faces his triggers again.
We're going to start our redirect as well, which is basically teaching the yes or giving the yes a little bit of obligation so that now when he hears his word and let's say he's really distracted by A dog, whatever it is, and he's not reacted, I can use my marker, which is Y-E-S. Let's say he was hyperfixating, and if he didn't turn around when he heard it, I can— keyword— gently start to tap, tap, tap, tap, tap on the leash until he turns around, and I give him some food. I'm simply gonna say my word just like you did before, and if he doesn't respond, I'm going to use the leash and gently tap But making sure that I move backwards. Once again, I'm going to show that I'm using my finger and my thumb. Yes. Oh, that was nice. I'm going to let him come over. This is going to be hard for Reggie. Close your hand. Yes. Good boy. So I just started to tap and move backwards to say, hey, I know you heard me. I know that you know what this means. You have to turn around. So trying to get through multiple repetitions of this, where in his head then everything else is a bit of a roadblock. I hear that word, I need to turn around, go to this weird bloke with a moustache, and get some food. It's the same with you guys.
Yes. Nice.
Good boy.
Having a strong yes marker is gonna be so important when it comes to a dog like Reggie. When he hears yes, It needs to mean something. It needs to be able to tell him at the exact moment that he makes the right choice. That's right, keep doing what you're doing. And that becomes incredibly powerful around other dogs. Reggie's going to see a trigger, he's going to choose to disengage, check back in with Mum, and he's going to hear yes. We're not just trying to stop a reaction, we're showing him exactly what to do instead.
If you're feeling guilty about your dog's reactivity, then I'm here to help.
You're not a bad dog owner, you've just been fed the wrong information.
But fear no more. That knot that you get in your stomach every time you grab your dog's leash, let's fix it. We've put everything that we know into a completely free program, and it's going to help you solve absolutely all of your issues. Did I mention it was free?

Okay, so on Monday with Reggie, first thing that we needed to do is we needed to get him out and actually see what the issues are. So we got his owner to come down, get Reggie out, and we got our own dogs out to see what kind of reactivity we were dealing with or how intense the reactivity was that we're going to have to deal with. So then after that, we got Reggie in and we started some redirects. So we got him to understand that yes means that you have to turn around and come to me because something really, really good is happening. So we went over that for a few reps. We introduced a prong collar for that as well, and then we started to do some e-collar conditioning. So we got him used to the e-collar, what the e-collar means. We found a level that was a bit annoying for him. Nothing stressful. It just looked like his ear was flicking, his head was tilting a little bit, and he wondered what it was. And over the course of these next 2 days, we're gonna teach him that that sensation means to turn around. So our first foundational work is gonna be yes means turn around, come to me, and get a reward. And also the e-collar means turn around and come back to me. What it's gonna look like is you're gonna call your dog, you're gonna use their name if you want to, and a come or a recall command. It's up to you what you use, but let's use something that you've already been practising, hopefully, come here. So let's say it's Barry, Bumless Barry, we're teaching him recall. I'm gonna say, Barry, here. When I say Barry, here, I'm gonna start to tap my e-collar. Barry's gonna go, what's that? And what's gonna happen is we're gonna wait until Barry commits To coming back. That might be one big stride. When he commits, I'm going to stop tapping my e-collar, and you're going to mark. So you're going to go, yes. The release of the pressure is where the learning happens. We put our seatbelt on and the dinging stops. That is the moment of learning.
Now we need to talk about punishment, because punishment's a word that gets thrown around in dog training a lot. Punishment is just trying to simply stop something happening. Punishment is not anger, getting frustrated, or taking your bad out on a dog. It's going to be a fair, clear consequence that a dog receives after making a wrong choice. With Reggie, we first showed him what yes looks like. We taught him how to disengage, come back to us, and earn a reward. But when he chooses to react, we address that. A dog needs to understand both sides of the scale. There has to be a reward for the right choice, and most importantly, there has to be a consequence for an unacceptable behaviour.
Not here because you struggle telling your dog yes. Maybe it's not as clear as it's going to be going now into the future, but you're probably able to give your dogs food, pats, tell them they're a good boy, a good girl when they've done the right thing. But what you're probably struggling with, and that you are all struggling with, is like the ability to clearly say to your dog that certain things are not okay, and I never want you to do that in the future. The same way as we teach a reward marker, We're going to teach a punishment marker. We don't— we're not very good with timing, right? Even us as dog trainers, we're not very good. We're slow sometimes, we forget. So it's nice to have a word where we can timestamp the moment that your dog is doing something. So what we're going to do is we're going to create a word that we can do that. We can say, that thing that you just did, barking or trying to bite my mum as you actually came through the front door, that wasn't good. Walk over, grab the dog, and then go through punishment with them.
Coming up is Reggie's first exposure around another dog since starting the boot camp. The moment a dog comes into view, we watch closely. We don't wait for the reaction to happen and then try to pick up the pieces. If Reggie sees the dog and makes the right decision, we're going to mark it with yes and reward it to start building a positive association towards his trigger and let him know that good choices make good things happen.
Dog appears?
Yes.
Reggie checks in?
We're gonna reward. He sees the trigger and he learns that calm behaviour, engagement, and moving with his handler all have more value than reacting. The sight of another dog doesn't induce a reaction. That dog starts becoming a cue for Reggie to look back to us and make a better choice. And if he tries to go back into the old pattern, we're not going to let him rehearse it. We're going to give him fair and consistent consequences for that bad behaviour, and we're going to give him another chance to choose correctly. One of the biggest shifts for Reggie this week was building play. The hard truth with a reactive dog is that the environment often matters more to them than the handler ever has. The second Reggie sees another dog, he just gets pulled into the moment and Kirsten becomes background noise. We cultivated a game with Reggie for Kirsten so that she's the source of fun. Excitement and fulfillment, not just the person holding the leash.
This isn't about lazily throwing a ball for your dog whilst you're scrolling on TikTok.
It's structured, engaging play that Reggie wants to do with Kirsten. We're not trying to shut Reggie down. He's a working line German Shepherd with a lot of drive, and he needs a healthy outlet for that.
Are you ready? Are you ready? Hey, are you ready? Sorry, he lost it. He lost it from his mouth. I'm gonna let him tug on it a little bit. Let him win. Bring him back to me.
Oh, here we go.
Wow, here we go.
What happened?
He stole it.
Well, I stole it from him because he had a bad grip. Wow. I let him win. So I've made him run and miss only once or twice. And then on the third time, I let him get it. The fox will conserve its energy if the rabbit is not attainable. So he's not going to continue to chase and chase the toy if he deems it not achievable. I'm going to get a tiny bit more engagement. Finished. Finished.
Finished.
At the end, I saw he was getting tired, so I'm like, fuck, all right, I know he hasn't got that much left in him where he's really going to enjoy it, so let me make him miss a few times. He went, oh, I can't get it, oh, I can't get it. Desperation. I then hit it and was like, sucks to suck, mate, maybe next time.
Thursday was about taking the training into the real world. We headed down to South Perth foreshore to fine-tune Reggie's recall And test whether the communication we had built would hold up outside of the training environment. This is where the work really matters. Dogs, people, bikes, cars, movement, noise, just fucking real life happening all around him. We also took him on a big pack walk, not to overwhelm him or to force him through something, but to see whether he could stay accountable when there was loads of stuff going on around him. Could he walk past dogs? Could he stay composed around people, bikes, and cars? Could he hear his recall and come back to his owner? One perfect rep in a quiet space is not the goal at all. The goal is a dog who can make good decisions while real life is happening all around them. And this was a huge test for Reggie. Let's check in and see what she had to say about his experience so far.
Okay, so we're here on Thursday. Run me through Reggie's behaviour before coming to the bootcamp.
Reggie would not be able to be anywhere within like 200 metres from another dog without wanting to lunge or bark. Or react to it. He had no recall on or off leash. His leash walking manners were atrocious, pulling me, tugging me. Wouldn't be able to loose leash walk him at all. Um, wasn't really concentrated on walks. It was more like, I'm going for a walk, I'm taking Mum with me, versus we're going on a walk together.
We're here on Thursday now. Did you think at the start of the week, or even previously, that you'd be able to like be around this many dogs, or doing— to be able to do what we are doing right now with Reg?
No. Yeah, no way. I mean, not that I didn't have faith in you guys. It was just after so many attempts and tries with training and different ways of doing it, I thought, oh, we might be able to get maybe like nice leash manners. But the fact that he can sit within 2 meters of a dog without wanting to bark or lunge or react to it and just is so neutral with it is insane.
So at the moment, obviously there's a lot of ideas really floating around your head, but what are you looking forward to most with Reggie after the bootcamp?
Being able to take him to a park, throw a ball, and him come back, um, and just let him have like a life off leash that he has the freedom to explore and have those fun times, and also having the ability to bring him back for his safety. And then the other thing is being able to take him to a pub or a cafe on a Friday after work and just be able for him to sit there and chill with me and not have to worry about it.
For most people, taking their dog to the pub sounds completely normal, but when you own a reactive dog Normal things can feel miles away. You don't just sit down and switch off and have a pint. You watch the door, watch every passing dog, scan every movement, and wait for something to go wrong. Taking Reggie out was not about showing off. It was about showing what a calm, reliable dog can give back to an owner. You can meet friends, sit down, and just finally breathe. At the end of Reggie's bootcamp, we sat down with Kirsten to get her honest thoughts on his transformation so far. From not being able to be within 200 metres of another dog, To now being at the pub surrounded by other dogs, perfect on the leash, non-reactive, and most importantly, having amazing off-leash freedom.
Here's what she had to say. Obviously, you had lots of, lots of issues, lots of stresses coming into doing this bootcamp. What's the, what's the biggest change that you've seen in Reg over the past 5 days?
It's funny you say that because I was speaking to some family members before that, before I started the bootcamp, and the first thing they said was, but his whole personality is going to change. Like, you're going to lose part of Reg when it comes to it. I think it's actually the opposite. I think more of his personality's come out because he's so confident and sure of himself coming into any situation. Like, he knows he's safe, he knows he's okay. Um, and I think the behaviors that I might find cute or funny or playful, like the jumping, isn't always cute and funny and playful. So I think for me it's about nipping that in the bud and being okay with how to go about nipping that in the bud. Um, and he's— yeah, he's just— he's, he's already a confident big dog, but it's being able to— kind of siphon that energy into the right place in the correct way versus him just being destructive or reactive or freaking out when he's unleashed.
And I think me and Abby were talking at the start of the week, like, we have a lot of German Shepherds that come down to these boot camps, and a lot of them are genuinely quite scared. Um, they're very apprehensive, they're not confident. But when he came down on Monday, I like looked at the camera and laughed. I was like, he's just like He's just frustrated and he has no, he has no rules and boundaries. Right. And if anything, like you see, like a very— he's a very majestic dog. He's a very majestic boy, very confident. And if anything, it's, it's just made him more majestic.
Exactly. Yeah.
More just happy and content at life.
Yeah, for sure. And I think it's the coolest thing being able to walk my dog and people be like, She knows how to—
There's a nice dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what would you say to somebody who was on the fence about doing a bootcamp? We, like I said before, we have lots of people who are very apprehensive. They've done lots of training. They've tried lots of things. It's not worked out. Now that you've been, you've been in a bootcamp, you've seen all these dogs and you've seen the transformation which has happened. You've seen it with your own eyes, with your own dog. What would you say to those people who might not believe the kind of results that we can get in 5 days and the kind of results we get without squashing dogs, without throwing treats on the floor, and just genuinely trying to like make a happy dog and give them a happy life?
Come in with an open mind if you're going to do it. You have nothing to lose. Your dog is already probably— if you're already looking at a boot camp situation, you're probably already at rock bottom, as per se. Like, you're kind of looking at that case going, I don't know what else we can really do here. I've tried this, I've tried that. There's so much information out there. Do it. Like, I know it's crazy, but just, just do it. I know it's 5 days of your time. It's worth the sacrifice. Your dog is going to come out way better, way well-rounded. He's going to make dog friends. You're going to make dog friends. You're going to meet like-minded people who are wanting to do best for their dogs. Um, you will see results.
It's been over a month since we saw Reggie. So what we decided to do is invite Kirsten and Reggie down to catch up with us.
Just to see how they're going. Take a look. Okay, so yeah, 6 weeks since the bootcamp.
Tell us everything. How's he been?
He's been amazing. Like, honestly cannot thank you guys enough. And I know it probably sounds like a broken record, but genuinely the best thing that's happened is him coming to this bootcamp. So much more fulfilled. He's such a well-behaved dog in public. He'll never be a dog park dog, and that's okay. Like, I'm so fine with that. But being able to take him off leash, walk him, have that recall, He's a lot more secure and kind of like understanding of his surroundings. He's a lot more secure as a dog as well. I think before he was a lot more anxious, very confident dog, but didn't know what to do with that confidence. Well, now he's kind of got that confidence to be like, Mum's got it, I'm chill, we're good, we're safe, we're happy. Um, so it's been amazing, like genuinely so good.
Fantastic.
Yeah, he's a, he's a great boy. I think I fell in love with him on the first day. Made me, um, Maybe kind of go back to like me having Floyd, having my German Shepherd, the reason I got into dog training, having him, then seeing you struggle. Yeah, I'm like, right, we're gonna get her some good results.
Yeah, yeah.
What's the major differences before the boot camp and then now in Reggie's behavior? Like, what's the biggest change?
I think for me, him having a channel for his energy has been like completely life-changing. Um, being able to take him for 20 minutes down to the park before work, um, throw the ball, and he's chill. He's not destroying things in the house, he's not barking as much. Um, he's a lot lot more secure in his own kind of way of being, if that makes sense. Um, he's a lot more mature as well. I think also finding him around other dogs, he's kind of just not really caring about that interaction anymore. He's a lot more like, uh, just give me the ball. Like, I just want to throw the ball and chase after it. Instead of before, it was like, oh no. Like, I'd have really, really bad anxiety. Um, try walk him at times when no one else is walking their dogs, which was also a lot different.
Yeah.
But now I'm like, ah, go down to the park, we can throw the ball, be chill. I'm happy with that. And it's been just, yeah, amazing.
Do you feel like because you went through training Reggie previously that you lacked a bit of trust with dog trainers? Like initially coming into it, finding out about us, you were a bit apprehensive or didn't know if like anything was actually going to work for you because of your history of training?
Yeah, I think Reggie was kind of— I was at that point of being like, he's the untrainable dog. Like he's that one dog that's just not going to be able to be trained and I'm just going to have to live with it. But for the rest of it, like speaking to other German Shepherd owners, they're being like, we just don't take our dog anywhere. It's at home all the time. We're just so worried about their interactions with other dogs. And I was like, is that a life I can afford my dog? And am I giving my dog the best life? And had some real like moral dilemmas about like, is my ownership of Reggie the best thing for him?
What would you say your biggest highlight post boot camp is?
I think there's 2. I think the first one is having a dog where other people are like, that's a really well-trained dog. And I'm like, thank you so much. I'm like going out with a group of friends and And they're having their dogs and his dog mates, and I'm like, that's right, my dog's the best behaved out of all of them. Um, and then the second one is just having that ability for him to have that freedom off leash. That's my favourite thing, is the ability to walk him around our local, like, area, just take him on his normal walks, and he can be off leash, and he's next to me, and he's safe, and he's listening, and it's just been the best.
Okay, well, yeah, thanks for the catch-up.
We're gonna go for a walk anyway. We'll see how Reggie is getting around our dogs, have a bit of fun, and yeah, we'll chat soon.
5 days ago, Reggie couldn't get within 200 100 meters of another dog without losing his mind. And now he is completely off the leash, he's non-reactive, his leash manners are perfect, and he can go to the pub, relax with his mum, without losing his mind at every other dog. If you're struggling with a reactive dog like Reggie, you can't take him for a walk, you walk at midnight or 5 in the morning, and you do your best to avoid every other dog or trigger, I want to let you know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Reggie's owner was in the exact same position as you, but now is living the dream life with her dog. So if you want to find out whether our Reactive Dog Bootcamp is the right fit, reach out for the details below and subscribe for more real-life dog training transformations.
