Is your dog turning every walk into a mystery of barking and lunging? You’re not alone—and you’ve come to the right place.
Is Your Dog’s Reactive Behavior Making Your Life Stressful?
Reactive behavior isn’t random—it’s a series of clues. Reactivity in dogs often stems from fear, frustration, or a lack of coping skills. My job? To decode your dog’s reactions, build trust, and give both of you the tools to navigate tricky situations with confidence.
Solving Reactive Dog Problems:
Why your dog reacts (and what they’re really saying)
How to safely and calmly handle reactivity on walks
Practical strategies you can use in everyday life
Confidence-building exercises for both dog and human
Support every step of the way—no judgment, just progress
I’m Christine, a Certified Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA & CARDS), and behaviour detective specializing in Reactivity in Dogs. If walks feel chaotic, stressful, or embarrassing—you're not alone. And your dog’s case is solvable!
As a Certified Advanced Reactive Dog Specialist, I’ve worked with countless “suspects” (and their humans) to crack the code behind reactive behavior. Whether your dog reacts to other dogs, people, cars, or something you can’t quite pin down, together we’ll uncover the root cause and create a training plan that works.
With over 17 years of experience and a compassionate, science-backed approach, I specialize in helping reactive and fearful dogs thrive. We’ll work at your dog’s pace using only positive, force-free methods that prioritize your dog’s emotional well-being.

Real Reactivity. Real Results
I am SO GLAD I meet Christine! My large dog would bark at anything that moved - cars, cycles, children and especially other dogs. After working with Christine my dog not only stopped the madness but he now goes on GROUP dog walks with me! I never dreamed this would be possible. I can’t begin to explain how grateful and amazed I am.

When he saw dogs, no matter how far away, he loses his mind. I’m talking high pitched, non-stop barking while doing somersaults and tripping on his leash. To say it’s embarrassing is an understatement. I was envious of the dog owners who could enjoy a peaceful walk with their dog. That had never been a reality for me.
Desperate for help, I reached out to Chris to see what she recommended and I was excited to learn she has a full blown reactivity training program. Going into our first session, I was hopeful, but had zero expectations. Chris jumped in right away and I was shocked by what I saw. She was successfully navigating Graham through a dog-filled park without any of the aforementioned theatrics. Before turning the leash over to me, she walked me through how to properly engage him and reward his good behavior as well as giving me a tiered approach for how to call him down when he reacts. I was filled with so much hope during this first session.
