I bought access to their lessons in 2020. They helped me raise the best dog I’ve ever had. Well, six years later I wanted to review them for my new puppy… oh no! They updated their site and I lost access to my lessons. After a quick email exchange with Andrea, not only is my access restored, but a bunch of new videos have been added basically all the new videos they’ve made on the same subjects. I think (I’m not totally sure because it’s been a while) they even threw in a free video on how to integrate my puppy with my older dog. 10/10 lessons and 10/10 customer service.

I highly recommend this program for reactive dogs. My dog and I started it almost four months ago, and the progress has been amazing. Before, my dog was scared of everything during walks: bikes, scooters, children, runners, other dogs, and even buses. Every outing was a real challenge to avoid any reactive episodes. Now, he handles the situations that used to be difficult for him much better. My biggest concern was encountering other dogs — every morning I hoped we wouldn’t run into any so the walk would stay calm. Today, I can simply walk with him and adjust the distance to help him improve. We started with a distance of 6 meters for large dogs and 3 meters for small dogs. After three months, we were able to reduce it to 4 meters for large dogs and less than one meter for small dogs. I also started interval running with him, and it has really boosted his progress: he manages his emotions better and trusts me much more during encounters. A big thank you for this healthy method, as it truly respects our dogs.

There are SO many trainings available online and live. I recommend you to be really mindful of what you choose. This is a really good one. She really understands dogs, and that’s what counts. Not any weird temporary methods that can only bring short term results.

Steffi has changed the way I navigate challenges with my dogs, 150% for the better. She’s encouraging and understanding yet not judgemental and answers questions with a genuine desire to help create positive relationships with our furry family members. I value her knowledge and suggestions tremendously.

I bought her online class: tackling reactivity bundle and it was so helpful! You can ask questions and the exercises are well explained with many video-demonstrations.

I had never experienced this gentle approach to behavior conditioning for our reactive dog. While we still have road to travel, we have found the techniques here to be helpful in allowing our dog a mostly stress-free day. Great content.

The SpiritDog Training courses have truly helped my reactive dog. I’m very grateful for the support and progress we’ve made. Thank you!

my dog Tim is incredible in busy places and at home the recall training did wonders for him and he comes to me every single time I did most SpiritDog courses now and I can't recommend them enough the step by step videos make dog training really easy and fun
