I have the academy membership and it is a great value. She breaks down training into steps and covers everything you need plus you can send in a video or ask questions in the live sessions. Highly recommend

I love this puppy course.It just works! So fantastic helpful advices, some I never heard before and I already raised some dogs for over 40 years. But this course is the best!

The course on reactivity is really well done. Lots of content and real examples of training sessions in different settings. There's material to download as well, and the team of trainers is very responsive when we leave a question. I've only started a week ago but already see some improvement with my dog. At $49, this really is an excellent investment!

Purchased the tackling reactivity bundle to give it a try, and have been pleasantly surprised. My dog used to growl and bark at any dog that came into sight. Now, we are able be around other dogs and 99% of the time there is no reactivity. Life changing.

I highly recommend Spiritdog training! The Tackling Reactivity course is clear, thoughtfully arranged and thorough ! :-D Even though my current dog is not at all reactive, I am fascinated by dog psychology , behaviour and training and I completely loved the entire course!

I purchased the Spirit Dog course entitled, Tackling Reactivity, specifically because my dog is a large breed and is VERY dog reactive which causes us both great anxiety and stress. He is highly trained and well behaved after having went to a six week board and train experience but that trainer is 3 hours round trip from our home so it’s not feasible to do regular training with them on dog reactivity. I was feeling hopeless and defeated that I would be able to find a trainer to help us overcome this and I felt I needed intense, one-on-one, in-person training that wasn’t available near my small town. Then I found the Spirit Dog course!! I was immediately impressed from the very first lesson and knew if I committed to following the guidance of the course we would eventually overcome this!! The pieces on management and training to change my dogs Conditioned Emotional Response (CER) made perfect sense!! I love that you can message them anytime and they encourage you to send in videos so you can get individualized feedback!! The combination of written word and videos through the course is helpful too!! My dog and I are just getting started (we did our first training session today and it was successful!!) and I have high hopes for a better life for both of us with less dog reactivity in our future!!

I have a newly adopted dog who is very reactive and suffering from severe separation anxiety. I bought Spirit Dog’s Rescue Package, and am SO IMPRESSED and pleased with the trainings and the results my new guy and I are achieving. Steffi and her team are excellent teachers. I love the self-paced, granular lessons; the depth of experience in the team; the ways we can get personalized feedback. My boy and I have been together for a month, and working on our Spirit Dog lessons for two weeks — he’s making great progress! THANK YOU, Steffi!

My 11-yr-old rescue dog and I have been through tons of training trying to calm his reactivity. He's such a great dog in the absence of triggers, but nothing we've tried (including three different in-person trainers and another online program) has helped much. The SpiritDog Reactivity course, though, has actually been working! I've been working with him on his reactivity to the sound of other dogs barking, and since I've begun the counterconditioning exercises, he's barking noticeably less. It really helps that there are trainers to answer your questions about your specific dog and situation. It's amazing how much adding sniffing to exercises I had already tried with limited success has helped. The course is presented in a manner that's simple and easy to follow, without overwhelming you with too much information at once or leaving you wondering where to start. I'm super impressed and would highly recommend this course for others with reactive dogs!
