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!

I am impressed with how responsive this company is. I have asked a few questions and got answers within 24 hours. My dog is responding very well to the training. I feel so much more in control. There is so much content! I am happy that I purchased the complete package. I love having different ideas about increasing my relationship with my dog. My puppy is very active, and there are so many ideas to help him be calm and obedient. It is so fun to see him progress and learn, I am looking forward to having a dog that will be welcome anywhere I take him.

I new about the counterconditioning training before, but the course gives more examples to try on. I also like, that the reads and the videos are short, so I am able to do the course during my work. I wonder if my example would be interesting to mention. My dog is reactive to other dogs, especially small breeds and those, who barks at their fences. So we continued passing the fenced barking dogs in the neibourhood, keeping the distance and doing sniffing. Now my dog can pass these situations almost without paying attention to barking dogs behind the fence. I understand, it’s not the best option to use others reactive dogs for training.

I've been working through the SpiritDog Ultimate Puppy Program and am really delighted with the quality. The videos are short and clear, the customer service is amazing, and it's all round a brilliant resource. I have enjoyed it so much that I've signed up for the masterclass bundle. Many thanks for this fantastic training!

SpiritDog training is excellent. My dogs, Finn & Fletch have responded well to all the gentle, easy to understand & follow, training steps. All the responses to my questions have been most kind, courteous & patient. SpiritDog has convinced me that they have my dogs' best interest as their goal for the reactive dog course.

This course is amazing. I've learned so much so far! My dog and I have made so much progress with his reactivity in just 2 weeks of starting this course. Knowing his threshold and using the snuffle mat have helped so much! I'm excited for his future!

I have a two year old Border Collie, which has been a pleasure to raise from the start. But this summer, just before she turned two, she suddenly started to react on every thing and nothing, barking at everything and notthing. Like she sees gosts or hear something that we do not hear. And she is also very reactiv in a happy way when visitors turns up at our door. I would say crazy. I am determined that my second border collie would be a very tranquille dog, but now she is far from that. After following a few courses we already see changes in her mind and behavier, and I am so pleased to see that we do not need to work very hard on her to calm her down, just by using the sniffing trix. I am very happy that I bought the course. :) My name is Bente and we live in Norway by the way.

My dog had trouble focusing and reacted negatively to other people in public and in my home. Thanks to these courses, she's learned to focus on me, and is overcoming her fears of people. The courses offer simple, easy to follow, step by step instructions that made training so easy to implement. Working with a reactive dog is a process, but it was so wonderful to have such positive, helpful support as I worked to tranform my dog's behavior through postive reinforcement. Thank you!
