Reactivity

It's hard on you and it's hard on your Dog

Dog Reactivity is one of the most stressful things a Dog Owner can face. It can take the enjoyment out of walking your Dog. Many owners either choose to stop their walks or walk at times of day or night when they are least likely to meet other Dogs. This often leads to a feelings of guilt. Guilt, because the Dog isn't  being walked. Guilt, because you may feel you're not doing the right thing by your Dog. And, guilt because you don't know what to do. 


However, simply put, you don't know what you don't know


It's not your fault!


The good news is, I do, and you can get all the help and support you need.


Not only that, I absolutely love working with Reactive Dogs. the difference I can make with your Dog's life and yours, as a result of the work I do, gives me a great sense of achievement. It's why I'm proud to be Midlothian's No1 Reactivity Specialist 


Reactive Dog Packages


Training with you and for you - packages to suit you and your dog's needs - get in touch using the form below to request a services menu.


I will be your Dog Trainer, but not only that I will be your Coach, at your side, on your walks. You will gain confidence, know you are doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time. 


Bespoke Packages

Training for you, and, training with you.

As well as being your Dog Trainer, and your Coach, I will train your Dog for you as well. We'll start with a training session, and then I can do the work for you, to fully support you throughout the package (and beyond). You'll attend one or two sessions during the package and also at the end, so you understand what to do when you're on your own with your Dog


Ongoing Support

It doesn't end with the above, I'll be there for you, for as long as you need my support. We'll get fantastic results with the packages, but this will give you peace of mind ongoing. Your Dog will gain more confidence and so will you.

Do you feel lonely and isolated with your reactive dog?


Do you know what to do when your dog lunges and barks?


Do you understand your dogs behaviours?


What a wonderful client testimonial from Cailin and Serge the German Shepherd Dog. Cailin and Serge can now walk by other dogs in the street and at the park without Serge reacting.

Pam & Otto, the German Shepherd

Reached out to Nick for his 3 week walk and train package to get us back on track with our 18month Vizsla after experiencing increasing reactivity with other dogs and recall going completely out the window. This really helped gain our confidence back and by training alongside Nick we saw some quick results from our efforts. Nick showed us techniques to manage Jura's reactivity, explaining dogs body language and spotting triggers. All the way from the meet and greet to the end of week 3, Nick was extremely calm and patient with Jura and us! I definitely recommend Nick to anyone seeking support with training and figuring out ways to deal with any behavioural issues. Looking forward to continuing with a few more 1 to 1s and keep building on the progress made in the last 3 weeks

Otto has had 9 sessions with Nick. Yesterday we went up to unleashed with the dummie dogs and I couldn't believe how well Otto had come on with his training lessons.

Nick goes above and beyond just training the dogs, he really cares for their welfare and makes such a difference to their lives. Otto has always been anxious and lead aggressive, but he come on so far since Nick started his training. I know I still have a lot of work but I have been given the best tools yo help me do it with Nick.

Highly recommend him to anyone with a dog that has issues.

Thanks Nick

Sam & Beau, the Beagle

Nick is very friendly, calm and empathetic in his approach and puts you at ease when feeling overwhelmed with your dogs behaviour. He listens to the difficulties you and your dog are experiencing with genuine interest and care. 

Nick first helped out my Beagle, Beau, with a walk and train package last year. Beau is now experiencing reactivity and I contacted Nick again for help. 

Nick was open and honest at the meet and greet about what could help Beau and the timescales. I felt under no pressure to go ahead with training after the meet and greet which I appreciated. Nick explained some of the strategies he will use and suggested some reading for me to give me an idea of what training may look like moving forward. 

I recommend Nick if you and your dog are in need
