Transforming Reactivity & Anxiety - 

For Both Ends of the Lead

Game-based training & mindset support

to help you and your dog thrive

Helping Anxious, Fearful & Reactive Dogs - And the Humans Who Support Them

When your dog struggles with reactivity, anxiety, or frustration, it’s never just about training - it’s about emotions. French Bulldogs and small bull breeds are incredibly sensitive and intuitive, often mirroring their owners’ feelings.

 

That’s why I focus on both ends of the lead, blending science-backed behaviour methods, playful game-based training, and mindset support to create real, lasting change.

🐾 For French Bulldogs & Small Bull Breeds:

✅ Reactivity & frustration - growling, lunging, barking, biting
✅ Selective social skills - struggles with other dogs, play escalation, overexcitement
✅ Separation anxiety - high attachment, whining, destructive behaviours
✅ Resource guarding - protecting food, toys, or spaces
✅ Overarousal & frustration intolerance - jumping, nipping, excessive barking
✅ Mouthiness & impulse control issues - bully breeds love to use their mouths!
✅ Multi-dog household dynamics - living with other dogs in harmony
✅ Common breed struggles - stubbornness, boredom, excessive energy, sensitivity

🧠 For Pet Parents & Pet Professionals:

 

✅ Burnout & frustration from dealing with stubborn but sensitive dogs

✅ Managing imposter syndrome & self-doubt in training

✅ Building confidence when dealing with strong-willed dogs

✅ Reducing stress around challenging behaviours in affectionate but intense breeds

Wherever you are in your journey, we’re here to support both ends of the lead.

Training That Feels Like Play – But Works Like Magic

Traditional training can feel like a chore, but what if you could help your dog make better choices in just a few minutes a day - by simply playing games?

Every dog has a unique personality - some are bold and confident, others more cautious or easily distracted. French Bulldogs and small bull breeds, in particular, have big personalities - your Frenchie might be an excitable whirlwind or a laid-back observer, but all dogs have one thing in common… They learn best when they’re having fun!

 

That’s why our training approach is designed specifically for these breeds. Smart, sensitive, and deeply connected to their owners, these breeds can also be surprisingly challenging to train. They thrive on fun, engagement, and connection, which is why our approach is built around game-based learning—a powerful, science-backed way to reshape behaviour in a way that feels natural and rewarding for your dog.

✅ No more forcing behaviours - just smart, playful training that works.
✅ Turn training into a daily bonding experience instead of a battle.
✅ Watch your dog develop key life skills - like focus, calmness, and confidence.

With our Healing Behaviour Plan, we’ll prescribe tailored games designed specifically for your dog’s needs, helping them learn in a way that feels instinctive and enjoyable.

🔹 Struggling to guide your pup in the right direction? We’ve got you.


🔹 Not sure how to teach key skills without frustration? We can help.

WHAT OTHER GAMECHANGERS ARE SAYING

We went for our first weekend trip since getting Zoe, so absolutely everything we did was completely new to her. I was a fair bit worried about how she’d take so much novelty but she went above and beyond my expectations!
