Discover The Step By Step Plan To Calm Your Reactive Dog And Transform Your Life To One Of Peace And Happiness
Solving reactivity in dogs the SAFER® way
The Growl Solution Programme
Reactivity is tough on both your dog and you. All the hopes and dreams you had for life with your dog have shattered and you might be left feeling isolated, embarrassed and at your wits end.
What will happen if you don’t get your dog’s erratic behaviour under control?
Are things going to get worse?
Is your dog a bite risk?
These are all common questions that reactive dog owners share with me.
The fear may have started within your dog, but that fear is now spilling over and leaving you worried about what the future holds.
Reactivity in dogs happens for a reason.
But it’s not something to blame yourself for.
Your dog barks, lunges and growls because it’s the only mechanism they have to keep things that scare them at a distance.
But together, we can teach your dog an alternative way to secure the safety they crave, without having to resort to whirling around on the lead, getting worked up and stressed out.
What is a reactive dog?
A reactive dog is a dog who overreacts to stimuli in their environment.
The stimuli which evokes a reaction can differ; it might be moving objects like bikes, joggers or scooters, other dogs/animals, or people.
Typically a reactive dog becomes fixated on a stimuli, often referred to as a trigger, and will bark, lunge or growl until the ‘thing’ goes away.
This sequence of behaviour is very effective in your dog’s eyes.
Inevitably, the stimuli they want to leave will eventually go away – and your dog associates their barking/lunging with achieving the disappearance of the scary thing.
How to train a reactive dog
Through combining an increased sense of safety, boosting confidence and teaching your dog new responses to their triggers, your dog will no longer feel the need to routinely bark, lunge and overreact to feel safe.
To calm your reactive dog and reduce outbursts, we need to
Lower our dog’s stress levels to diminish reactions
Increase your dog’s sense of safety so confidence can grow
Improve two-way communication, to prevent reactive outbursts
Change how your dog feels about their triggers, so they can stay calm

"Fantastic training course. Bugsy is no longer a reactive dog thanks to Canine Connections Growl Solution Program. Rachel is very supportive. I really recommend this program if you have a reactive dog."
Nicola Birch
"We have been working on the reactivity course and even though we've only done a few modules the change in our dog Sydney is amazing!!
Sydney is a very anxious and reactive American Bulldog X French Mastiff and has previously caused us no end of sleepless nights!!! We used to walk at silly o'clock in the morning and evening and dread each time, through fear of bumping into any other dogs, cats, wildlife etc. But now (slowly but surely) changes are happening.
This is all through Rachel's training methods and advice. We cannot thank you enough and even though we are so early on in the course we are so pleased with the results already"
Steph and Sydney
"I am very grateful to The growl programme. A 12 week course, during which I learnt how to support my fearful dog and manage with his reactivity.
My dog has learnt to focus on me and trust me when he feels threatened. I've learnt to read my dog and listen to his needs. We know each other better and our bond now allows us to be less fearful and anxious during our walks. I would recommend this course to every dog owner, and definitely to those who are struggling with their fearful, overexcited or frustrated dogs."
