Transform Your Dog’s Behaviour with Neil’s Reactivity Program
Expert Support for Fear, Anxiety & Aggression-Based Reactivity
At Neil’s Canine Training, we take a comprehensive and science-based approach to reactive dog training, focusing on the emotional and behavioural triggers behind your dog’s reactions.
Whether your dog is:
Barking, lunging, or growling at other dogs or people
Reacting to cars, bicycles, or loud noises
Overexcited and pulling on the lead when seeing another dog
Struggling with on-lead frustration or fear-based aggression
We create a customised training plan to help reshape your dog’s response and build a calmer, more confident mindset.
What is Dog Reactivity?
Understanding & Addressing Reactive Behaviour
Reactivity is a natural response in all dogs, but when it becomes excessive or unmanageable, it can impact their well-being and quality of life.
Signs of Reactivity Include:
Barking, lunging, or snapping at other dogs or people
Overexcitement when seeing another dog, car, or cyclist
Tension or stiffness when encountering a trigger
Ignoring commands due to heightened arousal
Why Does Reactivity Happen?
Dogs react for both positive and negative reasons. Some are fearful or anxious, while others are overexcited and eager to play.
📍 Our program is designed to help dogs in Prestatyn, Rhyl, Dyserth & North Wales by identifying their specific triggers and retraining their responses.
