Leash Reactivity Training in Sydney

Do walks with your dog feel stressful, unpredictable, or even unsafe? Does your dog bark, lunge, or pull on the leash every time another dog or person appears?

You’re not alone — and your dog isn’t “bad.” Leash reactivity is usually a sign that your dog is overstimulated, anxious, or unsure how to cope in the moment.

The good news? With personalised, one-on-one guidance, you can turn stressful walks into calm, enjoyable experiences — without frustration or harsh corrections.

Why Private Training Works for Reactive Dogs

Reactive behaviour often develops when dogs repeatedly practise over-aroused responses. In busy Sydney streets, apartment corridors, and parks, even a small trigger can spark barking, lunging, or pulling.

Private training works because it allows for:

• Customised pacing: We work at your dog’s comfort level, step by step.
• Real-life settings: Training happens in the exact places you struggle — streets, parks, and neighbourhood paths.
• One-on-one attention: Every trigger, every response, is addressed in a personalised way.

What Our Leash Reactivity Training Covers

A private program focuses on practical skills that make a real difference in daily life:

• Threshold management: Find the distance where your dog can stay calm and learn.
• Focus and engagement: Teach your dog to check in with you instead of reacting.
• Impulse control: Build the ability to make better choices when excited.
• Controlled exposure: Introduce triggers gradually, without overwhelming your dog.

Every session is tailored to your dog’s personality, energy level, and triggers, giving you tools you can apply immediately.

Why Private Training Is Ideal

Group classes are great for socialisation, but reactive dogs often benefit more from personalised attention:

• Avoids overwhelming your dog with too many stimuli
• Allows focused work on specific triggers your dog struggles with
• Builds confidence in both dog and handler
• Progresses at a pace that suits your dog’s needs

Private training ensures you get real-world results quickly and safely.

The Goal Isn’t Obedience — It’s Confidence

We don’t just aim to stop barking or lunging. Our goal is:

• Safer, calmer walks
• Reduced stress for both dog and owner
• Greater focus and responsiveness
• Confidence to enjoy outings together

By addressing the emotional root of reactivity, not just the behaviour, your dog learns lifelong coping skills.
