It’s time to get clear on how to train your reactive dog in just 14 days of learning with force-free training methods!
Life as a reactive dog guardian can be so overwhelming and anxiety-inducing.
We get it, we’re reactive dog guardians too!
When it comes to starting training with your reactive dog, it might feel like you’ve tried everything.
You’re following all of the popular dog training accounts on Instagram and TikTok…
You’re reading blog post after blog post after blog post…
You’re listening to podcast episodes about dog training and reactive dogs…
You’re even reading dog training books trying to find the answers…
You’ve Googled “how to train my reactive dog” dozens of times…
You’ve watched hours of dog training videos on Youtube at this point…
The advice you’ve been reading is contradictory, the content you have consumed hasn't told you what to do, you’re just getting bits and pieces, and you don’t know which training games to even start with.
Maybe you’re even feeling anxious about going outside with your dog to practice your training. Or worse, your dog immediately starts reacting the second you get outside. All of this is overwhelming and leads to staying inside and procrastinating that training for another day.
That’s exactly why we created our 14-Day Reactivity Challenge!
And yet, you still don’t know where the heck to start!
When it comes to putting pencil to paper, and paws to the pavement, it can be a lot to tackle alone.
And hey - you are absolutely not alone in these feelings.
Before we became professional dog trainers, we felt the exact same way.
It wasn’t until we developed our “toolbox” of daily training games and habits that things began to feel less overwhelming… and progress felt more achievable.
It’s this exact toolbox and roadmap that we’ll be giving to you in our 14-Day Reactivity Challenge so that you can finally start training your reactive dog in a way that is accessible and attainable.
Let us help you learn more about how to train your reactive dog!

Hi, we’re Logan and Emily!
We’re multi-certified positive reinforcement-based dog trainers, neurodivergent humans, and guardians to our own reactive dogs.
We know what it’s like to wade through endless advice, trying to piece together a solution that actually works for you and your dog. We believe that dog training is more than knowing the theory & the training games.
As neurodivergent people, we need training strategies that work with our unique and individual brains.
Our Training Approach
Force-Free
Our training is rooted in kindness, compassion, and positive reinforcement.
We always strive to avoid using punishment and stick to evidence and science-based methods.
Collaborative
We aren’t those “we tell you what to do and that’s it” trainers.
We work with you, ensuring that you feel good about the training. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!
Choice-Based
We strive to provide choice and agency for both you and your dog!
Our goal is to keep training fun and never force you or your dog to do anything that you don’t want to do.
“Logan and Em break down training into very manageable and easy to understand steps that makes working with my sensitive dog less overwhelming and more fun for both me and my dog!”
What challenge students are saying!
“I really enjoyed this challenge! The videos were easy to follow and the structure of the course helped bring a lot of difficult concepts together in an easy and fun way.”
“The videos are clear, easy to follow, fun to watch, and engaging. The variety of ways to consume information was super helpful to my constantly scattered brain, and I loved the examples!”
“The variety of ways to accomplish the tasks, and the fact that you both had real-world examples with your own dogs - it made me feel so much less alone!”
“I gained some really useful skills that I can't wait to put to use with my reactive dog, I had a really good time learning and engaging with the course content, and Em + Logan were great throughout!”
“I loved the format of the challenge and the website with the combination of instructional videos, demo training videos, worksheets, and I especially liked the inclusion of the real world videos.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This challenge is for you if your dog barks, lunges, growls, freezes, or shows otherwise over-reactive behavior around any sort of trigger. This could be other dogs, people, skateboards, cats - you name it. This challenge is also for you if you feel that your dog is more “excited” or “fearful” than “reactive.”
-
Absolutely not! Each day you’ll get an email letting you know that the day’s lesson is available, but you’ll have access to the content forever… so there’s no rush! We understand that life (and a squiggly brain) gets in the way of training sometimes. So, take it easy and go at your own pace!
-
Each daily lesson will have video content that takes under 10 minutes to watch. If the challenge for that day is to play a training game with your dog, we suggest setting aside 3-5 minutes just once or twice a day to train your dog. You can complete each day’s challenge while your pasta water boils or your coffee brews!
