Reactive Dog Training in Kent and virtually
Take your dog from frenzied to calm (even if you think things are too far gone)
Darting behind bushes, walking at crazy hours, hoping to dear dog you’ll be able to hold onto the lead if your dog loses it… the telltale signs that you share your life with a fearful, frustrated or overexcited dog.
I’m sure it’s not what you imagined when you welcomed a dog into your world. And you may be feeling like nothing is going to make things any better.

Are you ready to go from frenzied to calm?
Thanks
the change is amazing!
We have been working with Rachel on the Growl Programme and even though we’ve only had a few sessions 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.
Today, we saw Rachel (in person) for the second time and Sydney is like a different dog!!! Her tail was up and she was visibly happier, as well as content doing happy zoomies in the field.
We cannot thank you enough and even though we are so early on in the program we are so pleased with the results already!!

The Reactive Dog GROWL Solution Programme
This programme is for fearful, frustrated and overexcited dogs who overreact to things in their environment. Typically we help dogs who bark, lunge or growl at other dogs, animals, or people, to change the way they feel about the world and to restore calm.
Your dog’s not giving you a hard time, they’re having a hard time. The GROWL Solution programme will help your dog overcome their struggles, so they feel better about the world.
I work with you, to guide you through reducing reactivity, establishing new habits and changing the way you both feel. It’s a partnership, and I’ll help you make yours a happy and confident one.

The difference is incredible
Our little Bonnie had become really reactive to other dogs to the point where we couldn’t take her out for a walk. We’d tried other dog trainers but nothing worked.
Bonnie went through Growl classes and has now progressed to be a part of a normal class. The difference in her is incredible.
She’s now a lot more comfortable around other dogs, and we’re a lot more confident in how to handle situations when they arise. Rachel uses nothing but love and positive reinforcement.
Thanks to Rachel, we now have our dog back and can enjoy our time together rather than dreading walks in case we come across another dog.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS?
I don’t live in Kent, can I still sign up for The GROWL Solution programme?
Yes! I offer this reactivity programme both virtually and in-person.
Training online is incredibly effective for reactive dogs, as it removes extra triggers from the environment.
Virtual access to the GROWL Solution programme is available at a reduced rate. Please book a call to discuss.
How long does the programme take?
Reactivity isn’t solved overnight, but previous students have reported significant changes worth celebrating very early on in their programme.
Do you offer payment plans?
My dog is excitable rather than reactive. Is The GROWL Solution programme right for us?
Yes, overexcited dogs need help to calm and change their responses to triggers just as much as fearful or frustrated dogs.
Both fear and excitement have the same physiological effect on your dog; their body is flooded with stress chemicals. This leads to heightened levels of arousal which makes it difficult to teach your dog alternative responses.
Depending on what’s going on with your dog, you may find our reactivity membership a better fit.
Why not jump on a free call and we’ll find the best match training for you.
I've tried other training before, how is this different?
The programme is longer than many other reactive dog training courses because I know that to achieve real and long lasting change, it takes more than a handful of sessions.
The GROWL Solution programme will give you everything you need to transform your lives and make way for the harmony and freedom you both deserve.
My dog is not food motivated. Will this still work?
I’ll work with you to find the reward your dog values and ensure their stress levels are low. If food doesn’t work for your dog, there are alternatives we can use instead.
Do you use punishment?
I will ensure that in any work we do together, both you and your dog always feel at ease, optimistic and certain that you are safe.
I have more than one dog, can I still sign up?
Your programme is bespoke to you and your family, and will be adapted to your lifestyle.
I’m at breaking point, how quickly can we start?
Book a free call with us straight away and we’ll do our best to give you some management solutions you can put into practice immediately.
We’ll get your first session booked in as soon as possible, relief is on its way!
Have a question we’ve not covered?
Want to talk to a human?
If you're not sure what solution is best for your dog, don't hesitate to reach out for a chat.
We'll ensure that you get the help and support you need.
