REACTIVE DOG?
LET'S START WITH THE FOUNDATIONS.
Before we try to change your dog's reactions, let's change the way we understand them.
Does your dog bark, lunge, pull, growl, freeze or become overwhelmed when they see other dogs, people, bikes or other triggers?
Do walks leave you feeling stressed because you're constantly scanning the environment and wondering when the next reaction will happen?
You're not alone. And you don't have to figure this out alone.
The Reactive Dog Reset is a FREE mini course designed to help you understand your reactive dog, rethink the way you approach their behaviour and start building the skills you both need to move forward.
Games-based • Positive reinforcement • Practical • Designed for real life
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You love your dog. But living with their reactions can be exhausting.
Maybe...
Walks have become stressful instead of enjoyable.
Your dog barks, lunges or growls when they see another dog.
Your dog becomes overwhelmed by people, noises, movement or unfamiliar environments.
You're constantly scanning ahead and planning how to avoid triggers.
Your dog struggles to settle, even when nothing seems to be happening.
You've tried treats, commands or distracting your dog, but the changes haven't lasted.
You feel embarrassed, frustrated or helpless when your dog has a big reaction.
You're worried that you're doing something wrong.
You want to help your dog, but you don't know where to start.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
WE'RE NOT JUST TRAINING THE REACTION.
We're changing the way you understand your dog.
Reactive behaviour is what we see on the outside.
But underneath that reaction is a dog experiencing emotions, processing their environment and trying to cope with something that feels difficult.
That's why I don't believe reactive dog training should be about simply trying to stop the barking, lunging or growling.
Before we can change behaviour, we need to understand the dog behind it.
The Reactive Dog Reset will introduce you to five important shifts that can change the way you see your dog's behaviour and five practical games to help you start putting those ideas into action.
INSIDE THE FREE REACTIVE DOG RESET
5 TIPS TO HELP YOU SEE YOUR DOG DIFFERENTLY
1. UNDERSTAND YOUR DOG'S BUCKET
Your dog's ability to cope isn't unlimited.
Understanding their bucket helps you start looking at the whole picture, rather than focusing only on the reaction in front of you.
2. CALMNESS MATTERS
Before we expect our dogs to make good choices around difficult triggers, they need to have some ability to settle, recover and regulate.
Discover why calmness isn't just about having a quiet dog.
It's a skill that can give your dog a stronger foundation for everything else you're trying to teach.
3. DITCH THE ROUTINES & BUILD FLEXIBILITY
Learn how creating opportunities for flexibility can help your dog become more adaptable and better prepared for the unexpected.
4. BUILD A SOLID RELATIONSHIP & COMMUNICATION
Training isn't just about teaching your dog behaviours.
It's about building a relationship where your dog understands you, enjoys engaging with you and learns that communicating with you is worthwhile.
Discover ways to strengthen that relationship so you can begin working with your dog rather than constantly trying to manage them.
5. RECOGNIZE THE SMALL CHANGES & WINS
Behaviour change rarely happens overnight.
Learn to notice the tiny improvements that are easy to miss, a quicker recovery, a moment of hesitation before reacting, choosing to look back at you or simply disengaging from something that used to be overwhelming.
Those little moments are progress.
When you know what to look for, you can start seeing just how much your dog is learning.
NOW LET'S PUT IT INTO PRACTICE.
5 GAMES TO PLAY WITH YOUR DOG
Knowing what you should do is one thing.
Actually knowing how to put it into practice with your dog is another.
That's why the Reactive Dog Reset doesn't stop at information.
You'll also get 5 practical games you can play with your dog to start exploring these concepts together.
These games are designed to help you:
Build connection and engagement
Encourage calmness and regulation
Practice communication
Develop your dog's ability to disengage
Create positive experiences together
Start building skills that can transfer into everyday life
You don't need a perfectly behaved dog to play.
You just need a willingness to start.
WHY START HERE?
Because reactive dog training isn't about finding the one magic trick that stops your dog from reacting.
It's about building a collection of skills that help your dog become better equipped to navigate the world.
It's about learning to recognize when your dog is struggling before they explode.
It's about understanding what their behaviour is telling you.
It's about helping them learn what they can do instead.
And it's about teaching you how to become a better teammate for your dog.
The Reactive Dog Reset is your starting point.
HI, I'M KRISTEN.
I'm here to help you
understand your reactive dog.
I'm a Certified Professional
Dog Trainer and Behaviour
Coach and the founder of Fit Fido Dog Training.
I've spent years helping dog parents navigate challenging behaviour using a games-based, positive reinforcement approach.
My goal isn't simply to teach your dog to suppress unwanted behaviour.
I want to help you understand what's driving the behaviour, learn how to communicate with your dog and build skills that actually transfer into everyday life.
I believe training should be something you and your dog do together not something you do to your dog.
And you don't need a perfect dog to get started.
You just need a starting point, my FREE Reactive Dog Reset mini course is the perfect place to start.
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
Reactive dogs can make their humans feel isolated.
You might feel like everyone else is enjoying a normal walk while you're constantly watching for triggers, crossing the street or trying to keep your dog from having another big reaction.
You may even feel like you've tried everything.
But your dog isn't broken.
And you haven't failed.
There is a way forward.
Sometimes that way forward starts with changing the way we look at the problem.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE RESET?
The Reactive Dog Reset is designed to give you a starting point, not overwhelm you with everything there is to know about reactive dogs.
You'll have an opportunity to try the games, observe your dog and start noticing how these concepts apply to your everyday life.
And once you've started, you'll have options for where to go next.

Every dog and every situation is different.
If you're struggling to know what to do next, want help creating a plan or need hands-on guidance, you can book a consultation with me to talk through your dog's behaviour and determine the best next step.
WHAT IF THINGS COULD FEEL DIFFERENT?
Imagine...
Going for a walk without constantly scanning the horizon.
Understanding what your dog is communicating instead of feeling frustrated by their behaviour.
Recognizing when your dog is starting to struggle—and knowing what you can do to help.
Seeing your dog notice something that once triggered them and then choose to reconnect with you.
Having games and strategies you can actually use in everyday life.
And feeling like you and your dog are finally working together instead of working against each other.
That's what we're working toward.
