Virtual Training for Challenging & Complex Behaviors
Why Virtual Training Works for Reactivity, Fear, and Anxiety
If your dog struggles with reactivity, aggression, or fear-based behaviors, you might wonder: “Don’t you need to see the behavior in person to help? Don’t you need to be there to coach me?”
Actually, no—and in many cases, it’s better if we don’t.
In traditional in-person training, the presence of a stranger can alter your dog’s behavior or create added stress. Dogs with big feelings often behave differently when a new person is present. This can mean we’re not seeing their true triggers or behaviors. But when we coach you virtually, your dog stays in their normal, everyday environment, and we get to work with what matters most: you, your dog, and the real-life situations you face every day.
We Don’t Need to See the Problem to Help You Solve It
Contrary to popular belief, we rarely need your dog to show us the behavior in a session to be effective. Our job isn’t to provoke the issue—it’s to give you the tools to prevent it, respond skillfully when it arises, and help your dog feel safer and more regulated over time. If there is something you really want to show us, capturing the behavior on video in the moment it usually happens is better than trying to recreate it during a training lesson anyway.
Through live coaching on Zoom, personalized video reviews, and individualized training, we guide you step-by-step. You’ll learn to read your dog’s body language, recognize the subtle moments you need to intervene, and implement positive reinforcement strategies that help you change your dog’s behavior.
We Can Even Join You On Walks
Thanks to technology, we can coach you live while you're out with your dog — using headphones and your phone camera, we can literally be in your ear as you navigate real-world challenges like passing dogs on walks or managing arousal around triggers. This kind of real-time support builds your confidence and skill faster than traditional training models.
