Course Summary
Self-Study | Lifetime Access | 40 Lessons across 5 Modules

Does this sound all too familiar to you?

🤦‍♀️Your dog barking, lunging & squealing at the end of the lead as you struggle to hang on.
🤦‍♀️Being dragged into bushes, across roads & down muddy tracks.
🤦‍♀️Having your arm yanked & shoulder wrenched out of it's socket


All at the mere sight, sound or smell of a small furry creature (or large furry creature)

On lead big reactions to wildlife are a common challenge for many adopters of Romanian rescue dogs (and other overseas rescue dogs & dogs in general of course!) and as many of these dogs often have to stay on a lead or long line for safety reasons, it can mean rather a lot of unpleasantness on your walks.

I've Been There! 
I hear you! I've been there! I had my very own 37 kilo's of barking, lunging, screaming dog at the slightest hint of a furry critter in the vicinity!  
Pheasants, partridges, mice, rats, squirrels, rabbits, hares, muntjac, deer, even birds in the sky! Tramp had very big feelings about them all. 

So I know firsthand just how frustrating and unpleasant it can be, walking a dog who is hugely activated by wildlife. I received a fair few injuries from Tramps insanely quick reactions to wildlife when he was younger and it's not fun I know!

But watch the video below 👇

That's Tramp now. Deer running ahead of us. Squirrels right in his path. He doesn't even break stride.

Which is why I am more than excited to have put this on-lead wildlife reactivity program together for you, walking you through the whole process I used personally with Tramp (and my clients) to reduce (and if you stick with it) eliminate those big explosions to our fabulous countryside creatures.

By the end of the program, you will have:
✅ The tools to successfully navigate wildlife on walks
✅ A stronger, more reliable connection with your dog when out in the world
✅ Taught your dog the foundation skills that help them learn to self-regulate - requiring less micro-management from you
✅ Learnt ways to provide safe, satisfying outlets for your dogs particular prey drive needs
✅ Worked through a structured process of wildlife exposure in real world situations
✅ Everything you need to enjoy calmer walks in wildlife rich places! 🐿️

Now don't get me wrong, this is not a magic wand, there is no quick fix here - let's face it, we're trying to buck mother nature! 

Yes, there is work involved, but if you work through the steps in this program, apply what you learn and commit to being consistent & practising at every stage, then you can teach your dog how to encounter wildlife without losing their mind - and it doesn't require hours of training.

How  Much time Will I Need and How Long Will it Take 
The time commitment is genuinely manageable. Teaching any new skills takes only short sessions - two to three minutes, a few times a day, and after that it's simply about integrating what you've both learned into your daily walks, and being present and focused.

As for results... I'll be honest, because I'd rather set you up for success than give you a number that doesn't hold true for your dog. How quickly things progress depends on your dog as an individual and how consistently you're able to apply the exercises. What I can tell you is that if you show up consistently and work through the program at a pace that's right for your dog, you will see change.

What About Prey Drive and Chase Behaviour
Whilst this isn't a program that goes into great detail about addressing off lead prey driven chase behaviour, I have included some of my top tips on that at the end for you as well.  

But - if your dog explodes when they see wildlife on lead, this is the first thing you need to master anyway, if you ever want to stand any chance of preventing chase or prey drive behaviour when your dog is off lead.
