As a Certified CARAT Assessor, I am uniquely qualified in teaching humans “why” their dog is responding a certain way. For example, training the reactive dog is much different than training the pushy, persistent vocal dog. 

Similarly, it is essential to understand if your dog is Resource Guarding or Rule Setting before you try to change them.

Have you been told your dog is reactive? Most reactive dogs I work with are not actually reactive at all. If your training is not working, maybe you have the wrong diagnosis – I can identify the difference between reactivity, excitement, frustration and persistence in the dogs I meet.

Some dogs are simply vocal and persistent to get to what is important to them, this is not reactivity but a purposeful, confident, highly aroused dog that needs a different approach.
