1-to-1 Reactive Dog Training in Trowbridge, Wiltshire

Personalised support for dogs who bark, lunge, struggle around triggers or find the world overwhelming.

Specialising in helping owners understand the emotions behind their dog's behaviour, not just the behaviour itself. 

Living with a reactive dog can be stressful and isolating. Walks that should be enjoyable can become something you dread as you constantly watch for other dogs, people or situations that may trigger a reaction.

If you're feeling frustrated, embarrassed or unsure what to do next, you're not alone.

At Dog Knose, I provide one-to-one reactive dog training designed to help you understand your dog's behaviour and develop practical strategies that work in real life.

Does Your Dog...

• Bark at other dogs?

• Lunge on the lead?

• Growl or snap when worried?

• Become overwhelmed in busy environments?

• Struggle to settle around distractions?

• Seem anxious, fearful or frustrated on walks?

These behaviours are often signs that your dog is finding something difficult rather than trying to be "dominant" or "stubborn".

Understanding why your dog reacts is the first step towards helping them feel safer and more confident.

How 1-to-1 Training Can Help

Every dog is different, which is why one-to-one sessions allow us to focus specifically on your dog's individual needs.

Together we can work on:

• Understanding your dog's triggers

• Reading body language and stress signals

• Lead handling skills

• Building focus and engagement

• Confidence building

• Managing real-life situations

• Reducing barking and lunging behaviours

• Creating calmer and more enjoyable walks

You'll leave each session with practical exercises and strategies that you can continue to use at home and on your walks.

My Approach

I use reward-based, science-led training methods that focus on helping dogs feel safe and understood.

Rather than trying to suppress behaviour, we work to understand the emotions driving it and teach dogs alternative ways of responding to situations they find challenging.

My aim is to help both ends of the lead feel more confident.

Why I Understand Reactive Dogs

My own dog, Majo, has experienced reactivity, so I understand first-hand the challenges that owners face.

I know what it's like to avoid certain routes, worry about unexpected encounters, and feel frustrated when walks don't go to plan.

That personal experience, combined with professional training knowledge, allows me to support owners with empathy as well as practical solutions.
