C.A.L.M. On the Street Reactive Dog Training
$999 CAD
6-month coaching package
Real-life reactivity support for real-world walks.
Does your dog bark, lunge, or shut down when they see other dogs, people, vehicles, or wildlife?
You’re not alone — and your dog isn’t “bad.” They’re overwhelmed. And they need more than obedience.
C.A.L.M. on the Street is a six-month, fully support program for dogs struggling with reactivity in public spaces. Whether it’s barking, pulling, freezing, or overexcitement, we work together to build emotional safety, communication, and real progress, one walk at a time.
What is Street Reactivity?
Reactivity means your dog has a strong emotional response to specific triggers such as dogs, people, wildlife, vehicles, or sounds. It may look like:
-
Barking
-
Lunging
-
Growling
-
Pulling
-
Whining or freezing
-
Or any combination of the above
Reactivity is not a personality flaw. It often reflects fear, frustration, or a mix of emotional states.
Why Management Comes First?
Changing reactive behaviour doesn't start with obedience training. It starts with stress reduction and smart prevention:
-
Understanding your dog’s reasons
-
Observing body language
-
Choosing when and where to walk
-
Giving space before it's needed
-
Preventing reactions before they begin

Our framework is rooted in four core pillars:
-
Connection & Calm
-
