Edinburgh Reactive Dog Training

Take your dog from RUUUUFF to UNRUFFLED

Does your dog bark first and ask questions later? Do you have leash acrobatics and wild behaviour on every walk?

You might feel your dog is aggressive but the underlying cause behind reactive dog behaviour is often fear. Those whirling outbursts are your dog’s way of warning off whatever is making them feel frightened.

Sharing your life with a reactive dog can feel incredibly lonely at times.

Instead of meeting up with friends for dog walks or having a little chat with other walkers, you spend your time dodging everything and hoping not to see a soul.

When you got your dog this isn’t at all what you imagined.

That portable pub dog dream is out the window, and you might not even be able to have friends over. Your world has shrunk and your dog is struggling too.

It’s time to start training your reactive dog

I’ve walked in your shoes, and whilst it might feel impossible, I’m happy to tell you that things can get better.

When I first adopted Flash, I cried regularly. I took him to training classes and I felt soaked in embarrassment at every single session.

Through training Flash got better. In fact, he progressed to become a therapy dog, bringing joy and relief to people in care homes across Edinburgh.

Your dog can be helped, they can overcome their fears, and they can grow in confidence and realise the world isn’t such a scary place afterall.

27/4 access to me – your reactivity wing-woman

You’re never left to figure anything out alone. I’m on hand 24/7 throughout your programme so you can get all the support you need. I’m just a message away.

A basic movement, posture & gait assessment

It’s not uncommon for reactivity to be accompanied by undiagnosed pain, this assessment will consider whether there are any physical concerns affecting your dog’s behaviour.

A welcome pack of my favourite training treats

A positive approach to training is essential to help your dog overcome their fears. I’ll bring along a pack of delicious treats to our first session, to start forming positive associations from the get-go.

An enrichment toy or training aid to help grow confidence

Playing and using your dog’s brain helps your dog grow in confidence. I’ll bring along a training aid or toy for you to keep and show you how to use it!

Private Facebook community with people who UNDERSTAND

We couldn’t have made it through without her!

Suzanne has always been so encouraging, supportive and responsive to panicked emails or WhatsApps on some of our lowest days! We couldn’t have made it through this difficult dog training period without her and Ottie is a much more relaxed and confident dog for it.

Suzanne has always been so patient in her approach and gave us the tools and self-belief to be better owners for Ottie. Approaching Suzanne was the best decision we made for both us and Ottie!

A fantastic service that I can’t recommend highly enough!

Our Romanian rescue dog, Panda, was really struggling with reactivity with people and especially other dogs. Throughout our time with Suzanne Panda has improved a huge amount. We had tried other trainers who weren't equipped to deal with the complexity of what Panda presented with.

What really makes Suzanne great is that she also worked on our confidence and helped us to not be as anxious when out with Panda. She is also available 24/7 for any and all questions in relation to Panda's training - she provided a really fantastic service that I can't recommend highly enough!

She supported me as much as she supported Fitz!

Suzanne’s programme gave us new tools for supporting Fitz in his daily struggles with meeting dogs outdoors and scary people/objects. She also gave us a really comprehensive approach to having strangers in our home.

In fact we had a brand new person in recently, without any barking or growling at all! Suzanne provides thorough notes after each session and I always felt I could ask follow-up questions. She supported me as much as she supported Fitz!
