CAVery satisfied so far The course on reactivity is really well done. Lots of content and real examples of training sessions in different settings. There's material to download as well, and the team of trainers is very responsive when we leave a question. I've only started a week ago but already see some improvement with my dog. At $49, this really is an excellent investment!

GBHope for Overcoming Dog Reactivity Has Been Restored I purchased the Spirit Dog course entitled, Tackling Reactivity, specifically because my dog is a large breed and is VERY dog reactive which causes us both great anxiety and stress. He is highly trained and well behaved after having went to a six week board and train experience but that trainer is 3 hours round trip from our home so it’s not feasible to do regular training with them on dog reactivity. I was feeling hopeless and defeated that I would be able to find a trainer to help us overcome this and I felt I needed intense, one-on-one, in-person training that wasn’t available near my small town. Then I found the Spirit Dog course!! I was immediately impressed from the very first lesson and knew if I committed to following the guidance of the course we would eventually overcome this!! The pieces on management and training to change my dogs Conditioned Emotional Response (CER) made perfect sense!! I love that you can message them anytime and they encourage you to send in videos so you can get individualized feedback!! The combination of written word and videos through the course is helpful too!! My dog and I are just getting started (we did our first training session today and it was successful!!) and I have high hopes for a better life for both of us with less dog reactivity in our future!!

GBThank you! My dog had trouble focusing and reacted negatively to other people in public and in my home. Thanks to these courses, she's learned to focus on me, and is overcoming her fears of people. The courses offer simple, easy to follow, step by step instructions that made training so easy to implement. Working with a reactive dog is a process, but it was so wonderful to have such positive, helpful support as I worked to tranform my dog's behavior through postive reinforcement. Thank you!

GBSpiritDog training is excellent SpiritDog training is excellent. My dogs, Finn & Fletch have responded well to all the gentle, easy to understand & follow, training steps. All the responses to my questions have been most kind, courteous & patient. SpiritDog has convinced me that they have my dogs' best interest as their goal for the reactive dog course.

GBGreat improvements if you use her techniques Steffi does an excellent job of explaining and modeling what and how you are supposed to work with your dog's reactivity issues. I appreciate how she also teaches the why's without getting too technical. I learned so much and have been using her techniques on my dog as well as a neighbor's dog. I saw improvements almost immediately.
