Management Skills for Reactive Dogs
Help your dog feel safe, calm, and in control—no matter what the world
throws at them.
Is your dog pulling on the lead, barking at everything that moves, or freezing with fear in new places?
Do you find yourself saying “It’s okay” or “Just keep walking”... but nothing really helps?
I have to admit—many loving dog owners feel exactly like this.
And I want you to know something straight away:
it’s not your fault.
You just haven’t been taught how to help your dog in a way that truly works with their emotions.
That’s exactly why I created this course—Management Skills for Reactive Dogs—to give you clear, compassionate tools that help your dog feel safer, calmer, and more confident in a busy, noisy world.
🌿 This course is for you if...
- Your dog reacts to other dogs, bikes, scooters, loud noises, or new people.
- You’re tired of guessing what to do when your dog seems anxious or out of control.
- You want to build trust without shouting, yanking, or “tough love.”
- You wish your dog could just relax and enjoy being outside.
"Agnes helped us hugely with training our puppy."
She gave us valuable information and lessons that we will continue to work on. She helped us understand our puppy’s needs and really cares. Brynley loved her.

- Why talking too much (“It’s okay, keep going!”) makes things worse—and what to do instead.

- Touch – for connection and redirection

"We recently completed a 6-week puppy training program with Agnes, and we couldn’t be happier with the results".
From the very beginning, she took the time to personalise her teachings to fit the unique needs of our puppy. Her dedication was evident as she provided detailed comments on every video we sent throughout the program, helping us improve step by step.
She was incredibly patient with both us and our puppy, ensuring we felt comfortable and confident in every session. Thanks to her guidance, we learned so many valuable skills and are now more connected to our puppy than ever before.
Her deep understanding of dogs is remarkable. She knows exactly how to communicate with them and teach us to do the same. I would highly recommend Agnes to anyone looking for an exceptional dog trainer. We are grateful for her expertise and kindness".

🐶 Why it matters…
When your dog is reactive -overwhelmed, their brain goes into
panic mode.
They’re not being “stubborn” or “naughty”—they’re scared, overstimulated, and unable to think.
But when you learn these management skills, you become your dog’s
safe place.
You learn how to bring their emotions down, so their brain can open up again—and that’s when real learning happens.
Dive into what the course includes:
🦴 The "Find It" Technique
What You’ll Learn:
A playful and easy way to redirect your dog’s attention by scattering treats on the ground. This turns stress into curiosity, helping your dog focus on sniffing and searching instead of reacting to distractions like bicycles, barking dogs, or sudden movement.
Why It Matters:
When your dog feels overwhelmed, this cue gently brings their brain out of panic mode. It encourages movement, builds a positive outdoor association, and gives your dog something rewarding to do—even when the world feels a bit too much.
🐾 The "Touch" Cue
What You’ll Learn:
A focused, interactive cue where your dog touches your hand with their nose—giving them a job, a moment of connection, and a quick mental reset.
Why It Matters:
Whether you’re waiting outside a shop or navigating a busy street, this cue keeps your dog’s mind engaged and on you. It’s a brilliant way to strengthen your bond, create positive reinforcement moments, and help your dog stay emotionally regulated in public places.
🐍 The “Snake” Technique
What You’ll Learn:
A guided movement exercise where you lead your dog in a gentle weaving motion—like a snake! It becomes your go-to tool for building focus, teaching patience, and working through moments of high energy or reactivity.
Why It Matters:
“Snake” is a game-changer for dogs who jump, pull, or go into overdrive in stimulating environments. It keeps their attention fully on you, encourages impulse control, and helps to unblock the brain when the emotional temperature rises. It’s especially helpful outside shops, around triggers, or when your dog needs to reset. Plus, it teaches self-regulation and supports the calm mindset you want on walks.
Includes fun training games for you and your dog to enjoy together

"Agnes has proved to be a miracle worker for Milo!"
We found Agnes by accident and I’m so pleased we did! After going to multiple trainers with little improvement in Milo’s behaviour, we were looking for someone with a holistic approach.
Her practical training is excellent but she’s combined this with really getting to know Milo as an individual and his fears and triggers. Her Emotion Code sessions have done wonders for Milo’s anxiety in public spaces. And her practical training tips and advice have helped us improve his and our confidence when walking him.
Forever grateful!
