1st step: The Foundation for FEarful & Reactive Dogs
An Online Course for fearful and reactive dogs.
$150 ⧫ 5-week self-paced course ⧫ Lifetime access
Before exposure.
Before obedience.
Before trying to "fix" the behavior.
We regulate the nervous system first.
If your dog is fearful, anxious, reactive, shutting down, braking, lunging, or showing aggression, this is where meaningful behavior change begins.
No matter where you live - Long Beach, Los Angeles, or anywhere in the world.
Who This Course Is For
- Feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsure what to try next.
- Have been told to "just expose them more."
- Walks feel unpredictable or stressful.
- Notice their dog getting worse instead of better.
- Want to understand what's happening inside their dog, not just stop the behavior.
- Are ready to slow down so their dog can feel safe again.
This is appropriate for dogs at many stages - from early signs of stress to more established reactivity.
What 1st Step Actually Teaches and What Makes This Different
- A clear understanding of your dog's stress signals.
- Tools to reduce tension inside your home.
- A plan for helping your dog recover after stress.
- Confidence in what not to do.
- More compassion and clarity instead of panic.
Why This Is Worth the Investment
This is the exact foundation I teach in the first 4-6 weeks of private training. Instead of waiting weeks for an appointment or investing thousands upfront, you can build these skills now - from anywhere - at your own pace.
For many dog parents, this alone creates significant change. For others, it becomes the solid base that makes future training far more effective.
- You're looking for a quick fix.
- You want immediate exposure-based training.
- You're unwilling to observe and track your dog's behavior.
- You prefer fully in-person, hands-on instruction.
