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.

1st step: The Foundation for FEarful & Reactive Dogs

An Online Course for fearful and reactive dogs.

>

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.

This Is Not For You If

  • 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.

This course requires patience, consistency, and trust in science-based methods.

Course Details

  • 5-week structured course
  • 30+ video lessons
  • Approximately 30 worksheets and tracking tools
  • Lifetime access
  • Self-paced format
  • Optional upgrade path available for those who want guided support
  • Available online — serving Long Beach, Los Angeles, and dog parents worldwide

Who This Course Is For

This course is for dog parents who:

  • 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.

It's also for dog parents who are waiting for a consultation or private training and want to start building foundations immediately.

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

Most training programs focus on modifying behavior through exposure and skill-building. 1st Step focuses on something more foundational: nervous system regulation.

Inside this course, you'll learn how to:

  • Reduce daily stress and prevent flooding.
  • Stop accidental overexposure.
  • Learn how to read your dog's body language accurately.
  • Understand why your dog reacts.
  • Build management routines that lower stress at home.
  • Create the conditions where learning becomes possible.

This is not avoidance. It is preparation. When the nervous system is calm enough, behavior change becomes sustainable.

What You'll Walk Away With

By the end of this course, you'll have:

  • 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.

Calmer behavior doesn't start with pushing. It starts with safety.
