REACTIVE DOG TRAINING

Providing your dog with the opportunity to mix with other dogs allows them

to have exposure an allows them to mirror and match others body language

Group Reactivity Class

Allows you to practice the skills you have learnt with me in a safe environment with other dogs within their stress and tolerance level.

Reactivity Training

"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lisa. :) She guided me through everything and answered all my questions! She worked around my busy working schedule and offered her advice even after the sessions were completed. Great communication. Great feedback. Writes a whole summary of every session for anything that may be forgotten."

Matt

Thank you for explaining all of this Lisa and how dogs brains work! I was really confused about why she was behaving this way. I've learnt alot over these sessions, thank you.

Catherine, St Albans

My dog Monty and I had a great experience working with Lisa at St Paws. I'd been struggling with him being quite nervous around other dogs, and reacting and growling as a result. We worked on association with other dogs and Lisa shared alot of things to train in to help us in different situations. It's a long process but we've definitely seen positive progress and continue to work on what Lisa has taught us. Lisa was very patient, gave lots of good insights and clearly has alot of experience and knowledge around dogs, their triggers and reactions.

Sarah, Brixton (but travelled to St Albans for the in person sessions)

I've seen a definite improvement over the course of the sessions.

Karen

We can leave him longer than in the first week now. It feels we are heading in the right direction.

Tracey

Lisa is a calm well organised teacher - Tyson has really enjoyed and was relaxed in the classes. Lisa made it fun.

Kam

Lisa is great! Very passionate and knowledgable.

Matt

We like that you are proactive in getting to know the puppies and checking on their progress. Being able to ask questions to get answers tailored to our issues. We also really liked tips on recall, like, "touch" command or "spin" to divert dog's attention from jumping.

Michael

The sessions were fun!

Kirsty

Lisa is very clear and understanding in helping us through the training and very patient. I felt listened to and Lisa answered all my questions with background explanations to clarify, which was very helpful

Sarah, St Albans

The children found Lisa very helpful, friendly and informative. She was very inclusive with them, and did not make any of us feel that we asked a silly/pointless question.

Naomi

Lisa was amazing and the training techniques were so useful. She understood our dogs needs, listened to our concerns and it was great working with her!

Jane

Lisa was great at formulating and communicating the plan. She provided amazing support not only during sessions but over messages and calls in between. Lisa was particularly kind. I am finding the experience difficult and she has showed amazing compassion which I really appreciate. I was surprised by the level of support and advice Lisa provided. She goes above and beyond her responsibilities and shows clear understanding and knowledge, as well as a love and passion for what she’s doing. She also displays good humour which I always appreciate! The literature, links and videos she sent me has been extremely useful. Lisa does not advocate for punitive techniques which had been advised to me by countless people. She explained to me why these are not effective.
I am very glad I chose her to help me with my puppy and I feel confident that with her help I’ll have a happy, well trained canine companion.

Josie

We wished we had met you when we first got our Boxers. In puppy class there was too much focus on theory and not enough action. The techniques are working really well.

David, St Albans

The techniques you showed us in the first session have been a fantastic. My friend noticed the difference straight away.

Ruth, St Albans

We enjoyed Lisa's expertise and teaching style. It made us feel comfortable. We wouldn't change a thing about the classes, we found them so so helpful. We are so sad the classes have ended.

Jo

I'd really recommend the reactivity course

Karen

I've just had such a positive walk paying attention to his body language - he played nicely on the open space with a little white dog (they were doing mirrored play bows) until she rolled over and I called him back to me. He came back straight away :)

Kate

She aw a dog and didn't bark.. I was astounded!

Rosalind

Seeing Poppy make clear progress each week and explanations from Lisa (based on her knowledge of dog behaviour) of why and how to use different approaches was a highlight of class.

Elisabeth

Nora is doing well, she's much better behaved!

Ella

Arlo is doing brilliantly! We have implemented your suggestions and are doing the decompression walks.

Jack

Just a quick note to say thank you for today and it was so lovely to meet you - you have such a lovely kind, calm nature which is just what she needs.

Emma

We had a big win.... our dog came over to us for treats instead of chasing our cat in the garden.

Tamsin

She didn't react to a big dog today at all! It was such a game changer practicing. She's so much better at meeting dogs this week.
