Their flagship program, Reactive Dog Reset, is an online course grounded in peer-reviewed research and positive-reinforcement methods, with no aversive tools or punishment. The program includes 29 video lessons, research explainers, real-world counterconditioning demos, and downloadable tools focused on emotional regulation, not just obedience. They also offer small-group pack walks and free resources for dog owners. The team emphasizes transparency, teaching not just “how” to train but “why” methods work, making it ideal for owners who’ve tried other programs without success. Their approach is holistic, addressing health, trauma, and brain science alongside behavior. They serve clients remotely nationwide and in Long Beach, California.
