Reactivity programme
Personalised, force-free support for reactive dogs and their owners, in your home across Dublin.
I'm particularly passionate about helping dogs who struggle with reactivity, fear, frustration and confidence, because I know how difficult it can be when everyday things like going for a walk suddenly feel really hard.
Living with a reactive or challenging dog can be exhausting. It can leave you feeling frustrated, embarrassed or like you're constantly doing something wrong. I want you to feel supported, not judged.
I don't just want to teach your dog a list of behaviours. We look at the bigger picture: their emotions, body language, environment, management, confidence and the skills they need to cope better.
Both tiers are force-free, reward-based and built around your dog. Not sure which suits you? We'll work it out together on a call.
Tier 1
Build confidence, focus and everyday life skills.
Tier 2
Designed for Dogs Who Need a Structured Behaviour Plan
Personalised coaching, practical support and behaviour change guidance for reactive dogs: fear-based, dog-to-dog, people or other triggers.
Training prices aren't listed here. Every dog is different, so we talk about price on a call.
Tier 1 gives you the foundations and practical skills. Tier 2 takes that learning further with ongoing coaching and personalised support to help you understand and influence the emotions driving your dog's behaviour.
Dogs who struggle with reactivity often need more than an individual training session. They need a plan that can adapt as they progress.
With Tier 2, you receive additional support including:
The difference isn't more training, it's more personalised support to help you put the training into practice and keep progressing.
One to one training gives you the skills. Confident Snouts is where you use them, with other dogs present, in a setting built so nobody is pushed past what they can handle.
Tell me about your dog and what's going on. I usually reply within 24 hours.
We talk it through, I answer your questions and we work out which tier suits you, including the price.
Your consultation or behavioural assessment happens in your home, at your dog's pace.
A personalised plan, homework, video reviews and WhatsApp support between sessions.
Kelly is an excellent Dog Trainer/Walker, she has great communication skills and makes training/walking your dog really enjoyable and fun, while also being very informative, professional and keeping the sessions educational.
I would highly recommend booking a training session or walk with Kelly :)
Kelly has been walking and caring for my little Jack Russell rescue Lily for the last year. She has also done training with Lily. She is professional, warm, friendly exceptionally reliable, and above all loved by her doggie clients. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a dog trainer/minder/walker.
And Lily especially says thanks, or woof!

Training prices aren't listed on the website, because every dog is different. Send an enquiry and we'll talk about the right option, and the price, on a call.
Each tier on the reactivity programme and puppy training pages lists who it's best suited for. If you're still not sure, we'll work it out together on a call.
I usually reply within 24 hours. From there, I'll give you a call back or we'll book a discovery call to talk through what's going on and what your dog needs.
I don't offer court case reviews.
Send an enquiry and tell me about your dog. We'll start where you are.
