We took the 6 week, online, Reactive Rover Recovery class with Cassie. I cannot recommend this class enough if your dog is struggling with reactivity. We now have strong foundation skills to help our dog lower their stress and manage situations that will cause a reaction. The course is highly informative and very well organized. Cassie provides detailed instruction and has great insight and tools to help you succeed. Everything was very clear, easy to follow and well organized. Even though this is an online group class Cassie provided individual recommendations and insight in response to our questions, homework and live camera training work. We highly recommend working with Clickstart!

Our German Shepherd Pismo LOVES Clickstart! Cassie and Amanda go above and beyond training him within his comfort zone. The fact that Pismo trusts very few people but completely trusted Cassie and Amanda is proof that Clickstart is the way to go!

I have attended the group and private classes, and feel that they are extremely helpful, and definitely no judgment to the owners either.
You can tell that all the instructors truly care about the dogs’ growth and very alert to their emotions.
I enjoy the class set up too, compared to the other dog academies, because I get a break from time to time the way they structure the class (thank God - dog training is no joke… tests your patience and mental endurance)
Do check them out!

I highly recommend Clickstart if you have a reactive dog like ours. We began with the reactivity course via Zoom then had Cassie come for a handful of private visits. We feel so much more comfortable with training/handling our dog and we can tell our dog feels more comfortable in triggering situations. Thank you, Cassie!
