What people have asked about this business.

I read through the particulars for the online reactivity training but where is the price?? I don't want to give out my personal information when I don't even know the cost. Thank you

Hi @singsong girl. There is no cost for the online reactivity course. Here is a link to where it notes that it is a free course https://onlineschool.instinctdogtraining.com/course/training-leash-reactive-dog Thanks for asking!

Alan has had his intro session and 3 training sessions in the last 30 days and he's already a brand new dog! Kaysha is excellent and works with your situation allowing for successful training measures! Very thankful for her coaching and am excited to see more results! Pictured is Alan doing "two paws"which has helped with his reactivity on leash. Even his separation anxiety has gotten better! Night and day! If you're concerned about the price, please realize that this is an investment in safety for the lifetime of your dog! Well worth it! Thank you Kaysha!

Poppy has been a stellar advocate for my pup and has provided clear and effective methods to help with his reactivity. My dog adores her and every experience has been really positive. Poppy has gone out of her way to bring props, arrange a meetup, and provide plenty of treats. She is very communicative and always punctual. My dog has made long-lasting progress from the first session. I highly recommend Poppy and Instinct.

Working with Instinct trainer Claire has been a transformational experience for my 2-year-old pup (and me as well). She employs clear, effective techniques and builds layered skills that are helping the dog work through some of the phobias and quirks he's developed (while helping me learn how to reinforce the training). She is adaptable and thinks quickly on the fly as well, pivoting to help us navigate new challenges. And Claire remains highly engaged between sessions, too, answering questions and thinking about things for us to work on. In short, the training support is as wonderful as the sessions themselves.

We have been working with Beth for our Pomeranian rescue who was extremely fearful and reactive. We have seen his confidence improve tenfold, and Beth showed us how to understand his body language and make him feel safe. He is a very happy boy and learning new things every day!

I rescued a young puppy from a rough environment and as a result of trauma, he is very dog reactive. I explored and tried a few training and desensitization options to no avail. I had heard about Instinct through our local board certified veterinary behaviorist. After the hour of our first session with our counselor, I felt enormous relief having a structured plan in place!
