who is this for?

The Reactive Dog Revolution is for burnt out reactive dog guardians who are tired of spending a fortune only to still feel stuck with no way forward.

You want to clip on the lead and head out with confidence instead of hiding in the shadows before scurrying home with your head down out of shame and embarrassment.

I want you to know that all of this is possible for you and your dog, and The Reactive Dog Revolution is going to help you get there. My clear path from reactive to rehabilitated will mean that you can just get on with enjoying life (and walks!) with your dog. And you’ll have expert guidance from me and a community of incredible reactive dog guardians beside you to help you get there. I'm gonna give you the what and the how, but it's over to you to put it into practice with support along the way.

If you previously used punishment, such as a prong, an e-collar or a grot, you are still welcome here, but I'm going to teach you a different way where you and your dog are working in harmony with each other. You're welcome here regardless of your race, your sexuality, your gender, family structure, religion, class, wealth and disability status.

This membership is everything I wish I'd had when I started my journey with Ezra and I cannot wait to welcome you in.

my mission

My mission is a simple one: to get you and your reactive dog out enjoying adventures together, then home again to relax without worrying. So many guardians I meet spend their evenings replaying a bad walk and their mornings bracing for whatever might set their dog off next. You brought your dog home to share your life with them, and that life should include hikes and cosy evenings afterwards.

First and foremost, I am a reactive dog guardian too. I share my life with Ezra, my reactive, deaf bully and my hardest ever case. I remember how isolating it was living with Ezra and how alone I felt. Every single method in The Reactive Dog Revolution comes from rehabilitating him, and have been perfected with the hundreds of reactive dogs that I have worked with since.

I am one of you…

No two dogs are the same, and that is why the foundations of my training are built around you really understanding your unique dog so that you can become their best (and last!) ever trainer.

Because Ezra is completely deaf, everything I do is about your dog choosing to work with you. I had to find crystal clear ways to communicate with him, like tactile cues, that work without any nagging or telling him repeatedly what to do. I combine that clarity with my absolute obsession and love of dog sports and high arousal training, so I'm going to teach you how to get your dog to stay thinking when they're having the biggest of big feelings.

A method built for your unique dog

We've called it the revolution because we are turning training as you know it upside down and changing the game. Essentially, I got fed up with how reactivity is spoken about and trained, particularly by the loudest voices in the room. So, I decided to become louder.

I believe effective reactivity training should be accessible and affordable for every reactive dog guardian. If you need a reactive dog trainer but 1:1 support isn't within reach right now, this membership was built for you. The Revolution brings you my method, my support and the most incredible community of guardians who have walked in your shoes, from as little as £39 a month. Basecamp is, and always will be, completely free.

Expert support you can afford

Unapologetically working with the bold dogs, the ones who are too much, and the humans who love them.

Inside the Membership

The foundations of this course are built on 7 core strands, which are detailed below.

As a qualified teacher I really understand how humans learn as well as how dogs learn. This means that you can expect sequenced learning that is accessible regardless of your learning style or ability.

  • You wouldn't build a house on shaky foundations. My B.A.S.E Framework explores Being, Ancestry, Surroundings and Education to break down who your dog is and how we can set them up for ultimate success.

  • If your reactive dog can't focus on you when there are no triggers around, what hope do we have of getting their attention when they're overwhelmed? This part of the membership builds your relationship so you and your dog become the most connected team to ever adventure.

  • I don't want you to have a bunch of cool tricks with no practical application. Understanding training fundamentals means you'll always know how to tailor training for your dog and each scenario you encounter.

  • From what to say to where to stand, you'll know exactly what to do when a trigger is hurtling towards you and your reactive dog. If we're prepared and we have strategies for when it's all going wrong, we protect the progress you've fought so hard for.

  • At the heart of my training is the idea that your dog doesn't need to be squashed or made less. When we embrace your reactive dog's intensity, we unlock the key to their recovery.

  • These are my tried and tested reactivity methods to get long-lasting results without it taking years to get 5m closer. I'm going to teach your dog to think through their big feelings so they can keep their head and follow cues even better when the pressure is on.

  • Sharing your life with a reactive dog is hard. It's important that we support you so that you can support your dog.

  • As well as these core concepts, we will also be adding in loads of modules that will be supportive of reactive dogs day-to-day, like co-operative care and husbandry, Managing Introductions and Before Walks, to help you all get through the tricky points in your day.

challenges

Are you looking to teach your dog impulse control alongside a specific skill that you can use when you face one of your reactive dog’s triggers? Join one of my challenges.

These training packages are worth over £800 each. Your investment is just £29. Because I believe that every reactive dog guardian should have access to training that really works, without the need for a second mortgage.

You know that moment when your reactive dog locks onto their trigger, starts kicking off and you feel like you have lost control?

By joining my self-paced Touch Course you can unlock the cue that I use with every single reactive dog I work with, all taught from the comfort of your own home.

Teaching your dog this versatile training cue, will give you an amazing new system for managing the tricky moments and a backpack full of knowledge on how to train your dog when they are feeling crazy. 

A sustained hand touch gives you a way to channel your dog’s big feelings before the lead goes tight and the barking starts.

Over 5 training sessions, we are going to take your dog from zero to a rock-solid hand touch they can perform even when they are faced with distractions and having big feelings. 

Here’s how the adventure works…

Touch challenge

  • For each Step you get two videos. The Human End of the Lead gives you the knowledge that you need to teach your dog a touch; and The Dog End of the Lead shows you exactly how to apply it with your dog. Watch, rewind, and train at your own pace.

  • You will have access to the Q&A sessions that I ran when doing this challenge live so that you can get the answers to the most commonly asked questions at this stage of training.

  • A write up of the most common problems at each stage of training, and how to troubleshoot them.

  • Every challenge has its own unique iron-on patch that you can add to your dog’s bandana or lead sleeve and a certificate of completion.

  • The videos are yours to keep. Go back whenever your dog needs a refresher or you bring home a new dog who needs to start from scratch.

JOin Touch Challenge

You know that moment when you’re on a narrow pathway, you spot your reactive dog’s trigger, and there is no escape route?

By joining my Solid Sit Stay Challenge you will learn the deceptively simple cue that saves my arse with my reactive dog Ezra every, single time.

Teaching your dog this simple training cue, will give you a banging sit stay that means they can keep their cool and aren’t about to lose their shit. By teaching what you need to know for both ends of the lead, I’ll make sure you have everything you need to smash this everyday in real life, ready for when the dark nights of winter creep back in.

An excellent Sit-Stay gives you a way to channel your dog’s big feelings before the lead goes tight and the barking starts.

Over 8 weeks, we are going to take your dog from zero to a bomb proof sit-stay that they can perform even when they are faced with distractions and having big feelings.

Here is how the adventure works:

Kit has transformed our lives

My boy, Loki and I have been working with Kit for almost a month. We participated in their touch challenge. The changes Kit has made in both mine, and Loki's life, the confidence they have given us both, and the support we have received from them are immeasurable! If you have a fur baby in your life, I would still walk and not run to work with Kit at any opportunity. You will not be disappointed and your fur baby will love every minute of it!!

Tracy B

100/10 would recommend Kit's training! Zelda and I recently finished the Touch Challenge and the experience was incredible. Kit brings an amazing, enthusiastic energy to every session and breaks down the training into easy-to-follow steps that make immediate sense when working with your dog. The amount of effort Kit puts into helping you succeed is obvious. I am so glad we joined, and we're excited for the next challenge!

Bekah C

100/10 would recommend

Kit is the most amazing reactive dog specialist ever. I first found kit on Facebook while looking for some advice and help with my reactive dog. I started to follow their advice and it made so much sense. I joined kit and lots of other reactive dog guardians and have learnt so much after doing the touch Challenge which has proved to be invaluable. Their personality and work ethic is brilliant and we love them. We are so excited to join you again in the solid sit challenge.

Wendy M

I have learnt so much

Amazingly affordable price

I follow Kit on Facebook and Circle and what an absolutely amazing Dog Trainer! I can't believe just how much enthusiasm, knowledge and support for others Kit has. It's like yr part of the family with specialised Training available for such an amazingly affordable price which not only earns yr dog a certificate but a patch too, plus a weekly Q&A. This is ONE trainer you should definitely be following if you have a Reactive or as Kit says Big Feelings Dog!

Shirley E

I took part in the 5-week Touch Challenge with my dog, guided by Kit, and it was an amazing experience! The instructional videos were very clear and easy to follow. This was something I completely missed at our dog training school. I can really recommend this challenge to anyone looking to build a deeper connection with their dog while learning in a supportive and positive environment. Thank you, Kit, for this inspiring journey!

I have gained so much confidence

Came across Kit's page after seeing them training in my local town. I was so impressed that I did more investigating. Kit is amazing with both dog and human, and no question is too "silly". Kit's dedication and enthusiasm for helping our dogs have a calmer, happier, less reactive life is second to none. I couldn't afford 1:1, but the help I received in the group setting was just as supportive. I finally enjoy our walks and have gained so much confidence with my pup xx

FAQs

This isn't going to take forever and you should start to see results really quickly. But, the truth is, true behaviour change takes time, and it's so worth the hard work.

Is this a quick fix?

The course is completely self-paced, so there's no obligation to move through it at any particular rate. I often think this is like asking somebody how long it takes to learn the piano, because the answer to that question is, how many times a day are you going to practise? There is loads of support built in and loads of checkpoints along the way to help mark your progress, and you'll have access to every single thing we put up for as long as you have a membership.

How long will it take?

What if I can't make the live Q&As?

Every Q&A and webinar is recorded for you to watch in your own time if you can't make it live.

Can I switch between memberships?

Yes. You can toggle between membership tiers at any time to tailor the journey for you and your dog.

What if my dog won't take treats outside the house?

It is actually quite common for reactive dogs to not take treats outside. During the BASE module you will learn about the things you can do to motivate your unique dog that you can use instead of food. We will cover this in more depth in The Handler Engagement pathway.

Do you offer one-to-one training?

My one-to-one sessions are currently full with a waiting list. The Reactive Dog Revolution gives you my 1:1 thinking and unique methods, and the Campfires give you an opportunity to ask your training questions and I will help you troubleshoot to make sure your progress keeps moving forward.

Basecamp is, and always will be, completely free. We're also working on a scholarship program so that we can make sure everyone who needs access gets it regardless of what they can afford. We'll be releasing the details of this really soon.

What if I can't afford it?

Yes. You can cancel your membership yourself, easily, at any time. Your membership will end on your renewal date, and you'll still have full access up until then.

Can I cancel at any time?

Your adventure starts today

Join The Reactive Dog Revolution where we are proudly doing things differently. With a clear path from reactive to rehabilitated and a community who has your back every step of the way, your dream life is just around the corner.

Your dog's big feelings are welcome here, and so are you.
