A 6-module online course for sighthounds that bark, spin or lunge on the lead: find the reason, fix your side of the lead, walk past triggers with confidence, and build a walk you both actually enjoy.

A reactive walk is miserable from both ends of the lead: the scanning, the stiffening, the explosion at a dog across the road, the apologising, the walks at 5am to avoid everyone. And most advice makes it worse: corrections add pain to an already loaded moment, and 'socialisation' marches the dog straight into the thing it cannot cope with.
This course takes the working route: diagnose WHICH engine drives your dog's reactions (frustrated greeting, fear, or prey arousal, which look similar but each need their own adjustments), fix the handling mechanics that accidentally feed it, then rebuild the walk with my method: silence, confidence and calm rewarded, plus a routine that lowers the whole dog's baseline. Calm walks are trained, not wished for.
Diagnosis, then reading, then mechanics, then foundations, then the trigger work itself, then the routine that holds it all. The order is the method.
The three reactivity engines (frustration, fear, prey), why the lead itself changes behaviour, sighthound-specific patterns, and diagnosing your own dog.
The loading sequence before an outburst, exactly what to do when your dog explodes, trigger stacking across a walk, and recovery: the calm you reward.
Sighthound-correct equipment for reactive work, a short lead that is never tight, the side switch and banana curve, and why your own confidence is half the problem.
Rewarding calm without a fuss, why silence is the signal, and getting ready to walk your normal routes again.
The working loop on real walks: see it, say nothing, get between, keep walking, reward the calm. Plus engine-specific adjustments, and surviving the plateau.
The weekly walk plan, knowing your routes, lifetime maintenance, and enjoying the dog again.
Six modules from diagnosis to a walking routine you can rely on, in the real streets and parks you actually use.
