The Reactivity Package

Private Lessons

Reactivity Training Package

This program is designed specifically for dogs who struggle with emotional triggers that may show up as barking, lunging, growling, or snapping. These reactions often happen when a dog sees another dog, a person approaching the home, someone passing the fence or window, or even while out walking on leash. While these behaviours can feel overwhelming and stressful, they are usually rooted in fear, frustration, or over-arousal rather than true “aggression.”

Through this package, we will work together to:

  • Identify what is driving your dog’s reactive behaviours.

  • Teach you how to read gyour dog’s body language so you can recognize early signs of stress before an outburst happens.

  • Implement a personalized counter-conditioning and desensitization plan to help your dog feel safer, calmer, and more in control in the presence of their triggers.

  • Build alternative behaviours and coping strategies so your dog learns what to do instead of reacting.

You’ll receive four private one-on-one sessions (1 hour each), allowing us to go at your dog’s pace and adjust the plan as needed. By the end of the program, you’ll feel more confident handling your dog and your dog will have the tools to begin making positive changes.

The Essentials Package

Private Lessons

Most Adult Dog Students Start Here! For dogs over the age of 8 months (aged out of puppy class).
Private Training Lessons

Our private lessons are tailored to meet you and your dog exactly where you are—literally and figuratively. We teach sessions in the comfort of your home or, when appropriate, in real-world settings such as parks or dog-friendly stores. This flexibility ensures your dog learns skills in the environments where they matter most.

Whether you’re raising a new puppy, welcoming a rescue dog, or addressing common behaviour challenges, we’ve got you covered. Training goals may include:

  • Establishing strong foundations for a new puppy.

  • Helping a rescue dog adjust smoothly to their new home.

  • Solving everyday challenges like jumping up, counter surfing, nipping, and mouthing.

  • Tackling more complex behaviour struggles—or even a mix of them all.

Our approach is progressive and adaptable. We begin in settings where your dog can succeed, then gradually increase the level of difficulty. That may mean practicing skills in busier environments or layering in new challenges at home so your dog continues to grow in confidence and reliability.

We strongly encourage the entire family to participate in lessons. This ensures everyone is consistent, on the same page, and confident in applying the training. Children and other family members are thoughtfully included in the plan so that your dog’s learning becomes a seamless part of daily life.

Practice in an environment where the behaviour happens the most and set up your dog’s success right from the start with the Pup Culture™ Essentials Package.

Train & Maintain Package

Follow Up Lessons

Training doesn’t end once your sessions with us end!—just like people, dogs need ongoing practice to keep their skills sharp and adaptable in real life. Our Train & Maintain package is designed to give you continued support, so you never feel stuck or unsure of what to do next.

This service is ideal for families who:

  • Want to reinforce and strengthen skills their dog has already learned (such as leash walking, recalls, or calm greetings).

  • Are facing new challenges as their dog grows and life changes—whether that’s adolescence, adding a new baby or pet to the family, or moving to a new home.

  • Need ongoing accountability and expert guidance to keep training consistent and effective over time.

With regular sessions, we’ll adjust and refresh your dog’s training plan as needed. You’ll learn how to build reliability by practicing in different environments, adding distractions, and gradually raising the bar in a way that keeps your dog successful. Our focus is not only on maintaining progress but also on giving you the tools to prevent bad habits from creeping back in.

By working with a certified trainer on an ongoing basis, you’ll feel confident knowing that you and your dog are supported every step of the way—no matter what life throws your way.

Investment: $275 for the full package.
