REACTIVE FITNESS PROGRAM

An Exclusive Program For Sporty Dog Owners

Does your high-drive sports dog struggle to stay focused and in control around dogs or other people? Do you wish you could implement your sports and fitness work with a professional in your own backyard or at a park one-on-one with your dog?

 

This specialized program is designed for dogs experiencing heightened arousal in group settings,  

​

After 13 years of studying behavior and earning certification in canine fitness, We've seen firsthand that some dogs thrive in sports—but struggle in group settings. Just like people, they can get anxious around others, which may lead to barking, growling, or lunging. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. That’s why we’ve created a new program where dogs can build strength, confidence, and self-control in a one-on-one setting. Over time, they may even be ready to join group sports like agility, flyball, or dock diving.

​

​​

We address behaviors such as

- barking, growling, or lunging at dogs or people,

- guarding resources like food, toys, and people,

- fear or anxiety triggered by specific visual or audio stimuli.


If your dog is struggling with any of these issues, we can help.
 

Our behavior consultant, Steven Tallas, has a diploma from Companion Animal Science Institute in Canine Behavior Science and Technology with a specialization in Aggressive Behavior in Dogs, is a Certified Behavior Consultant - Knowledge Assessed through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, and has completed the Aggression in Dogs Master Course by World Renowned Behavior Expert, Michael Shikashio. Steven devotes himself to investing in the most up-to-date and humane training methods to help dogs thrive.

We will work on the following:

  • Building an Action Plan of what we’d like to see starting today

  • Helping you understand the root of your dog’s behavior to prevent and change it

  • Building a foundation for appropriate behaviors moving forward

  • Creating an ongoing management plan where you and your dog can live a drama-free life.

Through this program, we'll work to have you experience peace of mind knowing that your dog is safe and responsive to you, your dog can freely express themselves without violence or threats, and we'll encourage building on new activities in which you and your dog can enjoy.

"Steven worked and is still working wonders with my dog, Hobbs. Hobbs is a rescue. Hobbs loves people, but has many traits of a dog that was born and spent some time on the streets. He is a bit reactive, guards resources, and has some stranger danger. But, also, like most rescues, Hobbs has a heart of gold and Steven really brought that out in him. Steven communicates well with me and with Hobbs. I receive continuous updates on his progress through calls, texts, and even a spreadsheet with what he's learned. I think the biggest miracle is that when I say "crate", Hobbs actually goes in his crate! The most important thing to me is not that Steven has taught Hobbs how to be a good dog, but that Hobbs loves Steven! I would recommend Steven to any dog lover who wants to make their dog's world safer and happier."

"Steven has been such a pleasure to work with! I had recently adopted a new dog, Maverick, and was having some concerns with reactivity. He gave us some advice and tools to work on, little did I know that a month later he would be a completely different dog! His behavior has improved so much and we’re both at peace! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving us guidance, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!"
