The Reactive Dog Runbook

An 8-Week Plan for Calmer Walks, Fewer Meltdowns & a More Confident Dog

Walks should not feel like something you have to survive.

If your dog barks, lunges, freezes, pulls or becomes overwhelmed around other dogs, people, vehicles or unfamiliar situations, The Reactive Dog Runbook gives you a calmer, more practical way forward.

This premium 25-page digital guide helps you understand what happens before a reaction, identify your dog’s triggers and follow a structured eight-week plan for building safer, more manageable walks.

Inside the runbook, you’ll discover:

• How to recognize your dog’s earliest stress signals
• A practical method for identifying triggers and safe distances
• How to prepare for calmer, lower-pressure walks
• An eight-week step-by-step training plan

• In-the-moment tools for unexpected triggers
• Guidance for supporting recovery after a stressful walk
• Weekly progress trackers and session worksheets
• A cut-out quick-reference card for emergencies
• Clear signs that it may be time to seek professional support
