What shapes a program
- How long the habit has run, since older habits take longer to change.
- The number of sessions and the check-ins between them.
- Whether coaching happens at home, on walks or in both places.
- The trigger, such as other dogs, bikes, sirens or visitors.
- The management tools involved, such as window film, gates or a quiet room.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Can reactivity be fixed fast?
Be wary of quick promises. Steady practice and distance from triggers work best, and a good trainer sets honest expectations.
Should my vet check first?
Yes, especially for sudden changes. Pain or illness can alter behavior.
What approach should I look for?
Rewards, planned distance and gradual exposure. Avoid methods built on fear or pain.
Is this only for severe cases?
No. Many owners begin with everyday annoyances, and early help is often shorter.
