01Is this for you?
Who it’s built for.
- Your dog lunges, barks or fixates on dogs, people or bikes on leash
- There’s no bite history — or an in-person evaluation has cleared a plan
- You dread walks and want structure, not more tips
- You can commit to short, consistent practice
Start in person instead if…
- Any bite history or a safety concern right now — start with an in-person behavior evaluation
- A sudden change in behavior — see your veterinarian first

Questions
The Reactive Dog Roadmap: FAQ
My dog has bitten. Can I use this program?
Start with an in-person behavior evaluation. The program can support the plan that comes out of it, but it isn’t a substitute for having a professional see your dog.
How long until my dog is better?
It depends on history, genetics, environment and how consistently the plan is practiced. No ethical trainer can promise a timeline for reactivity.
Is an online program a replacement for in-person training?
No — it’s a different starting point. Many owners make real progress with a clear system and feedback. If your dog has bitten, or you’re not seeing progress, in-person training is the next step, and Coach-Assisted pricing is credited toward it.
What if my dog has bitten someone?
Start in person. The Training Match will recommend an in-person evaluation first, and online material can support the plan that comes out of it.
How do video reviews work?
On the Guided and Coach-Assisted tiers you film short clips of practice sessions and upload them. Your trainer sends back recorded feedback on what to keep, change and try next.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes — move from DIY to Guided or Coach-Assisted by paying the difference.
Do you guarantee results?
No. A dog’s history, genetics, environment and your follow-through all play a role, and guaranteeing results would be unethical. What you get is a clear plan and honest feedback.
What’s the refund policy?
The refund policy is shown before checkout.
