Training for Reactive Dogs
Transform your dog’s triggers into triumphs
You envisioned pleasant walks with your dog, but things aren’t going as planned.
Instead of peacefully enjoying the outdoors together, you’re on edge—dreading the moment another dog appears and triggers a meltdown.
The barking and lunging is so embarrassing.
Certified Trainer Leighann uses positive-reinforcement for all dogs — including reactives.
With Koinonia’s in-home dog training you get a dedicated positive-reinforcement professional to guide you and your dog to quiet, stress-free adventures.
“Leighann is very knowledgeable on the material we worked on. Both Harley and I are feeling more confident and ready to continue our journey!”

Training Process
Step #1: Initial Consultation
Meet with the trainer to share about your dog’s behavior and set goals. The trainer will provide you with three things at the Consultation:
Prep: recommendations for products and/or supplies you’ll need
Act: things you can do, right away, to start the training process
Next steps: a program recommendation to thoroughly address your goals
Cost: $260, virtual
-
Just as an allergist wouldn’t induce anaphylactic shock before treating you, dog trainers do not need to witness the wrong behavior in order to treat it.
Instead, we ask lots of questions to understand what’s happening.
Step #2: Follow-Up Sessions
Your follow-up program includes:
In-Home Sessions to lay a foundation of skills and communication.
Practice Walks to apply what you’ve learned and get instant feedback from the professional.
Support. Got questions between sessions? Shoot the trainer a text or email.
-
Reactivity is a common problem but each dog a family is unique.
Most families can expect four to eight follow-up sessions held over six to twelve weeks.
The trainer will make a specific recommendation after learning more about your dog and his behavior.
Follow-up programs run $480-$960 total. Payment plans available.
