Reactive Dog Training Program

Stop the Lunging. End the Embarrassment. Transform Your Walks.

Leash reactivity, barking at strangers, lunging at other dogs—these behaviours are not just stressful, they can be dangerous. At iTrainK9, our Reactive Dog Training Program is designed for dogs that struggle with reactivity or aggression and need structured behavioural intervention.

With over 3,000 dogs trained, our team of professionals uses proven, clear communication methods to help your dog remain calm and composed—even around their biggest triggers.

What Your Dog Will Learn

Our customized program targets the root causes of reactive behaviour and builds a calm, respectful mindset in your dog.

  • Understanding and Managing Reactivity – Correct the why behind barking, lunging, and tension
  • Impulse Control Under Pressure – Teach your dog to respond, not react
  • Structured Desensitization – Controlled exposure to dogs, people, environments, and triggers
  • Obedience With Accountability – Enforce consistent follow-through on known commands
  • Handler Confidence – Learn to read and lead your dog through any situation

Whether your dog struggles on leash, barks at passing strangers, or reacts to other dogs, we help them become balanced, responsive, and reliable.

Real Client Testimonials

We recently made the great decision to send our two reactive dogs to iTrainK9. Walks used to be a nightmare—reacting to people, squirrels, and other dogs. Now we walk calmly. The follow-up support was incredible too!

— Bryna Orlando​

Suzy had reactivity and anxiety issues. The training gave us confidence to walk her again. We were shocked at how quickly her behaviour changed. The take-home lessons were clear and easy to follow.

 — Alex Nen​

Ghost had issues with guarding and outbursts. Now he’s calm and predictable. We take him everywhere with us. iTrainK9 helped us reclaim peace in our home.
