For the owner who dreads every walk
The Reactivity Program
Stop the barking, lunging and losing it on leash — with a protocol that holds up in public, not just in your living room.
For the owner who plans walks around which dogs they might meet, and comes home wired every time.

Why Reactivity Never Fixes Itself
If any of these sound familiar, this course was built for you.
“I can't walk my dog without dreading every other dog we see.”
Every walk feels like a ticking time bomb. You're scanning the street for triggers before you even leave the driveway.
“We've tried 3 trainers and nothing has stuck.”
You've spent hundreds — maybe thousands — on group classes, private sessions, even board and train. It works for a week, then goes right back.
“I've watched every YouTube video — it works for 2 days then goes back to normal.”
Random tips don't add up to a plan. One video says use treats, another says ignore it, another says correct it. None of it sticks.
“Every walk is a battle.”
You're exhausted. Your arms are sore. You've stopped enjoying your dog. You just want one walk where you don't have to white-knuckle the leash.
The Reactivity Program gives you the exact system — in the order it has to happen in. Step by step. No guessing.

“We can't thank or recommend K9 Academy enough.”
“It's because of these folks that we have essentially been gifted a new dog. Our reactive, anxious rescue is now calm, confident, and a joy to walk. The transformation was beyond what we thought possible.”
Hugh M.✓ Verified
Golden Retriever owner · Toronto, ON
★★★★★
“I'd give 6 stars if I could!”
“We honestly can't believe Simba is the same dog. The reactivity is gone. He walks past other dogs like they don't exist. If you're on the fence — just do it. We wasted months trying other things first.”

“What a difference! I feel like a dream came true.”
“My dog's obedience is 100% better. The structured approach made all the difference — I finally understood WHY my dog was reactive and exactly what to do about it. Can't recommend enough.”

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this right for my dog?
Yes. The system works for all breeds and ages. Whether you have a puppy or an adult dog, it builds on-leash skills first and then progresses. The foundation is the same regardless of breed, size or temperament — start with the track that matches the problem you actually have.
Do I need an e-collar?
Only for off-leash work. The foundations work without one. Where an e-collar genuinely helps — off-leash reliability at distance — the course walks you through a safe, fair introduction step by step, so you understand exactly how to use one before it ever goes on your dog.
How long until my dog is reliable?
Most owners see noticeable results within a few weeks, usually on the leash first. Full off-leash reliability is a month or two of consistent work. Reactivity is measured in months, and anyone promising faster is selling something.
Is this just a book, or is there video?
Video. The courses are filmed lessons in sequence — real dogs, real streets, a real trainer — with the drills written out so you can watch it done and then follow along. The written guides back them up.
What if it doesn't work for my dog?
You're covered by our 30-day money back guarantee. Work through it, and if it hasn't moved the needle, email info@k9academy.ca for a full refund. No hoops, no hassle, no risk.
