This program begins with an
INTAKE CONSULTATION ($190) - a one hour session where we will come to your home, get to know you and your dog and discuss what you would like to achieve from your training. We will work with you to design a training program that suits your needs, budget and schedule, and show you some short term environmental management techniques to prevent any problem behaviours from getting worse.

Beacon's Reactive to Relaxed Program
For reactive, fearful, frustrated or overexcited dogs - between $590 and $990

Our Reactive to Relaxed program is a series of lessons designed for dogs who are reactive, fearful or overexcited. If your dog barks, growls or lunges towards other dogs, or pulls relentlessly to meet other dogs, Reactive to Relaxed is the perfect choice.

Through precise application of scientific principles, we will work with you and your dog to change their underlying emotional response to their triggers, so that they feel happy and relaxed rather than over excited, frustrated, or frightened. Our goal is long term behaviour change, not short term suppression of surface level symptoms.

We will work at your dog's pace, ensuring they are kept sub-threshold as much as possible. Our experienced instructors will help ensure that the sessions are enjoyable and low stress for both you and your dog.

This program begins in your own home and progresses to a group class environment when your dog is ready.
