You Love Your Dog, But Walks Are Tough? We Get It.

A reactive dog exhibits exaggerated, often unwanted, responses (like barking, lunging) to common stimuli (other dogs, people, etc.) due to strong emotions like fear or frustration.

Living with a reactive dog can be emotionally draining. The worry, the embarrassment, the constant vigilance... it takes a toll. At One Smart Dog, we approach reactivity with empathy and understanding. We know your dog isn't "bad" – they're likely feeling overwhelmed.

Our positive reinforcement methods focus on building your dog's confidence and changing their emotional response to triggers. We'll empower you with the knowledge and skills to navigate challenging situations with greater ease.

We offer:

• Individualized training plans tailored to your dog's specific triggers and needs.
• Practical strategies for managing reactivity in real-world situations.
• Techniques to build your dog's focus and impulse control.
• Support and guidance for you to become your dog's best advocate.
• Tailored Follow-Up Sessions and  ongoing support, and adjustments as needed.

Stop the stress and start enjoying walks again.

Step 1:  Behavior Consultation

We’ll start with a 60-90 minute virtual meeting so that we can assess your dog’s behavior and create a personalized training plan for you and your dog.

You’ll leave  your consult with:

• A better understanding of what reactivity is and why your dog is displaying this behavior.
• An understanding of how our behavior modifatiocn process works and how to achieve resolution.
• A training plan to begin working with your reactive dog.

Step 2: Follow up Sessions ( In-Person)

You've taken the first step with a behavior consultation – great! Now, ensure lasting success with our tailored follow-up sessions. Consistency is key to reinforcing new behaviors and overcoming challenges. Our follow-ups provide:

• Continued Guidance: Addressing new questions and adapting your training plan.
• Practical Application: Hands-on practice in real-world scenarios.
• Accountability & Support: Keeping you motivated and on track.
• Deeper Understanding: Fine-tuning your communication with your dog.

Cost: $150 plus tax per one-hour follow up session

Full payment within 24 hours after dates are scheduled is required to confirm your appointments.

Sessions are non-refundable and non-transferable. We do not offer refunds on unscheduled sessions. All sales and payments are final.

One Smart Dog, LLC reserves the right to terminate the training contract before or during its term if the trainer determines that a danger exists to the health and safety of the public, trainer, owner, or dog. Should the Trainer or Owner terminate the training contract at any time before completion, all fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Contracts for ongoing training are automatically terminated if we do not hear from the client for 90 days.  After 90 days, the ongoing training contract will cease.  No refund will be issued for any sessions remaining on the contract.

Our services are not guaranteed. Dog behavior is not static and can change over time due to developmental periods, aging, and health. Pet owners influence their dog’s behavior and must do the assigned training homework for optimal results.

Clients are responsible for providing the necessary materials needed for training. Including, but not limited to: treats, toys, leash, collar, harness, etc.

One Smart Dog uses reward-based methods that are backed by science to modify your dog's behavior.  Because a reward makes your dog more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog’s behavior.  The use of pain, fear, or intimidation may lead to fear or aggression.

All no-show sessions will be forfeited automatically. There is $25 no-show fee that must be paid after a missed appointment within 24 hours in order to continue training.
