If your dog is reactive, you already know how much it takes over your life. The early morning walks, the crossed roads, the constant anxiety. It doesn't have to stay that way.
I specialise in one thing: helping owners with reactive dogs get their lives back.
Not general obedience. Not puppy classes. Reactivity. It's what I understand best, it's where I get the best results, and it's what The Northern Canine is built around.
Every programme is 1-to-1. Every session happens in your home and out in your local environments, where the problem actually exists. No group classes. No training halls. No generic plans that don't account for your dog.
See how it worksThese are the things owners tell me every single week. If any of them land, you're in the right place.
You plan every walk around avoiding other dogs
You're up at 5am or out after dark just to get some peace
You drive to an empty field because walking from your door feels impossible
You've tried other trainers and nothing has actually lasted
You love your dog, but the stress of it is grinding you down
You're starting to wonder if things will ever actually change
If that sounds like your life right now, I can help you change it.
I'm not going to list qualifications at you. What I'll tell you is that I've spent years working with dogs in every setting you can think of, and I chose to focus on reactivity because it's where I can make the biggest difference.
I know what it's like to be on the other end of a reactive dog's lead. I own one. My GSD x Malinois rescue Nyx was reactive when she came to me, and the transformation she's been through is the reason I believe so strongly in what I do.
I work 1-to-1 only. No group sessions. Your dog, your home, your environment. Honest, practical work that gets real results.
See the 8-week programme“We recently got ourselves a puppy and as first time dog owners, we had the very best of intentions. We met Lucas by chance and instantly found him to be clearly passionate and friendly to both us and the pup. We signed up to the 8-week programme and we have not looked back since. We now have markers in place for both good and undesirable behaviours, as well as the ability to walk off lead due to his recall being spot on. He was regularly in touch via online support which included videos and moral support when something was not quite working. I would recommend the Northern Canine to anyone that wants to get a solid start on puppy training.”
These are the same foundations I build every programme on. Free, no sign-up, no email address needed. Just take them and use them.
The single most important thing you can teach your dog before anything else. Most people skip it. Don't.
