Why doesn’t this program start with things like recall, U-turns, or loose leash walking like other training programs?

Many programs require you to jump through weeks of foundational training—recall, U-turns, loose leash walking—before even touching your dog’s reactivity. You can easily spend 6+ weeks laying the groundwork before getting to the part you actually need help with.

Barkaholics is different.

We cut through the noise and focus on just 4 simple, confidence-building behaviors. These are the exact behaviors I use with my private clients, and most dogs pick them up in a week or less. No fluff, no filler—just real progress, fast.

We also don’t use the typical “engage/disengage” method. For the types of reactive dogs we see daily, that approach just doesn’t hold up in real life. Instead, we teach you how to let your dog look—and when counter-conditioning and desensitization are done properly, your dog will disengage on their own, without prompting or coaxing.

This isn’t watered-down theory—it’s the exact 6-week process I use in private sessions, typically completed in 9 hours of 1:1 training. With consistent practice on your walks, you’ll see real, lasting change.

No, you do not need a stooge dog or long line. You will learn how to use dogs in your neighborhood or in a park, lake or near by area.  

Your regular walking leash is fine. The goal is to teach you how walk in your neighborhood everyday, so you're going to use your regular leash and regular dogs in your neighborhood. You learn how create a successful training set up in the Barkaholics Program.

This is a 6-week program, but you can do it in less time if you want. For the best results practice the exercises in this program at least 10 - 20 mins every day or 1 - 2 hours per week. Consistency is important. It's easier than you think. After the 6 weeks, you will practice on your everyday walks with your dog.

Yes. Not taking treats is a sign that a dog is stressed, even more reason to do the Barkaholics Program. Not taking food is a common problem with reactive dogs and can be changed. The Bonus "For Dogs That Aren't Treat Motivated, A Plan to Help" and the Barkaholics Protocol will help. 

If your dog reacts from far distances or seems “extreme,” that doesn’t mean he can’t change.

It means the starting point might be further back.

The structured progression is designed for this, it's how we rewire all emotions, even the big emotions.

It's built into the progression.

You have access to the program for 1 year. You'll get immediate access when you enroll.

I don't just teach this, I do it myself, every day. I'm not hiding behind a screen, I'm standing in front of reactive dog owners teaching them what to do and showing them how.

So many dog trainer gurus and influencers learn based on what they read in books or online. It's like reading a book on How to Swim without getting in the water. 

Not only have I been in the water (having my own reactive dogs), I've taught other reactive dogs and their humans.

The videos you see on our Instagram page are reactive dog clients. You'll learn the exact steps they went through. You can start today!
