Review

by Matthew E.

Four Leggers was highly recommended to us by the shelter we adopted our dog from. And it's not hard to see why! We couldn't have been more pleased with Jenn and her team. They are super knowledgable, extremely passionate, and patient teachers (for the humans, ha). We felt in such good hands while at our 1:1 private training with our new pup. We have already noticed improvements and are looking forward to what is achieved over the coming weeks. Can't recommend them enough!

This Course Will Change Your Life

Reactivity is involuntary. In the RRA, you'll understand why your dog reacts in a certain way, identify their triggers, and how to calm him down while simultaneously changing his emotional response to the trigger.

Understand why your dog is reactive and how to prevent it. This means you'll be able to remain calm and help your dog calm down the next time it happens.

Learn how to train your dog so that we reprogram his neuro pathways and alter his emotional response. This means you can go on walks without worries and frustration.
Enjoy a happier, stress-free life with your dog, free of frustration, stress, or fear! You can go back to having fun with your dog, instead of dreading it.

How Does It Work?

Each week, you will receive access to lessons averaging 30-60 minutes in length total. Your homework assignments will be included each week, to be worked on throughout the next 7 days. We also hold a 1 hour live zoom session weekly with all students (which will be recorded as well), for Q&A, support, troubleshooting, etc. In addition to 12 weeks of training material and feedback, you will also receive access to an exclusive bonus section! This area is full of tips, tricks, recommended products, and more, exclusively for you and your reactive dog. Students can participate in weekly group coaching calls with Jenn, as well as receive private feedback on their video submissions!

  • Years Of Acquired Tips And Tricks

    Jenn has over 14+ years of experience working with reactive dogs and she's going to share all the knowledge that comes from it. You'll get access not only into how you can manage your pup during walks but also common mistakes people make when taking on such an animal as well!

  • Time-Saving Material

    If you want to get the most out of your training, don't waste time on unskilled and inexperienced trainers. Jenn will provide sound and science-backed training tips that can help all dogs! Each week's curriculum is 30-60 minutes of active viewing time, to ensure you have plenty of time to go out and work on the curriculum with your pup! Feedback will be provided to each student based on their video submissions, to ensure that you are set up for success moving forward.

  • Support Is Critical

    As the pet parent of several reactive dogs over the years, you're not alone here and we understand what you're working with. We get it - it's embarrassing, frustrating, and can be downright dangerous. In the Academy, you'll be learning from real people with real dogs who have been right there with you. A large part of this program is support, both from your instructors, and from your fellow classmates. We encourage you to share your experiences, empathize with one another, and learning how to move forward after experiencing past trauma with your reactive dog.
