Reactive Dog Training in Provo, UT
Barking, lunging, or pulling when your dog sees other dogs or people? We help reactive dogs become calmer and more confident around their triggers, using a patient approach built around your dog.
Our Approach to Reactivity
We follow LIMA: Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive. Instead of harsh corrections, we start at a safe distance from your dog’s triggers, teach a better behavior, and reward good choices. As your dog succeeds, we gradually decrease the distance and increase the distractions.
Every Dog Is Different
We take time to learn what motivates your dog and what works best for them.
Safe Distance First
Training starts where your dog can succeed, then builds step by step.
Better Choices, Better Rewards
We teach alternative behaviors that earn your dog better results.
Patience Over Pressure
No heavy-handed or harsh corrections, just steady, consistent progress.

Most reactive dogs do best in Day Camp, which includes more off-site training and all training tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our dog training programs and daycare in Provo.
Reactivity is an over-the-top response, like barking, lunging, or pulling, to triggers such as other dogs, people, bikes, or cars. It’s often driven by fear, frustration, or excitement.
We can’t teach dogs to unlearn behaviors, but we can teach them a better way. Results vary by severity, but most dogs become calmer, more settled, and even confident around their triggers.
No. We follow LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive). We work at a safe distance, reward good choices, and build up gradually. Patience over pressure.
Most reactive dogs train with us through Day Camp. 4 weeks is $2,600 and 6 weeks is $3,400, with all training tools and lifetime follow-up included.
Board and Train isn’t available for serious behavior cases, including significant reactivity. We’ll talk through the best option for your dog during your free consultation.
