Training for reactive dogs in London

Dogs living in London face special challenges which can make them more reactive. The busy city life means dogs and their parents need different training strategies.

Reactive training for urban dogs in London
“In London, dog reactivity is becoming increasingly common. The dogs just don’t have any choice, so they have to shout.”

– Georgie, Trick Woofs

Sound familiar?

  • Does your dog often bark, growl, or lunge at other dogs or people during walks?
  • How does your dog act when guests come over? Do they bark a lot, jump on people, or seem anxious?
  • Does your dog get overly excited or aggressive in busy places like parks, crowded streets, or in the city?
  • Are you feeling stuck, frustrated by all the conflicting advice from trainers and online sources that haven’t worked?
  • Do you feel nervous or worried about taking your dog out?
If we were given a pound everytime we heard these words we’d be millionaires!

At Trick Woofs, we understand and are here to help you and your dog find calm and connection.

Building Bonds through positive training & enrichment

In London, reactivity in urban dogs is common. Dogs feel they have no choice but to react loudly to show us they are anxious or unhappy.

At Trick Woofs, we love helping dog parents understand things from their dog’s perspective. Because it’s not always about fixing your dog but about understanding why your dog is behaving a certain way and how to meet your dog’s needs.

This approach focuses on meeting your dog’s needs, especially in London, where dogs often lack the freedom to act naturally.

Dogs in cities often feel stressed by the fast pace and crowds. They can’t avoid interactions and are always hurried, which stops them from enjoying natural activities like sniffing and exploring.

We use positive, reward-based activities to calm urban dogs. These activities satisfy their natural instincts, give them an outlet for their energy, reduce stress, and help prevent reactive behaviour.

You can share your challenges with us, and we’ll help you bring peace and harmony to your life with your dog.

TOTAL PEACE OF MIND

Knowing that your dog’s behaviour is understood and managed through positive, enrichment-based activities, you’ll feel more confident and relaxed during walks and in social situations.

This reduces your anxiety and allows you to enjoy your time with your dog

A Happier, Calmer Dog - and you!

By addressing your dog’s needs and giving them with the chance to engage in natural, calming activities, your dog will feel more content and less anxious.

This leads to a happier, more relaxed companion at home and in public and a happier and less stressed you.

This means a more relaxed dog at home and outside, and a more peaceful you.

Strengthened Bond

As you learn to see the world from your dog’s perspective and meet their needs, your relationship will deepen.

This understanding fosters trust and a stronger connection, making your time together more harmonious and enjoyable.

I now have the tools to use to help my puppy make great decisions.

“After struggling with loose lead walking I turned to Trick Woofs and instantly saw a difference after having struggled with this.

Georgie is an absolutely incredible trainer and you can see the passion she has for helping dogs and their owners.

I now have the tools to use to help my puppy make great decisions.

She explains everything really clearly and the why we do this. I travel from outside of London to come to training and it’s completely worth it.

Georgie is really thorough and I feel really supported by her. I’ve learnt so much over just 2 sessions and looking forward to learning more. You’re amazing and thank you.”
