Neutrality Walks
A structured group walk designed for reactive dogs. All dogs and owners welcome, whether you'd like to work on general neutrality with your overly excitable pup, handler engagement, or just put your training to work... this is the place for you! These walks are great for building your confidence and learning how to advocate for your dog! Recieve tips, feedback and help througout (if wanted)
-
Obedience Classes
These classes start with a structured walk to get into the flow and engage as a group. We will then begin our drills which include a balance of obedience, handler engagement and challenges to build owners confidence. These are YOUR classes, it is your chance to do what you need in your journey, take as much space as needed. Led by a professional dog trainer, there will be alternatives and adaptations!

I really enjoyed our first neutrality pack walk under the leadership of Jayden! We had a nice walk around the neighborhood as a pack, with some pass by practices with our dogs. I especially enjoyed the latter half of the session that focused on obedience and control of our dogs and their staying neutral. Jayden provided the group with several exercises to partake in. Looking forward to the next one!

Jaydens pack walks are awesome! She provides my dog a safe and controlled environment to work on his reactivity while surrounded by like minded dog owners who are going through similar challenges with their own dogs.
Jayden is very knowledgeable and puts in that extra effort and care, we are excited to continue learning from her and to see our dog grow in confidence!
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these only for reactive dogs?
Nope! These classes are open to anyone, they are designed with reactive dogs in mind which means everyone is to be given space and there will be no dog-to-dog interactions. However, these classes are very beneficial for exposure training, general neutrality and handler engagement, etc.
I'm worried my dog will react... what if we aren't ready?
Reactions are more than okay, they are welcomed and accepted by myself (the trainer) and the participants. We learn and grow from them. You are welcome to come try it out, take the space you need and don't be afraid to speak up. We have all been there and judgement is NOT tolerated, this is a safe space for everyone.
If you are still worried you may not be ready, reach out! We can help!
What tools are acceptable?
You may bring whatever you feel you need to set you and your dog up for success.
As long as your dog is on a leash no more than 6ft from you (no flexi lines!) and you are aware of those around you, the proper usage of any tool is accepted. We have participants who train fully R+, balanced, and anything in between... we don't discriminate!
