Asheville Dog Parents... We Need to Talk...

Do you feel like you're walking on eggshells around your dog because they just can't seem to stay calm? Are you tired of dealing with the stress and embarrassment of their barking, lunging, or aggressive behavior toward other dogs or people?

 

We get it, and we're here to help.

​

Your dog's reactivity isn't just a problem, it's affecting your entire life. You want to take them on adventures, have friends and family over without worry, and enjoy peaceful walks in the park.

​

That's why we've created our Reactivity Rehab programs, which focus on healing your dog's reactivity from the inside out. Our personalized plans are designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge to confidently support your dog during training, rebuild their trust in you, and rebuild your trust in them.

​

We know that every dog and their human are unique, which is why we tailor our training plans to meet your specific needs. We also want you to know that it's okay if you've already tried other trainers, training tools, medications, or calming aids before. We aren't discouraged by that, and neither should you.

​

So, what are you waiting for?

 

Picture a life where you can take your dog anywhere with confidence. A life where you don't have to worry about embarrassing or even dangerous meltdowns. That's what we're here to help you achieve.

​

Let's work together to bring out the calm and confident versions of you and your dog. Contact us today to book your discovery call and take the first step towards a brighter future with your furry companion.

Testimonials

Ashley is truly one of a kind! I reached out to her when I realized my puppy, Luna, was not going to “grow out of it” when it came to her being afraid of literally everything outside of our apartment. Over the past year, Luna has gone from fearful to extremely brave and resilient, thanks to Ashley’s program. She has taught me how to be a better mom to my sweet girl and has changed our lives more than she will ever know.
