Reactivity Repair Kit™ is designed for professional trainers, behavior consultants, shelter and rescue professionals, and dedicated amateur trainers who work with reactive dogs.

Whether you're teaching group classes or working one-on-one with clients, you'll have everything you need: the techniques, the assessment tools, the curriculum, and the client materials.

What You'll Learn

Easy to teach, force-free, effective foundation skills that make a profound difference for reactive dogs.

Build the foundation for lasting change with core techniques that help dogs develop self-regulation, voluntary attention, and healthier ways of interacting with their world:

Auto Check-In (ACI) - Voluntary attention that builds connection even in the presence of triggers
Really Real Relaxation (RRR) - Authentic self-regulation the dog chooses, not forced compliance
Attentive Cooperation - Self-regulation with real-life rewards and clear communication
Go Say Hi 1-2-3 - Orchestrated greetings that work for people and dogs
Plus: Go Hunt, Leash Handling, Cupcake Party, MAYDAY! and more

PLUS: RCT Assessment Tools help you understand each dog as an individual and create tailored programs that make a difference:

Think & Learn Zone (TLZ)
Social Interaction Scale
Behavior Difficulty Assessment
"What Size World?"
Thresholds, Transitions & Triggers
"Does This Dog Need Medication?"

Stop Guessing. Start Seeing.
