What decides the length of a plan
- How long the reaction has been rehearsed.
- The trigger and how easy it is to control, from rare visitors to daily dogs on the pavement.
- How often sessions and check-ins happen.
- Management at home, such as gates, window film and routines.
- Whether your vet is involved to rule out pain or illness.
- Whether the plan uses real pavements and estates rather than only a quiet park.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Why does distance matter so much?
A dog cannot learn when it is overwhelmed. Working well away from a trigger keeps the dog able to think.
Are muzzles or special collars part of the plan?
Sometimes a trainer suggests gear. Ask them to explain the purpose and how the dog is taught to accept it.
What if my dog's reactions frighten the family?
Speak to your vet and a qualified behaviour professional promptly, and add distance and barriers at home while you wait.
Does a reactive dog need a quiet area?
Starting somewhere quiet helps. The plan then moves gradually to busier spots as your dog copes.
