The Emotional Dysregulation Cycle:
Why Your Reactive Dog Can't Listen, Learn, or Calm Down — And What to Do About It
Your dog's behavior is not your fault.

Replay will be available.
When your dog is lunging, barking, and completely unreachable on that leash — he is not being stubborn.
He is not ignoring you.
His prefrontal cortex has gone offline. His brain is flooded. He is physically incapable of hearing you in that moment.
This is the Emotional Dysregulation Cycle. And until you understand it, nothing you try will stick.
In this workshop you'll learn:
- What is happening in your dog's brain during a reaction — and why commands fail
- The role Trigger STacking plays in your reactive dog
- Why more socialization isn't helping
- What your dog actually needs to begin to feel safe
Plus dedicated Q&A time to ask your questions live.
This is a no-pitch,
no-pressure workshop.
Can't make it live? The recording is delivered to your inbox the following day.
You haven't failed your dog.
You just haven't had the full picture yet.
