The Calm, Canine Confidence Challenge
Six-Week Autumn Reactivity Challenge: Transform Your Home into a Haven for Your Reactive Dog
Is your dog constantly barking at the slightest noise?
Does the doorbell send them into a ferocious frenzy?
Are you tired of your dog getting anxious or leaping and stressing out at every bang and pop?
With autumn approaching, the anxiety caused by fireworks and holiday festivities can heighten your dog’s reactivity inside, making your home feel anything but peaceful.
The Six-Week Autumn Reactivity Challenge is here to help you transform your home into a sanctuary for your furry friend, providing them with the tools they need to stay calm and composed in any situation.
How It Works
Daily Tasks: Every day, (Monday to Friday) you’ll receive a specific task aimed at addressing different aspects of reactivity in the house.
These tasks will be practical and easy to follow, ensuring that you can fit them into your daily routine.
From desensitisation exercises to placement training, each task will work to create a comprehensive training regimen to help your dog stay calmer indoors.
Weekly Rest & Review: Each week, we’ll also dive into a your review of the week, providing you with an overview of knowledge and additional skills needed to understand and manage your dog’s behaviour, throughout the program
Topics will include, understanding canine body language, the principles of reinforcement, effective communication techniques, reduce the frequency of the reactivity and much more.
These lessons will be shared through video tutorials, articles, and Q&A sessions.
Tracking Progress
To keep you on track and motivated, we’ll use the following methods to monitor your progress:
- Daily Check-ins: At the end of each day, you’ll be asked to provide a brief update on your task completion and any observations about your dog’s behaviour.
- Weekly Progress Reports: Every week, you’ll complete a short weekly wins report and share your progress and successes. This will help us fine-tune your training plan and provide additional support where needed.
- Video Submissions: Throughout the challenge, you’ll be encouraged to submit short videos of your training sessions. These will then be reviewed and provide feedback on your techniques and needed improvements.
You’ll be able to ask as many questions as you like, share your progress, and receive feedback directly through WhatsApp, ensuring that you get the most out of your training efforts.
Motivation and Rewards
Keeping participants motivated is a key aspect of our challenges. Here’s how we’ll ensure you stay engaged and committed:
- Group Support: You’ll be part of a WhatsApp group with other dog owners facing similar challenges. Sharing experiences and encouraging each other will create a supportive community.
- Milestone Badges: As you achieve certain milestones, you’ll receive virtual badges to celebrate your progress. These badges can be shared within the group and on social media.

Client Testimonial:
“I can’t express how grateful I am for this challenge. It’s been incredible to witness the transformation of my dog, Otto, thanks to the indoor reactivity training challenge.
Before we started, Otto was a bundle of nerves inside the house. Every little noise would set him off, barking uncontrollably and making it difficult for us to enjoy a peaceful environment. We were constantly on edge, unsure of how to help him.
When I discovered the indoor reactivity training challenge, I was hopeful but skeptical too. From the first week, I could tell that this was exactly what Otto needed. Claire provides such structured exercises and the supportive environment provided us with the tools and confidence to work on his behaviour together.
I was amazed at how quickly we started seeing small improvements. Otto began to understand that he didn’t need to react to every single sound or movement and that he was safe. The focus on gradual exposure to distractions made a world of difference. It really showed me how my expectations of what Otto could manage by himself were way too high!
By the end of the challenge, Otto had turned into a completely different dog. He became calmer and more relaxed, able to stay composed even with the usual triggers that once sent him into a barking frenzy. I now have a peaceful home, and Otto is a much happier dog. The support and guidance we received throughout this challenge were phenomenal. I highly recommend this training to anyone facing similar issues with their dog. It has truly changed our lives for the better!”
