Underdogs Long Beach FORCE-FREE TRAINING THAT’S BACKED BY SCIENCE, TRUSTED BY HUMANS, AND LOVED BY DOGS

This one is so hard for barky dog parents ⬇️

👉 Force them to “face their fears.”

That’s not confidence building — that’s flooding.

And it shuts dogs down instead of helping them feel safe.

Here’s what to do instead 👇

🐾 Create distance. Space = safety.

🐾 Protect them. You’re their advocate, don’t push them or scream at them!

🐾 Train only when they’re calm. Confidence grows when your dog feels safe, not when they’re overwhelmed.

🐾 Go slow. Progress that sticks never comes from panic.

Fear fades with safety — not pressure.

No, it didn’t happen overnight.

And no, we didn’t “correct” her.

Here’s how we actually did it 👇

🐾 We stopped flooding her with triggers — no more busy walks or forced hellos.

🐾 We focused on management first — calm routes, blocked views, and decompression walks.

🐾 We tracked her stress behaviors and stayed consistent (even when it felt slow).

🐾 We made “safe” the goal — not obedience.

🐾 And we practiced in quiet, easy environments before taking it into the real world.

Because reactivity isn’t a training failure — it’s a stress response.

And when you meet the stress with safety and structure, everything changes. 💛

Because I didn’t know any better…

I started my training journey using harsh, punishment-based methods.

The trainers promised fast results.

Less barking. Less stress.

And honestly? That’s what I thought I needed at the time.

That was my first mistake.

Even when I switched to reward-based training, I was still rushing.

Still focused on getting my dog to stop barking, to behave—so I could feel better.

I didn’t take into account what my dog needed.

I didn’t realize the fear they were feeling… because I was just trying to survive, too.

Looking back, with who I was then—I did my best.

But with that road behind me, here’s what I’d do instead:

💥 STOP the exposure (no more pushing them into situations they can’t handle)

📚 Learn dog body language (get the book Doggie Language—it’s a game-changer)

🌲 Move walks to quiet areas—no more overstimulating neighborhood strolls

🏡 Teach loose leash walking inside the house first, where it’s safe and calm

Your dog doesn’t need to “get over it.”

They need to feel safe in order to learn.

And yeah—you deserve to feel better too.

But we get there together.

Help SAVE dogs in 5 seconds ⤵️

Before you keep reading...

SHARE this to your stories so no more dogs have to be hurt.

Like I promised—here’s the TRUTH behind those 5 LIES you’ve been sold about pack walks 🥸👇

1. “Pack walks build confidence.”

Confidence isn’t built by forcing dogs to power-walk next to strangers while being punished into submission. It’s built through choice, safety, and freedom.

Sniffing = decompression. Forced formation = stress.

2. “It helps dogs socialize.”

Let’s be real—cramming dogs together and expecting them to ‘get along’ is like forcing adults into a group project with zero prep.

True socialization = space, consent, communication. Not forced exposure.

3. “It helps reactive dogs get over it.”

Nope. This is flooding, not training.

They’re suppressing the behavior, not healing it.

Progress happens through distance, safety, and a whole lot of snacks—not intimidation.

4. “Dogs are pack animals—it’s natural.”

This myth won’t die. Dogs are domesticated animals, not wolves.

The whole “alpha” thing? DEBUNKED.

Dogs thrive through secure relationships, not dominance hierarchies.

5. “Look, they’re doing great!”

You’re not seeing calm—you’re seeing shut down.

Pain compliance and fear-based obedience aren’t success stories. They’re red flags.

If you’ve ever wondered how these walkers get those “perfect” videos—now you know. And now you can help stop it.

Don’t forget to share this—it could protect someone’s dog today. 🐾

STOP YouTubing the solution and do this instead ⤵️

If you know me... dogs with stranger danger are my JAM.

I love those misunderstood dogs — and I get them because I used to be that way, too.

With a lot of therapy and work, I’ve learned that humans are safe. 😂

And because so many of our dog clients have had massive success training remotely with us worldwide…

We’ve created something special:

✨ An ONLINE course just for reactive dogs and their humans!

✅ Live Zoom training sessions

✅ Personalized feedback on your submitted homework videos (YouTube can't do that!)

✅ A built-in buddy system to keep you accountable (and connected!)

✅ Group support, Q&As, and 1-on-1 attention — all in one place

You’ll get the structure of my online course plus real-time coaching, support, and feedback from a multi-certified trainer (me 🙋‍♀️), and the community you need to stay consistent and make real progress.

You could spend hours doomscrolling Reddit, collecting 500 conflicting answers from strangers with zero credentials…

OR

You could work with someone who actually knows what they're doing and will build a customized plan for you and your dog.

Not only will you see results, but you'll get there faster 🏃‍♀️

👉 Comment “DOG” and I’ll send you a link to the waitlist —

You’ll be the first to know when it drops and get early access + discounted pricing! (HOW LUCKY 🍀)
