Very satisfied with this program. The steps are clear and easy to follow. I saw progress with my dog Oliver within the first week of starting the training, which is unlike what I had tried in the past. The trainers are quick to answer any questions I have, highly recommend!

Very disappointed. Did not deliver as promised. Would not recommend.

I bought access to their lessons in 2020. They helped me raise the best dog I’ve ever had. Well, six years later I wanted to review them for my new puppy… oh no! They updated their site and I lost access to my lessons. After a quick email exchange with Andrea, not only is my access restored, but a bunch of new videos have been added basically all the new videos they’ve made on the same subjects. I think (I’m not totally sure because it’s been a while) they even threw in a free video on how to integrate my puppy with my older dog. 10/10 lessons and 10/10 customer service.

Today is January 6, 2026, and I have tried 10 times to start my Day 8 training and it wont let me in. This is very frustrating. Each time it says, Not available until 7;32 PM on January 6, 2026. It's now 8;23 on January 6, 2026 and still no luck getting to week 8. There is no place to ask for help. Where is customer service or a leader of the website?

I highly recommend this program for reactive dogs. My dog and I started it almost four months ago, and the progress has been amazing. Before, my dog was scared of everything during walks: bikes, scooters, children, runners, other dogs, and even buses. Every outing was a real challenge to avoid any reactive episodes. Now, he handles the situations that used to be difficult for him much better. My biggest concern was encountering other dogs — every morning I hoped we wouldn’t run into any so the walk would stay calm. Today, I can simply walk with him and adjust the distance to help him improve. We started with a distance of 6 meters for large dogs and 3 meters for small dogs. After three months, we were able to reduce it to 4 meters for large dogs and less than one meter for small dogs. I also started interval running with him, and it has really boosted his progress: he manages his emotions better and trusts me much more during encounters. A big thank you for this healthy method, as it truly respects our dogs.

There are SO many trainings available online and live. I recommend you to be really mindful of what you choose. This is a really good one. She really understands dogs, and that’s what counts. Not any weird temporary methods that can only bring short term results.

Steffi has changed the way I navigate challenges with my dogs, 150% for the better. She’s encouraging and understanding yet not judgemental and answers questions with a genuine desire to help create positive relationships with our furry family members. I value her knowledge and suggestions tremendously.

I bought her online class: tackling reactivity bundle and it was so helpful! You can ask questions and the exercises are well explained with many video-demonstrations.
