Helping you find freedom with your reactive dog

Reactivity Roadmap

Reactivity Roadmap

I’m breaking down the key mindset shifts and exact strategies I’ve used to help my own reactive dog—along with hundreds of others through board & trains and virtual coaching. You’ll learn the approach that actually gets lasting results, so you can start seeing real progress with your own dog. Let’s dive in!

If you are struggling with dog reactivity & don’t know where to begin with training, this course will help you & your dog so much. This course provides you with the tools to better understand your dog’s mindset, enhance your relationship with your dog & sets you up for success so you know how to approach reactivity training. Lizzy is an excellent teacher & explains topics in ways that are easy to understand & practical to try out & maintain with your dog & your lifestyle. I love that there are video examples of her demonstrating the topic at hand. I’ve learned more from this course than I have working with other trainers in person. If you trust the process & you are consistent with following the modules you will see improvement. I am half way done the course & already see incredible improvement with my dog’s engagement & relationship with me. I highly recommend this course! :)

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for creating the Chaos to Calm program. It truly covers EVERYTHING from training your dog, to shifting the owner’s mind too. To see things differently and not be too hard on ourselves on those tough days. And not care about the opinions of others as long as I know I’m trying my best to do what’s best for me and Astro. I think I cried through the entire Mindset Shifts section. But It made me look at the glass half full. So thank you!

HUGE win with Oso settling in less than 10 minutes on his place bed after a successful loose leash walking session! We encountered a trigger but we were able to not get a reaction with movement. It was so great and I’m so proud of him! We ended our session with play and we both were so happy at the end 🥰

Even when there are not so good days, I have made more progress in the last two weeks than I have in the last 4 months. And I finally feel like i'm bonding with Roscoe. I adopted him in April and I didn't know what I was getting into.

I volunteer at a no kill shelter and work with nervous and reactive dogs. I have been following Lizzy's Calm to Choas course with a very reactive 11-year-old German Shepherd who I am fostering in our home. They warned me to not take her out on walks as she will pull and lunge at other dogs, cats and even birds. One month in we are able to take 15–20-minute walks. She is no longer barking at birds, cats and/or dogs barking at her in their back yard. We are still working on passing by other dogs without her reacting, but we can be within 50 feet of another dog with no reaction. Lizzy has a whole dog approach and teaches you about your dog and the why. Why are they reacting. Then teaches you how to retrain their mindset. Lizzy is very responsive to questions and brainstorming solutions as she does not believe in one approach works for all dogs. Highly recommend this program.

I’m so relieved that I have a plan that is easy to understand and that I can already see results in the short time I’ve been working on this program. So thankful ❤️

his week has been AMAZING. Riggsy is finally listening when we say "let's go" and he doesn't have total melt downs now if someone walks up behind us! We still have to keep our distance from other dogs, but his reactions are less explosive lately and he calms down much quicker. I'm finally enjoying going on walks with him again - loose leash! Lizzy - THANK YOU!
