How to Disco with your Dog

Course Summary

Mini Webinar: The Secret Sauce Your Reactive or Anxious Dog Is Missing Move from stuck → steady progress with simple, powerful DRI routines  Is your dog’s behaviour taking way too long to improve?
Are you seeing new issues pop up?
Feeling like you’ve hit a plateau and your toolbox is running thin?  
You’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything “wrong.” Most dog guardians (and many trainers!) are missing one key ingredient…  
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behaviour (DRI)  Movement-based. Doable. And surprisingly powerful.  

This mini-webinar shows you exactly how to use DRI routines in real time with anxious, fearful, and reactive dogs — without needing perfect handling, perfect equipment, or perfect circumstances.  
Who This Mini-Webinar Is For  
✓ Dog guardians feeling stuck or overwhelmed
✓ Trainers wanting another solid tool for their skillset
✓ Anyone working with anxious, fearful, or reactive dogs
✓ Folks struggling with loose leash walking or building calm focus
✓ People who want something practical they can start using today  
What We’ll Cover
🔹 The DRI Routines That Actually Work  Forget theory overload — this is real-life, real movement, real change. You’ll learn how to reinforce behaviours that are incompatible with reacting, lunging, barking, or spiralling up.  
🔹 Simple Movement Exercises You Can Use Immediately  These routines shift your dog from “I can’t cope” to “I can think again.” Use them on walks, in your home, around triggers, and during everyday life.  
🔹 No French-braided perfection here  This isn’t a polished, choreographed case study. You’ll see imperfect handling from a real owner with equipment that isn’t always my first choice — because this is what real behaviour change looks like.  
🔹 A New Way to Add Calmness + Control Without Force  

This webinar is NOT about…
✖ Reading body language
✖ Deep dives into behaviour theory
✖ Showing only picture-perfect training Instead, it’s about movement that changes the emotional state, safely and predictably.  

What You’ll Walk Away With  
✔ A brand-new tool to use with anxious, fearful, or reactive dogs
✔ A movement routine you can pair with your existing training
✔ Better leash handling through predictable patterns
✔ A way to prevent escalation before it happens
✔ Renewed momentum when everything has felt stuck
✔ Confidence that you’re finally adding the right layer to your dog’s training  

Why This Matters  When dogs are overwhelmed, they can’t think — and when they can’t think, training falls apart.
Movement-based DRI gives your dog a structured outlet that interrupts the spiral and brings them back into a state where learning is possible.  
Think of it as the secret sauce that helps everything else finally click.
