Your Dog Loses Their Mind Every Time They See Another Dog.
Five days to change how they feel about it. For good.
You've tried. It just hasn't stuck.
Maybe you've done group classes. Watched YouTube. Hired a trainer for an hour here and there. And for a day or two things feel better, then life gets in the way, you miss a week, your dog has a bad day, and you're back at square one.
That's not a you problem. That's a consistency problem.
Reactivity doesn't get sorted in an hour a week. It gets sorted when the dog and the owner are immersed in the right training, day after day, until it clicks.
- Your stomach drops the second you spot another dog down the street.
- You've started walking at 4am just to avoid running into anyone.
- Every walk is something to survive, not enjoy.
- You've spent money on training before. It worked for a bit. Then it didn't.
- You love your dog but honestly, this is exhausting.
You're not a bad owner. And your dog is not broken. They just haven't had the right kind of help yet.
Five days changes everything.
The Bootcamp removes the gaps. No week between sessions where things slip. No going home confused about whether you're doing it right. Five consecutive days, the same trainer, building on everything from the day before, in real environments with real distractions.
By Friday, your dog can walk past another dog without losing it. They'll have a level of trust and focus that felt impossible a week earlier. And you'll actually understand your dog, not just what to do, but why it works. That's what makes it last.
Monday & Tuesday: Getting the foundations right
We start at 10am and finish at 4pm each day. The first two days are about building everything properly. We introduce the e-collar at the lowest possible level, build real motivation, and get your dog genuinely engaged with you rather than fixated on the environment. Dogs are crated while we work one-on-one with each team. Everyone gets full attention. Nothing gets rushed.
Wednesday, Thursday & Friday: Taking it into the real world
This is where it all comes together. We move into different locations across the Southern Gold Coast. Real environments, real distractions, real life scenarios. We work on building genuine change in how your dog feels around other dogs. Not managing it. Not avoiding it. Actually changing it. Most dogs are working off leash by Thursday. By Friday they're doing it in places their owners would never have taken them a week earlier.
Anything that comes up during the week gets handled during the week. You don't go home carrying an unsolved problem. We work through it together, on the day.
Only 6 dogs per intake. Here's what that means for you.
Small by design. Six dogs means your dog gets real attention every single day, every problem gets spotted and addressed, and nothing falls through the cracks.
Five Days of Immersive Training
Monday to Friday on the Southern Gold Coast. Every day builds on the last. By Friday you're not the same team you were on Monday.
Trust, Freedom and Real Communication
Your dog learns to tune into you no matter what's around them. You'll leave with a level of connection and off-leash reliability you didn't think was possible.
A Dog That Can Finally Switch Off
We work on helping your dog's nervous system actually relax. A dog that can settle at home is a happier dog, and a much easier one to live with.
Your Online Training Community
Lifetime access to our online training hub with all the resources to build and maintain your dog's food and play drive. There whenever you need it.
30 Days of Post-Bootcamp Support
We don't just wave you off on Friday. Direct access to Michelle for 30 days, plus free entry to our graduate Social Club and Pack Walks. You won't need it, but it's there.
$1,995 AUD
$500 deposit secures your spot. Full balance due 14 days before the Bootcamp.
Note: The E-Collar Technologies Mini Educator is a mandatory additional cost, purchased prior to bootcamp.
Why this works when other training hasn't.
What you've already tried
- An hour a week with a trainer. Go home and try to remember what to do.
- Miss a session and lose all the momentum you'd built.
- Your dog has a bad day mid-week and there's no one to call.
- Follow the instructions but never understand why. So when something goes wrong, you're stuck.
- Progress that takes months, and never fully sticks.
The Bootcamp
- Five consecutive days. Every session builds on the one before.
- Every problem sorted on the day. Nothing taken home to figure out alone.
- The same trainer every day, working through real environments, real distractions, real life.
- No gaps. No lost momentum. No starting over after a missed week.
- You understand your dog by the end, not just what to do, but why. That's what makes it last.
Be honest with yourself.
This is for you if...
- You've been struggling with your dog's reactivity for six months or more and nothing has fully worked.
- You're ready to stop managing the problem and actually change it.
- You're done spending money on programs that give you a "maybe this will work".
- You want to understand your dog, not just follow instructions and hope for the best.
- You can commit to five full days and you're willing to show up and do the work.
- You're open to using the right tools when they're taught properly and used with care.
This isn't for you if...
- You're not open to the e-collar. It's a big part of how we get the results we get, and we'd love to help you understand it better before you decide it's not for you.
- You want someone else to train your dog without you. You're there every day, learning alongside them.
- You can't commit to all five days. Each day builds on the last. Missing one means missing the foundation for everything that follows.
- You're looking for help with your dog, but you're not willing to make any changes to how you currently manage them at home.
What your life looks like after.
People who've been through the Bootcamp don't just talk about their dog changing. They talk about their own life changing.
Walks that you actually look forward to instead of dread.
Taking your dog to the places that made you get a dog in the first place, the beach, the cafe, the park.
Bumping into another dog on the street and not feeling your heart rate spike.
Letting your dog off leash and trusting that they'll come back.
Not having to plan every outing around avoiding triggers.
Feeling like you and your dog are finally on the same team.
What changes.
Before the Bootcamp
- You set your alarm for 4am so you can walk your dog before anyone else is out.
- You cross the road, turn around, or cut the walk short the moment you see another dog.
- You've tried treat after treat, trainer after trainer, and felt the hope fade each time.
- You wonder if you've somehow made it worse, or if you'll ever really get on top of it.
- You feel like you've failed your dog, even though you've done everything you can think of.
- You've stopped telling people what walks are really like because you're embarrassed.
After the Bootcamp
- You finally understand your dog, what they need, why they were reacting, how to help them.
- Your dog sees another dog and looks back at you instead of losing it.
- People from Bootcamp 1 are still messaging months later. Still off leash. Still going great.
- You're doing the things you got a dog for, the beach, the cafe, the weekend markets.
- Your dog is off leash and you're not holding your breath.
- You walk your dog. Just walk them. No white-knuckling the lead.
The proof is in the dogs.
Red, the rescue Staffy
Red came in as a rescue. His owner wasn't sure she could trust him. He'd cannonball toward other dogs and jump all over people, and that unpredictability made every outing feel like a risk. By the end of the week she didn't just have a calmer dog. She had a dog she understood. Red now has the freedom he deserves, and his owner has the confidence to give it to him.
Larry, the Aussie Shepherd
Larry lived life at full volume. He'd completely blow off his owner, couldn't be trusted off leash, jumped on everyone, wanted to play with every dog he saw. Too big, too much, too hard to give the exercise he needed. Now he's off leash every day. He checks in. They go camping, they travel, they're just out living their life together. Even the stuff at home. Stealing clothes, jumping on the flatmates. Gone. Because a fulfilled dog is a different dog.
6 dogs maximum
Every intake, no exceptions. Small enough that nothing gets missed and every dog gets real, individual attention.
Specialising in reactive dogs
Not general obedience with a reactivity module bolted on. Reactive dogs are all I do.
Don't take our word for it.
Six spots. One week. A completely different dog.

I'm Michelle.
Reactive dog owners started finding me. I'm not sure I went looking for it, it just kept happening. People would come to me with dogs that had been written off or misunderstood, and I could see what everyone else was missing. It wasn't just about the behaviour in front of them. It was the whole dog. Their sleep, their diet, their exercise, their nervous system, their relationship with their owner. Simple things that nobody had looked at. When we changed those things, the reactivity changed with them. That's not something I learned from a textbook. It just came naturally.
I've been specialising in reactive dogs ever since. The Bootcamp came out of watching what happened when training was consistent, immersive and uninterrupted. Weekly sessions get results. Five straight days get something else entirely.
I've been mentored by some of the best trainers in the world, Michael Ellis, Pat Stuart and Jacob Morgan, through the Yorkshire Canine Academy Mentorship. I'm direct, I'll always tell you what I think, but I'll be in your corner the whole week and the 30 days after it.
We're that confident.
By the end of the five days, your dog will have made significant, visible improvement. You'll be able to take them to places you couldn't before. That's not a hope. That's what happens when the training is done properly.
If we get to Friday and we're not happy with where your dog is, I'll keep working with you, in whatever capacity that needs to be, until we are.
We're that confident in what this week delivers. We've never had to make good on that promise. But it stands.
Questions worth asking.
Think about how long you've already been dealing with this. A year? Two? More? In that time. How many walks have you avoided, how many places have you not been, how much have you already spent on training that got you part of the way there?
Five days off work is a real commitment. But it's five days that actually changes things. Not reduces it a bit. Changes it. Everyone who came to Bootcamp 1 said the same thing afterwards. They only wished they'd done it sooner.
You're getting five full days of specialist training, six hours a day, with a trainer who's there every single day building on everything from the session before. No gaps. No going home confused. No momentum lost between weeks.
If you broke this into private hourly sessions it would cost significantly more and take months to get through. The Bootcamp costs what it costs because of what it actually delivers. Most people come out the other side saying it's the best money they've spent on their dog.
That reaction makes complete sense, especially if you've only ever seen e-collars used badly.
First thing worth knowing: we only use E-Collar Technologies Mini or Micro Educators. These are widely considered the gold standard in the industry. They're designed with precision stimulation levels, which means we can work at incredibly low settings that are consistent and humane. These are not the cheap collars you might have seen used harshly online.
Here's how we actually use it. We introduce it from day one at the lowest possible level, so low that we genuinely can't feel it ourselves. Your dog learns that when they feel that sensation, they come back to you and get rewarded. It becomes a line of communication, not a consequence.
A big part of leash reactivity comes from years of frustration on the leash. The e-collar removes that frustration. It gives your dog a new way to connect with you and more freedom, and that freedom is actually what reduces the reactivity. It's introduced properly before we ever go near a distraction, and always used at the lowest level that works for that dog.
It's part of the program because it's how we get your dog genuinely off leash by Friday. That's the result. This is how we get there.
It's a fair thing to wonder and I'd rather you asked it out loud than sat with it.
In five days of consistent, immersive training. Every dog from our first intake made significant improvement. All of them are still off leash months later. But if we get to Friday and we're not where we hoped to be, I'll keep working with you until we are. That's the promise.
Sometimes, yes. You'd need a second handler. One person can't work two dogs properly at the same time. Check with me at the time of booking and we'll work out if it's possible for that intake.
Dogs are waterproof. So is the e-collar. We have undercover space for the theory side of things, and for everything else. Raincoats on, we keep going. The week doesn't stop for weather.
You leave with direct access to me for 30 days, phone, video call, whatever you need. You also get free entry to our graduate Social Club and Pack Walks so you keep getting real-world practice with support around you.
Honestly, most people find they don't need much after the week. But knowing it's there makes a difference. We don't just wave you off on Friday.
No, you arrange your own in the Southern Gold Coast or Northern NSW area. Plenty of great options nearby. Some people make a proper week of it.
Yes. $500 secures your spot at booking. The full balance isn't due until 14 days before the Bootcamp starts, so you've got time in between. If you need something more flexible, reach out before you apply and we'll have a chat.
