Living in Colorado means endless opportunities for outdoor adventures, but if your dog reacts to every stranger, bike, or barking pup you pass, those outings can feel stressful instead of fun. The good news? Reactivity is something you can fix with the right approach and guidance. At Dog Dynamix, our dog reactivity training programs are designed to turn chaos into calm so you can enjoy life with your dog again.
What is a Reactive Dog?
A reactive dog is one that overreacts to everyday triggers. Instead of calmly observing a jogger, another dog, or a loud noise, a reactive dog may lunge, bark, growl, or pull on the leash. Reactivity is not the same as aggression—most reactive dogs are anxious, fearful, or overstimulated. Without training, though, reactivity can become a lifelong habit that limits where you go and what you do with your dog.
5 Signs Your Dog Is a Reactive Dog
- Excessive Barking – Loud, nonstop barking at other dogs, people, or noises.
- Lunging or Pulling on Leash – Trying to charge toward or away from a trigger.
- Over-Focusing – Fixating on one distraction and refusing to listen to you.
- Growling or Snapping – Stress behaviors that come from fear or overstimulation.
- Difficulty Calming Down – Taking a long time to relax after a trigger is gone.
If your dog shows any of these signs, structured training is the key to change.
Dog Reactivity Training
At Dog Dynamix, we specialize in dog reactivity training that focuses on real-world results. We don’t just teach obedience in a classroom; we take training into Colorado’s parks, trails, and public spaces so your dog learns how to behave in the environments you live in every day.
We offer three flexible programs:
- Board & Train – An immersive, full-time program where your dog lives with our trainers and works daily on reactivity, obedience, and calm behavior.
- Adventure Program – We pick up your dog, train them during the day in real-world settings, and return them home in the evening.
- Daycare Training – You drop off your dog, we provide structured reactivity training, and you pick up a calmer pup at the end of the day.
All of our programs are designed by Lisa Lucero, a nationally recognized competitive trainer with over 17 years of experience. Our focus is giving Colorado families reliable results so they can stop worrying and start enjoying life with their dogs again.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dog Reactivity Training
What is the difference between a reactive dog and an aggressive dog?
A reactive dog overreacts to triggers like other dogs, people, or noises. They may bark, lunge, or pull. Aggression is intent to harm; reactivity is often based on fear or overstimulation. With training, most reactive dogs can become calm and confident.
How long does dog reactivity training take?
Every dog learns at a different pace, but many families see improvements within the first few sessions. Our immersive Board & Train program provides the fastest results, while Adventure and Daycare Training reinforce progress in real-world settings.
What methods do you use for reactivity training?
We use structured, balanced training that combines positive reinforcement with clear boundaries. Training happens in real Colorado environments—parks, trails, and public spaces—so your dog learns to focus and stay calm where it matters most.
