Support for Reactive, Anxious &

Sensitive Dogs - Without the Pressure of

In-Person Consults

Frenchies and bull breeds feel the world more intensely than most.

That doesn’t make them stubborn, dramatic, or naughty -

it makes them sensitive. Here, we learn to tame the triggers step

by step, building safety, understanding and calm.

Feel safe to go slow. Change doesn’t need to be rushed.

Helping Anxious, Fearful & Reactive Dogs - And the Humans Who Love Them

If your dog is struggling with reactivity, overwhelm, barking, lunging, frustration, mouthiness, watchdog behaviours, or difficulty switching off - you’re not alone. We specialise in sensitive dogs with big feelings, especially French Bulldogs and other small bull breeds.

🐾 For French Bulldogs & Small Bull Breeds:

Barking or lunging at dogs or people
Walks that feel unpredictable or overwhelming
Doorbell or visitor meltdowns
Overarousal (jumping, grabbing, “can’t switch off”)
Separation stress or pacing at home
Guarding food, toys, sofas or space
Multi-dog household tension or scuffles

🧠 For Pet Parents:

 

✅ Burnout & frustration from dealing with stubborn but sensitive dogs

✅ Managing imposter syndrome & self-doubt in training

✅ Building confidence when dealing with strong-willed dogs

✅ Reducing stress around challenging behaviours in affectionate but intense breeds

Wherever you are in your journey, we’re here to support both ends of the lead.

Training That Feels Like Play – But Works Like Magic

Traditional training can feel like a chore, but what if you could help your dog make better choices in just a few minutes a day - by simply playing games?

Every dog has a unique personality - some are bold and confident, others more cautious or easily distracted. French Bulldogs and small bull breeds, in particular, have big personalities - your Frenchie might be an excitable whirlwind or a laid-back observer, but all dogs have one thing in common… They learn best when they’re having fun!

 

That’s why our training approach is designed specifically for these breeds. Smart, sensitive, and deeply connected to their owners, these breeds can also be surprisingly challenging to train. They thrive on fun, engagement, and connection, which is why our approach is built around game-based learning—a powerful, science-backed way to reshape behaviour in a way that feels natural and rewarding for your dog.

✅ No more forcing behaviours - just smart, playful training that works.
✅ Turn training into a daily bonding experience instead of a battle.
✅ Watch your dog develop key life skills - like focus, calmness, and confidence.

With the Calluna Club, you’ll get simple, game-based steps designed for your dog’s unique needs - no overwhelm, no pressure. Inside the club, we teach you which games to use, when to use them, and how to adapt them so your Frenchie learns in a way that feels instinctive and enjoyable.
It’s not about “fixing behaviours” with more commands; it’s about building confidence, calmness, and connection through play.

🔹 Struggling to guide your pup in the right direction? We’ve got you.


🔹 Not sure how to teach key skills without frustration? We can help.

🔹 Want training that feels good for both of you? That’s what we do here.

WHAT OTHER TRIGGER TAMERS ARE SAYING

We went for our first weekend trip since getting Zoe, so absolutely everything we did was completely new to her. I was a fair bit worried about how she’d take so much novelty but she went above and beyond my expectations!
 
I couldn't be happier!
