As a certified trainer specializing in reactive dogs in downtown Toronto, I know firsthand how stressful walks can be when your dog barks, lunges, or pulls - it can feel isolating.
I've also had a reactive dog - and this is the exact system I used to achieve relaxed walks we both look forward to!
That’s why I created Leash Reactive to Calm: a self‑paced online course that brings my most popular in-person training program straight to your laptop.
Using proven, positive reinforcement methods, it helps your dog feel calm and confident - so you can finally enjoy walks instead of dreading them & have an effective, simple 3 week training plan to follow.

Presented by Gabrielle Messuti, BSc., KPA CTP Founder & Head Trainer of The Dog Mamaa
I've been working with dogs of all breeds & behaviour challenges for nearly a decade, and have gravitated towards helping reactive dogs and their guardians thrive together. I've helped countless dogs in Toronto live more peaceful lives with their humans through my highly popular, Leash Reactive to Calm & Reactive Dog Rehab training packages - and wanted to create an accessible, self paced version online that is equally impactful and useful for reactive dog owners around the world. This course is based on force free, science based positive reinforcement training methods, to truly change how your dog feels about their triggers for long lasting behaviour change.
These are client who were once struggling every walk - just like you. Here's what happened when they followed my system step by step.
Nat & Momo
Highly recommend!
Gabrielle's personalized approach and intuitive guidance in reactive dog rehabilitation have greatly boosted both me and my pup Momo's confidence during our walks. With her kind support and extensive knowledge of dog behavior, Momo has made remarkable progress. After completing five sessions, her training was able to significantly reduce his anxiety around triggers and decrease his overall reactivity.
Thank you again for your exceptional training services!
Farrah & Yogi
Gabrielle helped my dog overcome behavioral issues including reactivity towards other dogs. I've tried a few trainers in the past but have noticed a significant improvement in my dog's behavior thanks to Gabrielle's easy-to-follow methods. I loved that Gabrielle came directly to our neighbourhood to work on my dog's triggers. She was also always available for follow-up questions.
