YOUR TRAINER & DOGGY LIFE COACH
At Lil' Rascals Dog Training, we understand the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies training a reactive dog. It's challenging, and often overwhelming, but with our signature Reactivity Rehab program, you're not alone. This program isn't just about obedience—it's about forging a path to lasting change through trust, safety, and mutual understanding.
​
We don't just manage symptoms with endless training and avoidance; we dig deep into the underlying causes of your dog's reactivity. Whether it's health issues, environmental stressors, unmet needs, or unresolved past traumas, our strategies are tailored to address these complex factors. Using modern, evidence-based methods informed by the latest advances in canine psychology and trauma recovery, we work to transform both behavior and understanding.
​
Here, your dog is seen as a partner and a family member, never just a problem to be solved. In our Reactivity Rehab program, each dog and pet parent's individuality and unique needs are recognized and honored, ensuring that the solutions we offer are not only effective but also deeply transformative. As we navigate this journey together, we create a space where true healing and bonding can occur, setting the stage for a stronger, more connected relationship between you and your beloved dog.

Take Action
Begin your journey with a complimentary discovery call. This initial conversation is where we really get to know you and your dog. We’ll dive into your current challenges, discuss your goals, and explore the unique aspects of your dog's reactivity. This is the first step in crafting a strategy that truly fits your needs.
After identifying the gaps in your current approach, we'll develop a custom game plan tailored just for you. During this phase, we’ll outline actionable steps and innovative strategies to address your dog's specific reactivity issues. Our goal is to provide a clear, focused path forward, so you feel confident and equipped to help your dog overcome their challenges.
At the end of our Discovery Call, you'll have the opportunity to continue working with us through our Reactivity Rehab Program. Should you choose to proceed, we will discuss what ongoing support would look like. This program is designed to provide you with continuous assistance, adapting as needed to the progress and specific needs of your dog.
Testimonials
Ashley is truly one of a kind! I reached out to her when I realized my puppy, Luna, was not going to “grow out of it” when it came to her being afraid of literally everything outside of our apartment. Over the past year, Luna has gone from fearful to extremely brave and resilient, thanks to Ashley’s program. She has taught me how to be a better mom to my sweet girl and has changed our lives more than she will ever know.
