Stressed owner with reactive dog

You feel the overwhelming guilt every single day.

The guilt of not giving your dog the life they deserve. You dread going for walks, constantly scanning the horizon for the next trigger.

The lunging, the barking, the pulling - it’s embarrassing, stressful, and isolating. You’ve started to think:

"I feel like it could be too late."

It feels like he’s in the driver's seat, but he doesn’t have a license, and you’re both heading for a crash. You’re starting to lose hope.

You are not alone.

This is not your fault. 90% of our clients come to us feeling this exact same way. This isn’t a reflection of you or your dog. It’s a reflection of an industry filled with conflicting, and often damaging, advice.

The Common Misconception

Most people believe the answer is more training—stronger obedience, more socialization, or finding that one magic treat. But here’s the truth: for a reactive dog, piling on more obedience without addressing the root cause is like trying to fix a leaking pipe by shouting at the water. It doesn’t just fail to work; it often makes the problem much, much worse.

Introducing

The Training With Instinct™ Programme

We don’t put a band-aid of obedience over your dog’s behavioural issues. We change their emotional response to the trigger.

Available Worldwide. 100% Online. Proven Everywhere.

01

The Game Plan

We start with a 1-on-1 deep dive to create a personalized, step-by-step game plan for your dog. No two dogs are the same, and your plan will reflect that.

02

Foundation & Fulfilment

You’ll learn our core methods for providing real fulfilment and building motivation that lasts. This is where you’ll see the first shifts in your dog’s behaviour.

03

Real-World Application

Through our comprehensive course library, daily support calls, and 1-on-1 coaching, you’ll apply these skills in the real world, with our team in your pocket 24/7.

04

Freedom

The result? A dog that can settle in public, a rock-solid recall, and the certainty that your dog won’t hurt anyone. You get your life back.

The Outcome Vision

Imagine enjoying peaceful walks again. Imagine feeling confident and in control, able to take your dog anywhere without fear or stress.

Imagine your dog being calm and focused on you, even when triggers appear. That's not a dream. That's what's possible and what we aim to achieve for every owner and dog that works with us.

Happy calm dog

Does It Last? 2 Years Later.

Real results aren't just for today. They're for life. Here's what Sarah had to say 2 years after graduating TWI.

Sarah & Stanley

"We took Stanley to the Lake District, expecting it to be quiet... it absolutely wasn’t. Dogs everywhere, loads of people, swans. All the things that would usually be challenging for him."

"I honestly couldn’t believe how well he handled it. We were able to walk, sit outside cafés and people-watch, and he was completely chill."

"One evening we took him into a restaurant and he slept the entire time, even when people came close to me. I don’t think we’d fully realised just how much progress he’s made until being in those environments."

"It has genuinely changed things for us and for Stanley. Thank you so much 🤍"

Join hundreds of owners who've gone from dreading walks to enjoying freedom with their dogs. Real people. Real results. Real transformations.

The YCA Way vs. The Old Way

The Old Way (Traditional & Positive-Only Trainers)

  • Focuses on obedience to mask the problem.
  • Uses distraction-based techniques that are doomed to fail.
  • Fights against your dog’s natural instincts.
  • Relies on endless bribes (treats) that lose power.
  • Often makes the problem worse, leading to years of frustration.

The YCA Way (Training With Instinct™)

  • Focuses on changing the dog’s emotional state to solve the problem.
  • Teaches the dog how to cope with triggers, not just avoid them.
  • Works with your dog’s natural instincts and desires.
  • Builds real, lasting motivation from within.
  • We are the last trainer you will ever need to hire. Guaranteed.

Bit of background on our dog, he is a rescue from abroad and we went to visit the rescue before hand and our dog had no reactivity issues whatsoever. Since bringing him back to the UK reactivity with strangers and other dogs became more and more frequent.

Hi, yes, I used them when I had no idea what to do with my reactive dog. I can honestly say their training has been the best thing I've ever done for me and my dog. After I attended a 5 day Bootcamp in October this year, life since has genuinely been transformed for both of us.

After losing our rescue dog of 12 years who was so submissive and gentle, we fostered another who turned out to be reactive around other dogs. Which opened a whole new world to us as we had never experienced this before.

Jacob Morgan

I'm Jacob Morgan, and I've Been Exactly Where You Are.

Our journey began with a familiar story: a new puppy and a world of conflicting advice. In 2016, I brought home Ranger, a Staffy/German Shepherd cross, with the best intentions.

I followed all the popular methods, but despite my efforts, he developed severe reactivity at just six months old. The conventional wisdom had failed us. I was left with a dog I couldn't control and a profound sense of frustration.

That failure was the catalyst. I had to unlearn everything. I dedicated myself to finding methods that build a genuine work ethic and a strong, respectful relationship. The transformation in Ranger created a domino effect that lead us to where we are today.

We are very unlikely to be the first trainer people try, but we are guaranteed to be the last.
