Board & Train — Reactive Dog Program

Specialised training for reactive and aggressive dogs

We've spent 10+ years working with the cases other trainers refer out. Reactive dogs are our specialty — not an afterthought.

A note from Denise

Denise — Head trainer, Nisi & Lisi

If you're feeling embarrassed or scared by your dog's behaviour, I want you to know — this is exactly what I do. I've worked with hundreds of reactive dogs and I've truly seen it all. Text me any time.

★★★★★

We had tried two other trainers before finding Nisi & Lisi. After 4 weeks, our reactive shepherd was walking calmly on leash past other dogs. I genuinely didn't think it was possible.

A typical day for your dog

One-on-one focused work on your dog's specific goals — when dogs are freshest and most receptive.

MID

Real-world outing

Walks, hikes and town visits to practise in real environments — not just in a training yard.

AFT

Socialisation and enrichment

Carefully managed time with other dogs, people, and animals on our 5-acre property.

EVE

Rest and home life

Your dog settles in our home — not a kennel. Evenings are calm, comfortable and family-style.


FAQ

Will the training stick when my dog comes home?

Yes — but only if you follow through at home too. That's why every program ends with a full home orientation and 12 months of trainer support. We teach you what we taught your dog.

My dog has bitten someone. Can you still help?

In most cases, yes. Dogs with a bite history are muzzle trained during the program for safety. We assess every dog individually — fill in the assessment form and we'll be honest with you about what's possible.

How far do dogs travel to attend?

Dogs fly and drive to us from across BC and Alberta. Pickup is available from Kelowna, Chilliwack and Vancouver, with Lower Mainland door-to-door starting July 2026.
