Big Feelings Reactivity Reset in just 60 days
If walks feel like a minefield and adventures are just a dream, the Big Feelings Reactivity Reset program gives you a fresh start.
Swap lunging, barking, and chaos for calm focus, loose-leash walks, and reliability in the real world.
Not perfection—just a dog you can take places without holding your breath.
You dreamed of the perfect dog…
Then reality hit.
Walks are stressful. Recall is a joke. Hyperactive outbursts are the new normal.
Big Feelings Reactivity Reset is for first-time dog owners who are trying their best but still stuck with:
Pulling, lunging, and barking on walks
Ignoring recall when it matters most
Over-the-top excitement or stress around dogs, people, noises
A dog that goes 0–100 in a blink
Confusing advice from every corner of the internet
Ready for clarity, calm, and confidence? You’re exactly where you need to be.
That used to be me
Hi, I’m Carolina — the human behind Dynamo Dogs. And yes, I know exactly how overwhelmed you feel.
I started out right where you are, living with my dream dog Cricket — a beautiful, brilliant Kelpie… who was also a rehomed chaos monkey bursting with unfulfilled energy and reactivity. Lunging, barking, stressful walks, avoiding triggers, paraying that she’d somehow ‘grow out of it’: that became my new normal.
Spoiler: she didn’t.
Cricket taught me more than any course ever could — about trust, patience, boundaries, and what it really takes to support a struggling dog.
The big shift?
Realising calm, reliable behaviour isn’t about tighter control. It’s about understanding your dog, communicating clearly, and giving them real-life skills. Because, like you, I didn’t get a dog to add stress. I wanted adventures, a running buddy, a best mate.
And with the right approach, that’s exactly what I got.
That insight became the Big Feelings Reactivity Reset: simple, practical steps to rebuild trust, teach calm, and bring joy back to life with your dog. Now I help everyday people who feel stuck, frustrated, or like they’re somehow ‘getting it wrong.’ My job is to walk beside you — guiding you from chaos to confidence, one honest, curious step at a time.
If you’re ready to build trust, communication, and connection with your dog (without changing who they are), you’re in the right place. We’re in this together.
Yep. That’s me and Cricket, the dog that started it allGo from ‘oh-no!’ to ‘heck yes!’ and book your free discovery call today.
If you’re wondering whether the training program actually works, let the people who’ve done it answer that for you.
Their dogs had big feels. Now they’ve got big results.
An yep, they started exactly where you are: tired, embarrassed, and hoping something would finally make a difference.
Press play to hear how the Big Feelings Reactivity Reset helped them rebuild confidence, connection, and calm.
From chaos to ‘we’ve got this.’
“It’s been so worth every single cent, the way I’m enjoying my life now. Stop waiting, stop overthinking and wasting time, just do it.”
Tania & Nanuk the Samoyed
“We used to be confined to neighbourhood walks but now, she has a lot more freedom. She’s a much happier dog and I’m a much happier person.”
Taylor & Pinto the Kelpie X
Imagine 60 days from now…
Instead of tiptoeing around the neighbourhood at 3am, hoping no one sees you, you calmly clip Spud’s leash on and head out before breakfast. No anxiety knot, no scanning for trouble—just a relaxed walk (coffee in hand) while Spud sniffs and meanders.
Suddenly, Bobby and his spoodle Susan appear—but instead of panicking and preparing for a leash tug-of-war, you keep walking, confident Spud won’t go barking or lunging.
At the park, you unclip the leash, letting Spud explore, safe in the knowledge he’ll come flying back when called. You sip your coffee, daydreaming about the weekend hike—and quickly ping the group chat to see who’s keen for off-leash adventures (and a bakery stop, of course).
Back home, Spud happily settles on his bed, snoring softly while you prep for the day.
‘Imagine that,’ you think, ‘heading out bush with friends and dogs, and my only worry is which bakery we hit first. Six months ago, this felt impossible.’
Thanks to the Big Feelings Reactivity Reset, you’ve gone from knot-in-your-stomach walks to planning adventures—and finally, life with your dog is fun again.
Should’ve done it sooner.
What to do next
If you’re nodding along thinking ‘this is exactly what we need,’ the next step is simple: book a free discovery call.
This call isn’t a pitch — it’s a chance for us to chat about what’s going on with your dog, what you’ve already tried, and where you want things to be.
I’ll walk you through what working together could look like and let you know if my Big Feelings reactivity reset program is the right fit. If it is — amazing. If not — I’ll point you toward a better option.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Let’s talk.

“Carolina became one of my dog’s favourite visitors! We went from barking and going nuts at people coming over and at traffic, to being more calm and in tune with one another. Highly recommend her and taking your relationship with your dog to the next level.”

“Working with Carolina was a total game changer. Raleigh’s gone from scared and cautious to confident and curious. We went from feeling anxious every day, to telling each other how lucky we are to have her. Join the Dynamo Dogs fam, you and your dog will love it!”

“If you need help with training or behaviour issues then Carolina is my recommendation especially if you own a working dog. My 3-year-old cattle dog Max has shown huge improvement in his confidence and decision making. I've worked with a few trainers in the past but none have shown as much passion and care as Carolina.”

“Carolina is an absolute miracle worker. My rescue dog Ace was a bit of a handful, and barely listened to me. Having completed 1:1 training , the relationship between Ace and I has improved greatly. As a result, he is much calmer and it’s considerably easier to focus away from distractions.”

“I’ve tried a lot of trainers, but it always felt like something was missing, or they would make me feel more stressed. Carolina's program was what Egg and I needed! She taught me how to fulfill Egg's needs and how to communicate better. I appreciate how Carolina was able to convey the message in a kind way and now Egg and I have more fun together.”

“Absolutely amazing trainer and human! My doggo had social anxiety and couldn’t deal with loud noises. Now I have a dog that stays on her bed as you come and go, can walk perfectly on and off leash and isn’t scared of the world outside! Can’t thank the sessions and check-ins enough!”
Ashlea & Brandi the Bordoodle

“Carolina had a great approach to dog training and communicated practical tips clearly. She is all about positive reinforcement but doesn’t ignore the problematic behaviours that come with an anxious working dog. I felt in good hands and I think my dog Poppy has fallen in love.”

We’re Not for Everyone
As the engine behind Dynamo Dogs, I specialise in helping dogs with Big Feelings – especially those who react strongly to the world around them.
Guided by curiosity (looking for the why behind the behaviour), courage (showing up for the hard stuff and helping others do the same), passion (which drives everything I do, I love this work even when it’s messy), adventure (because training is about living, not controlling) and honesty (clear, kind communication always), we focus on building trust and reducing stress for both you and your dog.
Through a balance of structure, play, and real-life practice, we help you turn reactivity into resilience – together.
— and that’s okay —
✅ We’re a great fit if you...
Have a reactive, over-the-top, or ‘oh no, not again’ kind of dog
Value guidance, support, and zero judgment (because guilt doesn’t train dogs)
Care more about calm, confident behaviour than cookie-cutter obedience
Are ready to roll up your sleeves and actually put in the work
Want real-world progress, not just forgettable theory
🚫 This probably ain’t gonna work if you...
Expect someone to ‘fix’ your dog without your involvement
Prioritise perfect obedience over relationship and progress
Are looking for quick fixes or overnight results
Can’t commit a little time each week to practise
Are chasing fast results instead of lasting change

Rock-solid guarantees
I am so confident the Big Feelings Reactivity Reset program works, I’ll put my money where my mouth is.
Show up, do the homework, share your practice videos. If you don’t see clear improvement in leash calm and handler focus by week 6, I’ll keep working with you until you do at no extra cost.*
No fluff, no empty promises. I can’t guarantee you a ‘perfect’ dog (whatever that even means) —but I can guarantee the tools, skills, and support to change the way you live together… and finally see some real results.
* Conditions apply, of course. If I genuinely can’t help, I won’t pretend to—I’ll point you to someone who can.
