Hyper Hounds FAQ

For every guardian who’s ever felt judged, ashamed, or defeated because of their dog’s reactivity — you’re not alone. Reactivity isn’t the result of bad training or failure. It’s stress, survival instincts, and nervous systems in overdrive. The “fight or flight” response is automatic, not intentional. Your dog isn’t giving you a hard time — they’re having a hard time. At Hyper Hounds, we specialise in supporting dogs with BIG feelings (and their humans). Our classes are designed to: Build confidence Improve communication Increase calm Strengthen the bond between you and your dog All in a safe, supportive space where every dog is seen, heard, and understood. Whether your dog struggles with fear, anxiety, reactivity, handling issues, or shows aggression towards people or other dogs, our program provides practical skills and compassionate guidance. Some behaviours require a specialised approach — especially when dogs react strongly to unfamiliar dogs or people. These challenges often come from underlying emotions like fear or insecurity. Jacqueline is an experienced Certified Professional Dog Trainer skilled at recognising these needs and helping both you and your dog move towards calmer, more positive outcomes. Let go of guilt. Step into compassion. Join us at Hyper Hounds and help your dog thrive. As this is a specialised class places are limited to 3 dogs to set your dog up for success This is a 6 Week Class starting on Saturday the 20th of September and will be a dog free introduction to the course.
