Meet Jackson – Founder & Lead Trainer
Your Reactive Dog Wasn't Meant to Spend Its Life on a Lead.
If your dog is reactive, life can quickly become a constant cycle of managing, avoiding and worrying about what might happen next.
I'm Jackson, founder of Hoffman Dog Training, and I specialise in helping reactive and high-drive dogs become calm, reliable and trustworthy in the real world.
With a background as a professional K9 handler, I use balanced training, clear communication and properly conditioned e-collar work to build reliability around real distractions — not just in a controlled training environment.
But the goal isn't simply to have a dog that behaves on a lead.
The goal is freedom.
Freedom to run on the beach. Explore the trails. Mix with other dogs. Go to cafés. Enjoy life without constantly managing your dog.
Because your reactive dog deserves more than a life on a lead.
They deserve the freedom to live it.
WHAT WE DO HERE
-
Removing Reactivity
Our Removing Reactivity Package is an 8 week plan, built to take dogs from reactive, restricted and difficult to manage — to calm, reliable and genuinely free.
We use a structured, balanced approach, including e-collar conditioning, clear communication and real-world exposure, to help your dog learn how to stay calm and responsive around the things that once triggered them.
Because reactivity doesn't just affect your dog — it affects your entire life together. Walks become stressful. Beaches and parks become off-limits. You start avoiding people, dogs and places you used to enjoy.
We want to change that.
As your dog progresses, we gradually increase distractions and environments while building the reliability needed to confidently handle the real world. The goal isn't simply a dog that behaves on a lead — it's a dog you can trust off-leash.
That means working towards the freedom to run on the beach, explore trails, socialise with other dogs, visit cafés and enjoy everyday life without constantly worrying about what might happen next.
We're not just trying to stop reactivity. We're giving your dog their freedom back — and giving you the confidence to enjoy life together again.
