You didn't sign up for a dog you can only walk at 5am.
Most owners we meet have been at this for months, sometimes years. They've done the one-to-ones with a trainer who claims to specialise in reactivity. They've got every bit of equipment under the sun. They've read the books and watched the videos. And they're still planning their walks when other dogs won't be out.
- ✕Walking at 5am or 10pm because it's the only time you won't see another dog, person, cyclist, or pram.
- ✕Doubling back, crossing the road, or hiding behind a parked car every time you spot a dog 30 metres away.
- ✕Refusing to take your dog to a café, a beer garden, a friend's house, or anywhere with foot traffic - because you already know how it ends.
- ✕Treats stop working the second they see a trigger. They're 'lost to it' and you don't exist anymore.
- ✕A behaviourist has suggested anxiety meds, or in worse cases, rehoming… because they've genuinely run out of ideas.
- ✕You've already spent thousands across multiple trainers. Nothing has stuck. Your partner has started asking whether this is the right dog for your family.

"Adam is top tier! We reached out to him for help with our Golden Retriever, Blue - particularly with recall, loose leash walking, and his arousal around other dogs. At the time, we were feeling exhausted and frustrated after months of failed attempts. The transformation has been incredible."
Isabelle King
Blue - Golden Retriever, arousal around other dogs, leash pulling
"Adam is a bit of a life saver. He has transformed my dog, and me as his owner and walker. Having spent close to $3,000 on training with other trainers, I had started to feel my dog was past saving - but Adam worked his magic on me and Remy."
Fangzoe Davies
Remy - $3,000 spent on previous trainers with no results
"I was initially nervous about e-collar training, but working with Adam completely put me at ease. The results have been incredible. My dog now has so much more freedom and can be off-lead in places I never thought possible."
Ryan McLaughlin
Dog reactivity & off-lead freedom
"I cannot recommend Adam highly enough! I brought my 2-year-old Rottweiler, Clover, to him because we were struggling with leash pulling and heavy reactivity toward other dogs and people. The results were immediate. After just one session, the change was undeniable."
Ethan Beaman
Clover - 2yr Rottweiler, leash pulling & heavy reactivity to dogs & people
"Perth Canine Academy is the best in the biz! We reached out to Adam to help with our reactive and leash pulling French Bulldog and he completely transformed in under 2 months. No more leash pulling, great recall and we are now 2 anxiety-free dog owners. Couldn't recommend Adam enough."
Zoee Wood
Rocket - French Bulldog, reactive & leash pulling
"Working with Adam from Perth Canine Academy has been an absolute game changer for our family. Before training, walks were stressful and managing our dog around our young kids felt overwhelming. Now it's completely different - harmony restored."
Sebastian Decotter
Family dog - stressful walks, unsafe around young kids
Why one-to-ones in an empty field haven't fixed your dog.
TRADITIONAL REACTIVITY TRAINING
- ✕One trainer, one dog, one session a week with no end in sight. Your dog never actually sees another dog up close in training.
- ✕Slow distance work in quiet, sterile environments for months, that eventually build up to the dog walking past triggers at 30 metres.
- ✕High-value treats to engage and disengage. Works until the trigger is closer than the treat is interesting, which is most of the time.
- ✕Avoidance dressed up as training: cross the road, change direction, manage the environment. Forever.
- ✕When you get nowhere, you get referred out - to a behaviourist, to the vet for medication, or sometimes to a conversation you didn't want to have.
PERTH CANINE ACADEMY
- ✓Eight reactive dogs in the same, controlled space from day one. Your dog learns around their actual trigger, not a stand-in.
- ✓Five days, six hours a day. By Friday your dog has done more reactive-dog reps than they'd do in a year of weekly sessions.
- ✓Real-world environments - pubs, parks, narrow footpaths, off-leash dogs we don't know running up to us. The places you actually want to take your dog.
- ✓We coach the owner properly. You leave knowing how to handle it yourself so you're not dependent on us forever.
- ✓Money-back guarantee. If you follow the steps but don't get the results, we refund you in full. We stand behind what we do.
Is this right for you?
The bootcamp works for most reactive dogs. Here's who gets the most out of it.
- ✓Your dog is reactive on and off lead - to dogs, people, cars, bikes, prams, or all of the above.
- ✓You've already tried at least one trainer and it hasn't held, or it's gone backwards.
- ✓You can take a week off (Mon–Fri) and get to Bibra Lake. We've got clients who travel from all across WA and even interstate.
- ✓You're prepared to be coached. The bootcamp is focused on training YOU just as much as your dog.
- ✓You want a dog that can come everywhere with you - cafés, hikes, the school run - not a dog you walk at 5am in a muzzle.
What you won't be doing.
Spending endless 1-to-1 sessions at '30 metres from a stooge dog' with little progress.
Rummaging for premium steak or other high-value treats every time another dog turns the corner.
Booking yet another behaviourist who claims to specialise in your specific breed.
Medicating a dog that doesn't actually need medication.
Leaving the dog in someone else's hands for weeks and hoping they've fixed the issues, without actually training you in how they've done it.
Paying for any further training and getting zero results.
Most reactivity methods rely on managing the environment forever or progressing so slowly that life moves on without you. We don't do either. By Friday you're not managing - you're walking past the thing your dog used to lose its mind over, and your dog isn't reacting.
The numbers behind the bootcamp.

THE STORY
I've been exactly where you are.
I started Perth Canine Academy because I was sick of watching reactive dogs get failed by the same handful of methods. I'd been around training long enough to see the same loop on repeat - owner gets a difficult dog, owner does positive-only for six months, owner gets recommended a behaviourist, behaviourist doesn't fix it, and somewhere down the line the conversation turns to medication or rehoming. The dog wasn't the problem. The training was.
The bootcamp format came out of running one-to-ones for years and seeing the same ceiling: an hour a week with one dog in an empty field doesn't beat the rest of the week the dog is rehearsing the wrong thing. So I built the opposite. Five days. Eight dogs. The trigger isn't avoided - it's the entire room. The first time we ran it I genuinely didn't know if 8 reactive dogs in a pub would work. It did. We've run it every week since.

"We contacted Perth Canine Academy to help with training our dog, Shadow, focusing on general obedience and help with introduction and safe living with our newborn. Before the training, Shadow was whining and clearly unsettled when our son came home. Now our whole family can live happily together."
