The Truth About Reactive Behavior
Dogs lunging and barking at triggers, or stress barking at everything, or obsessively chasing or hunting, or anxious or nervous and unable to cope … are NOT training issues.
These behaviors are SYMPTOMS and expressions of the deeper root causes under the surface. These dogs (YOUR dog) are communicating in the only way they can: with their big, sometimes baffling, behavior.
The longer their communication is unheard or misunderstood, the more their behavior escalates. The more we try to fix their escalating behavior, the more our dog escalates. All the while, we keep getting more stressed, and soon we’re spiraling in reactivity together.
🌪 THE TRUTH IS: “dog behavior training” ignores the REAL, root causes of your dog’s overwhelming behavior, so it keeps coming back …
…and even worse, it further damages your relationship and traps you in a never-ending reactivity spiral with your dog.
THIS IS YOUR TURNING POINT ✋
🚫 SAY NO to the constant stress, overwhelm and frustration from trying to fix your dog with trust-leaking behavior training that doesn’t address the root causes of reactivity.
⛔️ SAY GOODBYE to the constant struggle of trying, but failing, to manage your dog’s reactivity, meltdowns, stress barking, over-arousal, shutdowns, refusals, obsessions, or anxiety.
💚🐾✨ SAY YES a peaceful, joyful relationship with your dog, and a life of trust, connection and cooperation.
It’s time to break free of the reactivity spiral, and experience real, lasting change.
After years of study and working with thousands of dogs and their families, we have cracked the code and are able to consistently and reliably help dog moms break free of this overwhelming spiral, for good.

I can’t wait to share this journey with you and help you create the peaceful, joyful relationship with your dog that you both deserve! xo
My students were struggling ...
When I first said yes to my dog friends that asked me for help to achieve the same success and the partnerships I had with my dogs, I had no idea how hard it was going to become.
My students struggled because their dogs, even though well trained in obedience, couldn’t handle ordinary life outside of a controlled training environment. The dogs had no self-regulation, and the dog moms easily lost connection with their dogs.
My quest to better help these devoted dog moms and their dogs steered me onto a path of deeper discovery to understand why my relationships with my own dogs were so different.
Why was I so successful with my dogs …
… in everyday life, on our traveling-the-country adventures, in dog sports like agility and herding – all without concern about ‘distractions’? And without focusing on training obedience and micromanaging my dogs?
The thing is, my dogs were attentive to me without any prompting, they loved when I called them, they naturally walked together with me on and off leash, they didn’t get over-aroused and unruly around things that triggered most other dogs.
In order to better understand my students’ struggle with their well-trained but reactive and easily over-aroused dogs, I experimented with raising my border collie puppy with lots more positive training of ‘life skills’ than was normal for me. That was a real eye-opener! Phoenix was my greatest teacher and the inspiration to develop my partnership lifestyle method – through blood, sweat and tears, as the saying goes.
Word got around, and my clients drove 2 to 6 hours each way for their holistic relationship repair sessions with me. My client list included professional dog trainers and behavior specialists, veterinarians, breeders, and experienced dog women who had ‘done everything right’ for their own dogs, or for their clients … but weren’t able to overcome the over-arousal and reactivity struggles, in spite of their extensive knowledge and experience with dog training and behavior modification.
And then …
My small farm in northern Illinois became a busy beacon for those who had exhausted all other training avenues, needing to start over with their dogs, and for those that wanted to get started right. 🐾💕
I had a proven system that worked consistently well for my students and clients, earning referrals from veterinarians, dog trainers, behaviorists, and from happy clients inspiring their dog friends to want THAT relationship with their own dogs!
Now, I was ready for the next phase of my work: to share the power of partnership with dog moms around the world.
I am eager to be your guide and help you get started!
For the love of dogs,
Kathy xo

~Bettina, with Murphy, Mary and Bear
“Kicked out of obedience class … to brilliant partners!”
"After being kicked out of obedience class, and failing reactive dog class, I found Kathy Kawalec. Instead of focusing on obedience and training, we breathed a sigh of relief and began focusing on appreciating each other and observing and listening to each other. Life since is a daily delight with my girl!”
~Jane and Skye
“I never dreamed this was possible!”
"After adopting Bella who was reactive to EVERYTHING, I never dreamed I would be hiking with BOTH of my dogs, enjoying nature without constantly scanning, and I love having the tools I learned in BPA to keep my little pack safe, calm and happy!"
~Terri and Bella
“It feeds our souls - not my ego.”
“My dream agility puppy was OCD, over-aroused and uncontrollable on walks and in the agility building. Now, we live in partnership because who I am for my dogs comes from my desire to live with my dogs in a way that feeds our souls - not my ego."
~Kim with Summit
“Our relationship is 90% joyful, loving and fun.”
"We enjoy our walks and adventures and cuddles. I trust her so she is off lead and exploring so much more which she loves. My relationship with Jess is 90% joyful, loving and fun, rather than 90% worried, stressed, upset and frustrated like before."
~Erin with Jess
“I love my boy with all my heart!”
"We had a rocky start and when nothing was working, I regretted getting him. Finally, through Kathy's program, I had a mindset breakthrough that changed everything with my dog.
I don't cry with frustration anymore. I love my boy with all my heart and he now comes running to me with a smile that is something I cherish and makes me cry with joy. "
~Lori with Cabo
“Is this the same dog?”
"Is this the same dog that threw herself at the patio door with manic barking that drove me to exhaustion? What I love about my life with Freya now is the feeling of partnership.
I get such a thrill when I go outside to check on her in the garden, and she immediately looks at me, and if I need her to come in, she skips happily along at my side. My heart feels lighter, and I am in awe about how amazing she is."
~Pauline with Freya
“Beyond anything I ever imagined!”
"I am no longer an anxious ball of nerves on walks. The progress we have made is beyond anything I had ever imagined possible.
We no longer chase wildlife, joggers or cyclists and we can walk where other dogs are and remain relaxed and connected with each other -- on leash and off!"
~Ros with Phoebe, Myrtle and Ekko

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this Reactivity Revolution workshop bundle for?
This workshop is perfect for dog moms struggling with reactivity, expressed through behaviors like pulling, lunging, barking excessively, chasing, anxiety, or shutting down. It's also ideal for those feeling overwhelmed by traditional training methods and looking for a holistic, connection-based approach. Whether you're a new or experienced dog mom, this workshop is tailored to help you build a deeper, cooperative relationship with your dog ... even if you have tried 'everything' and nothing has worked.
Who is this workshop NOT for?
Dog moms looking for a quick fix of their dog's behavior instead of nurturing lifelong natural cooperation; or those looking for a dog training or behavior modification technique that focuses on getting dogs to do what we want without high regard for the dog's deeper needs and preferences; or a dog mom who is not interested in exploring a personal development growth mindset while staying curious about how to be a brilliant partner for and with their dogs.
What will I learn in this workshop?
You'll learn how to understand and address the root causes of reactivity using a heart-centered, science-based approach that does not focus on obedience or on training away behaviors. This workshop covers creating a safe and regulated environment, building a trusting partnership without relying on traditional obedience training, and implementing practical strategies for lasting change. You'll leave with a clear plan to foster a cooperative, trusting relationship with your dog.
Do I need any prior experience or skills?
No prior experience is necessary! This workshop is designed to guide participants of all levels, from beginners to those with more experience, through the process of understanding and transforming reactivity in dogs. We focus on practical, easy-to-apply strategies that anyone can implement.
How interactive is the workshop? Will I get personalized feedback?
The workshop is highly interactive, featuring live Q&A mentoring sessions where you can ask questions and receive personalized feedback from our expert, Kathy. Additionally, you'll have opportunities to engage with fellow participants in our private online community, sharing experiences and receiving support.
What if I can't attend the Live sessions?
No worries! If you can't make the live sessions, you'll have ongoing access to all replays and resources, for a minimum of one year. This means you can watch the sessions at your own pace and revisit the material whenever you need a refresher. [Note: BPA and RRI members get free access to the live workshop and replays until the workshop ends on August 31st.]
What makes this workshop different from dog training classes and courses?
What sets our workshop apart is the unique combination of heart-centered, science-based approaches and Kathy's extensive experience in dog behavior and relationship building. Unlike traditional training methods that focus on obedience and behavior modification, this workshop emphasizes building a trusting, cooperative partnership with your dog. Kathy's proven strategies and compassionate guidance ensure a transformative experience for both you and your dog.
Will there be any resources or tools provided?
Absolutely! You'll receive a detailed workbook with implementation exercises, access to a private online community for ongoing support, and access to all replays and workshop materials. These resources are designed to help you continue your journey towards a joyful, peaceful partnership with your dog.
Is there a money-back guarantee if I'm not satisfied with the workshop?
Yes, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the workshop, you can request a full refund within 7 days of the start of the event. We're confident that you'll find the workshop valuable, but we want you to feel completely assured in your investment.
But seriously, why are you doing all of this for such a low cost?
Our main motivation to do this workshop is to better support our members in our Brilliant Dog Foundation Builders $7/mo membership, and in our $49/mo Brilliant Partners Academy coaching membership, and our Relationship Rehab Intensive 12-week coaching program ($497).
There's something so magical and special about a live experience like this that helps our members stay inspired and helps them to fill any gaps in their understanding. And it gives us an opportunity to continue to level up our teaching content as we spread the ripples of what is possible with a true and brilliant partnership to dog moms who may be struggling right now with their dog -- or who just love the idea of kind, compassionate, consensual, and loving cooperation with their dogs instead of relying on training, rewards, behavior modification or corrections.
We will also offer the opportunity to continue to work with us in one of our established programs (mentioned above) to the dog moms in this workshop. Of course, there is absolutely no obligation or pressure of any kind, that would not be aligned with our core values. But, we would absolutely LOVE to support every dog mom who can use a kind and caring guide on this journey to brilliant partnership.
Kathy and the Dancing Hearts team are committed to the vision of a safe, calm and happy life for dogs and those who care for them as deeply as we do. The success of our members is our passion and our mission. xo
