I’m Lindsay, a Certified Fear Free trainer and founder of Wild Pack. I’ve spent more than 10,000 hours working hands-on with dogs of every size, age and temperament, from reactive adolescent rescues to seniors who developed reactivity later in life.

But my approach didn’t start with dogs. Long before I trained, I spent years working for one of the world’s biggest yoga brands while building my own mindfulness practice. It taught me something I now see in every reactive dog I work with: nobody, human or dog, can change while their nervous system is stuck in stress.

At its root, reactivity isn’t a behavior problem - it’s a regulation problem.
