Reactiv8
My name is Néidín, Qualified dog trainer specifically reactive dogs, I was previously a dog walker 🐩 Things heightened for sure! So here it is!
Hey all, first thank you for the support and motivation to keep going over the past few months ❤️
My name is Néidín and I already have an established pet services business (mainly dog walking) called @WeeWalk for over two years now. Reactiv8 is a dream I’ve had for a very long time and have gained extensive knowledge of reactivity in dogs. This started 6 years ago when when I adopted my first eve

Would you know how to deal with a dog attack? 🐶⚠️
Dogs don’t go around looking to attack others, and a well-socialised dog will not normally be actively aggressive towards other dogs 🙅♀️ But, any dog can become aggressive if they are afraid and feel there is no other way out of the situation.
This can be due to a current perceived threat or even past experience making them uncomfortable 😟
It can be really distressing if a dog becomes aggressive. Obviously your main concern is the welfare of your furry friend, but there are a few important things you need to do if your dog or a person is a victim of a dog bite.

Sorry to anyone who’s been in contact/trying to reach me. I’ve lost my phone 🙈 currently using a friends phone just to post this status.
Anybody find an iPhone 12 with purple/lilac cover near or on Hazlebank Beach Hazelbank or would have information off park ranger incase it’s been handed in. Be greatly appreciated 👏🏻
In the meantime, bare with me… thank you ✌🏻
Wow this years been busy, thank you once more to all the owners and dogs that have trusted in me, results don’t happen overnight and require consistency and motivation… this isn’t always easy but when you do persevere the results show!! So a big well done 💪🏻🫶🏻
I don’t share much on social media as I don’t get much time however I have now got some more space open up to take on some more training sessions 😁
To get in touch message the page or text my number 🐕 ♥️
This is not training or behavioural correction (whatever you want to call it)…. This is fear!!! Instilling further fear into a dog by this type of tactic is only going to lead to worse behavioural problems.
How would you feel if you had to suppress your natural reactions or responses due to fear??
Suppressing or feeling oppressed is never healthy or good in the long run… we all snap, break down, or meltdown mentally in some way.
We can teach boundaries, over come fears, learn new responses and gain a confident trusting relationship with our dogs without the need to ‘dominate’.
The dominant theory has long been debunked the studies are there. Would you feel safe, loved and your needs managed under dominance, suppression and force? Or would you feel much happier to learn, interact and trust with good leadership, patience and understanding?
We are humans, our dogs know we are humans, they definitely know we are not dogs, therefore to assert behaviours based on what other dogs ‘may’ do is ludicrous. This man is ludicrous. I mean how many times has he been bitten!!! That says it all really!
Positive, reward based training works every time… I have gained the trust of some extremely reactive dogs, gone on to build a relationship with these dogs and have overcame their fears.
Love and compassion will always prevail ♥️ 🐾

Hello,
I know I don’t post much 🙈 I am being kept busy meeting lovely new doggies and their owners 😊
🚨 Could I ask if you have used my services recently that you leave a review. You can message me this or leave one on the page 🙏🏻
Some update info:
🔆The dog park has not reopened if it does I will update the page. I provide one to one dog training for all. Young, old, reactive or not 🐩
🐶For now I am only providing dog training services. I have had some really great success and have to give a big shout to the owners putting in the work and seeing the results 💪🏻
Changing behaviour and conditioning isn’t over night, some dogs pick things up quick and other take time. Just like us humans 😁
If you require any more information just message the page.
Many thanks Néidín 😊

🚨🚨 MISSING DOG🚨🚨
22/03/23
Location- Shortstrand, Belfast
Details-This beautiful wee dog has gone missing in the above area on St Patrick’s day.
Please keep a look out🐾💕

🆘🆘🆘 This was and still is the Dream 💭, to give the dogs the best stop gap living before going to their forever homes 🏠 🙏🏻
This was a labour of Love ❤️, love for the dogs .. set up with the best fencing and underground security to keep this magnificent breed safe , a few obstacles along the way meant it was ready for over 18 months before I could move the dogs here
Many times I wanted to give up But i thought how much they would love the new rescue and how beneficial it would be to their well being, it came at a big financial cost , very large loan , credit cards ,sale of household items and you the amazing public helped me make it happen 💕💕💕
I can’t loose this set up , the dogs needs it and so do I. I need the dogs as much as they need me 💔. I love what I do , yes it can be very stressful and emotionally draining at time s , but when u see a rescue dog living the best life in a new loving home it really is Priceless .. there is no feeling like seeing that dog being loved and treated how a dog should be treated 😇 that keeps me going
I beg of you , if anyone out there can help me please pm me , the lovely Paula Adams has set up a go fund me page for donations , you can also donate via PayPal. Thank you for reading

Update on our gorgeous Sen
Sen was a bouncy, excitable, typical Cockapoo. Sen was also a bit timid. Her owner ask if I could help do basic training so allow both them and Sen to enjoy nice walks without worrying that Sen might run off. Sen would run up to other dogs off lead, had no recall, pulled on lead and it was a chase to get her back on lead 😩🤣
So as a team we have worked on all these things and I added in a few more for safety 👌🏼
As you can see Sen will walk to heel without being promoted, she will stop when I stop and sit without asking, her recall is 100%, she can ignore passing dogs unless I release her to play, she sits to get her lead back on and walks like a dream on lead!! Sen will wait when asked and no longer jumps up uncomfortably when excited. At times she is still a bit timid but her confidence has grown so much and continues to do so 💪🏻
These are great foundations for Sen as she begins her adolescence. Sen is still her crazy little self but she knows now when she can express her energy and when to remain calm.
It’s been an absolute pleasure to train this little smart cookie 🍪
We achieved our goals using only reward based training and today we tested all Sens skills in a new environment… She Aced it! 🏆
If you want to get help with training we offer 1-1 sessions, training walks and guidance ✅
Get in touch to start your training journey and build your relationship of trust with your dog 🐶

Sen has been on training walks for a little over a month now, we started with loose lead training and have worked up to off lead walking. Sen is a bouncy beautiful smart cockapoo and still young so very easily distracted. This week we worked on off lead walking and passing other dogs calmly. Sen is doing fantastic, still learning but for her first try she did very well and broke away immediately when I called her! Well done Sen!!!

Hello 👋🏻
It’s been a while!! Apologies for the silence but most of you will know that unfortunately the private hire dog park had to close 😞
However I am hoping in the future I can bring this service back to north Belfast as I feel it is massively needed… so fingers crossed 🤞🏼
In the meantime I am offering my dog training services, these will be one to one sessions, working on basic training to behaviour issues. From puppy to the older dog. No dog is too old to learn 🙌🏻💪🏻
I have had great success in rehabilitating reactive dogs some of this is shared on the page already and I have some updates of recent successes coming soon.
My time and days are limited at the minute but I will do my best to fit you in asap 🫶🏻
Massive thank you to my current clients and their beautiful doggies that have put the work in and trusted in me, well done!! 🙌🏻🎉
To book a session message the page, email or send a text and I’ll get back to you. Please do not call as I can’t always answer and may miss you 😊
Many thanks
