The Anti-Social Dog Project
Behaviour support for reactive dogs and their owners
The Anti-Social Dog Project is a 6-month program for dogs that need space and humans that need support.
We uncover why your dog is reactive and discover how to help them choose calm.
Regulation and training for reactive dogs. Support and education for humans.
Is The Anti-Social Dog Project Right for You?
This program is designed for people who have dogs that struggle with anxiety or reactivity around other dogs, people, cars, or guests in your home. It is designed to support owners who feel overwhelmed by their dog’s big feelings and do not quite understand why their dog is so troubled.
This program is for you if:
✅ Your dog barks and lunges at dogs, people or anything that moves.
✅ Your dog barks, cowers or whines when guests enter your home.
✅ You feel exhausted or emotionally burned out by your high-alert dog.
✅ You dread walks or feel trapped by your dog's intense emotional responses.
✅ You want long-lasting progress that expands your dog’s comfort zone.
Program outcomes:
By the end of our 6 months together, you will:
🩵 Be able to relax with your dog: Your dog will have the resilience to handle everyday triggers (dogs, bikes, or cars) at a much closer, manageable distance without reacting.
🩵 Have a routine that works for you: We will build a sustainable daily routine tailored to your dog’s unique boundaries and needs and what is realistic for your lifestyle, giving you your life and freedom back.
🩵 A toolkit of new skills: Both you and your dog will possess a concrete set of coping mechanisms and training skills that will make life in the outdoors or with guests so much easier.
🌿 Our goal isn't to force a sensitive dog into becoming a social butterfly. Instead, we focus on building a predictable routine, a trusting bond, and safety skills so you can navigate the world together with more confidence.
Meet your Trainer
I’m Jaclyn Combot, BA, CBST—founder of Jac’s Pack and the creator of The Anti-Social Dog Project.
My journey began over nine years ago walking dogs in the streets of Montreal. Today, alongside my partner Matt, we proudly care for over 80 local dogs in Newmarket and Aurora. From the very beginning, Jac’s Pack has carved out a niche for the quirky, misunderstood, and sensitive pups. We’ve had a daily front-row seat to how overwhelming modern life in the streets, trails and parks can be for a sensitive dog who sees anything that moves as a threat. But more than that, it showed me what it does to you.
I know the pit in your stomach when you turn a corner. I understand the deep stress, the high-alert, and the sharp sting of embarrassment when your dog reacts and onlookers judge. The fun and relaxing walks/activities you envisioned with your best friend has turned into a nightmare. If you are feeling exhausted and isolated by your dog’s behavior on walks or at home, I want you to hear this clearly: you are not alone, and your dog is not hopeless.
I created The Anti-Social Dog Project because true rehabilitation requires more than just training the dog—it takes a perspective shift and a supportive guide who actually gets it because true behaviour change takes time. You and your dog deserve to live a calmer, more relaxed life together, and I am here to help you get there.

Training Testimonials
“Jaclyn’s knowledge, patience, creative thinking and overall holistic approach to training has been a game changer. She tapped into key emotional and behavioural road blocks and set us on a path toward change that I didn’t think we’d ever see.”
- Trisha A.
“She genuinely cares about every dog she walks and treats them with such patience and love. My dog, Reggie, absolutely adores her—he eagerly waits by the door when he knows it’s time for his walk with her!…She’s also been helping us with training Reggie to be a better walker, and her expertise has made a big difference.”
- Ellis A.
“I have a 3yr old , 100lbs German Shepherd named Ovie. I was worried about getting a walker who could handle such a big, excitable dog who is sometimes nervous and maybe a bit aggressive around new people. Jac has been a lifesaver!”
- Brayden F.
“She is absolutely incredible and I trust her like I do my own family. I have been utilizing her services weekly for almost 2 years now and I honestly can't imagine our lives without her. Not only do I know that my dog, Roo, will be taken care of, but she also goes above and beyond by giving lots of love to my little kittens as well. Jaclyn truly treats my pets like her own and for that, I am so grateful.”
- Kelly B.
