https://tidycal.com/m4zzn91/15min20240107115716-3qdvwk6 Welcome to Dogwarts Academy where we help stressed out dog parents overcome their dog training struggles with pressure & fear free, fun training techniques that get real life results. At Dogwarts we transform behaviour by setting you up with the skills to set your dog up fo

r success in real life situations by teaching you how to understand how their emotions impact and display as behaviour struggles - when you work on the cause rather than the symptoms you realise that dog training goes way deeper than just obedience. We teach you how to understand and recognise what you dog is really trying to tell you. This is why we believe we are the type of trainers your dog would choose if they were given the chance to pick a trainer. Because our training teaches you to communicate with, not command your dog. We help you to understand their language so you can identify the real meaning behind their behaviour, this not only makes YOU a better trainer, it also creates an unbelievable relationship of trust that enables you to get wonderful results. We do not use, recommend or condone the use of any aversive training methods or behaviours at any time, our training is completely judgement free, force free and fear free. We will never use or allow intimidation to get results, instead we use fun techniques that your dog can relate to, learn from and which puts the joy back into your training time together. When you work with your dog this way, your results really do become unstoppable. We help you to break it all down, so you understand your dog’s go to behaviour response in the situations they struggle in. From puppies to geriatric we have fun, effective training techniques for transforming struggles at every stages of life. As well as general life skills training such as loose lead walking, recall and household manners, we've also helped dogs that have escaped war-torn countries and dogs that needed help to learn that not everything in the environment is something to worry about. We've helped dogs with reactivity, noise sensitivity, anxiety, resource guarding and separation related behaviours by shaping and rebuilding their emotions so they can live their lives with harmony not fear!

🍄 Fancy teaching your dog to hunt for truffles?

Yes, actual truffles.

This autumn I'm running Truffle Hunters, a two-part scentwork course where your dog will learn to recognise truffle scent and use their nose to search it out.

In Part One we'll introduce the scent, build those all-important search skills and get your dog hunting.

Then you'll take a small training kit home so you can practise together during the week.

Come back the following week for Part Two and we'll develop those searches further before finishing with the ultimate nose challenge:

🍄 Hunting for real hidden truffles.

And no, your dog doesn't need to be an experienced scentwork superstar.

No previous scentwork experience is needed. It's a fantastic way to build confidence, focus and give busy brains something worthwhile to do.

TRUFFLE HUNTERS | 2-PART COURSE

📅 Part One: Saturday 26 September
📅 Part Two: Saturday 3 October
⏰ 9.30–11.30am both mornings
📍 Ousden Village Hall, Front Street, Ousden, Newmarket, Suffolk, CB8 8TR
🎒 Take-home training kit included
🐕 Maximum 5 dogs
💰 £99 for the complete two-part course

Dogs need to be aged 6 months+ and comfortable working around other dogs.

Prohibited breeds/types cannot attend this group course.

There are just 5 places available.

Reactive dog owners, which bit of a walk stresses YOU out the most?

A. Seeing another dog coming towards you
B. An off-lead dog appearing from nowhere
C. Getting stuck somewhere with no escape route
D. Your dog spotting the trigger before you do
E. Something else, tell me in comments 👇

This month I’m going to be talking about living life with a reactive dog.

Including what reactivity is, why dogs react, what can make things worse and what we can do to help but, I also want to talk about the bit that often gets forgotten. Us!

I chose this because reactivity doesn't just affect the dog. It can change where you walk, where you go, what you do and how you feel about life with your dog.

Scanning the horizon for another dog, changing walking routes, avoiding certain places and many times coming home from a walk wondering what the bloody hell just happened.

So this month, we're going to talk about all of it. The behaviour, the emotions, the difficult days and those little wins that probably mean nothing to anyone else, but everything to you.

Life with a reactive dog can be incredibly lonely for the human end of the lead so let me know, what's the hardest part of living with your reactive dog? I'll try and include posts that will help your specific issue over the coming month 🫶

I think sometimes we wait far too long before asking for help with our dogs.

We wait until pulling on the lead has made walks miserable.

Until recall has become unreliable.

Until barking at the window has become a daily battle.

Until the dog who was slightly unsure around other dogs has started reacting to them.

Until visitors coming through the door has become something everyone dreads.

And then we think, “Right, now I need a dog trainer.”

But training doesn't have to start with a problem.

Some of my favourite work is actually the stuff that makes ordinary life easier.

Teaching a dog how to settle when you stop for a coffee.

Building a recall before you desperately need one.

Helping a young dog learn that they don't have to say hello to every dog they see.

Building confidence in a dog who is beginning to show uncertainty.

Teaching loose lead walking before you've spent two years being dragged around your neighbourhood. 😂

Or simply helping you understand your dog a little better so you can recognise the early signs when they're finding something difficult.

You don't have to wait until you're at the end of your tether.

In fact, getting support when you're thinking “I'd quite like some help with this” rather than “I can't cope with this anymore” can make the whole process much easier for both of you.

And yes, I work with the complicated stuff - reactivity, anxiety and behaviour problems are a huge part of what I do.

But you're also very welcome to come to me before things become complicated.

If there's something you'd love to make easier with your dog, tell me in the comments. And if you'd rather talk privately, you can book a free consultation call and we can have a chat about what you'd like help with.

🐾 REACTIVE RASCALS IS COMING BACK!

I'm on a bit of a mission at the moment.

I know that not everyone who needs help with their dog can afford regular one-to-one training.

For others, it's not necessarily about the money. Work, family, distance or simply trying to fit regular appointments into an already busy life can make committing to 1:1 training difficult.

But that shouldn't mean you're left trying to figure everything out by yourself.

So I've been looking at different ways I can make good, kind, evidence-based dog training and behaviour support more accessible.

And this is going to be one of them.

On Sunday 11th October, I'm bringing back my Reactive Rascals Workshop - live online.

This is a full-day workshop for people living with dogs who bark, lunge, growl or struggle around other dogs, people or other triggers.

We'll spend the day helping you understand WHY your dog reacts, what's actually happening when they do, how to recognise when they're beginning to struggle and, most importantly, practical things you can do to help.

And because it's online, there's no travelling and no putting your reactive dog into an environment full of other dogs just so that you can learn.

They can snooze on the sofa while you join me from home.

📅 Sunday 11th October
💻 Live online
⏰ 10am–4pm, including breaks
🐕 Your dog doesn't need to attend

Bookings aren't open just yet, but when they do there'll be a limited Early Bird price of £55, before tickets increase to £75.

If living with a reactive dog has left you feeling like you need help but regular 1:1 training just isn't possible right now, this could be a really good place to start.

Pop RASCAL below or message me if you'd like me to let you know when booking opens. 👇

A quick heads-up if you’ve been thinking about downloading Dog Training Made Simple.

The introductory price of £4.44 ends on Thursday night, and the guide will increase to £9.97 on Friday.

I created it for dog owners who need help but can’t currently access, afford or commit to one-to-one training.

It isn’t just a collection of commands. It helps you understand how your dog learns, recognise what their behaviour may be communicating and work through everyday training and behaviour struggles with clear, force-free guidance.

Inside, you’ll find help with recall, loose-lead walking, focus, jumping up, barking, toilet training, puppy mouthing, resource guarding, crate training, rescue-dog support and more.

You can download it straight away and work through it at home, in your own time.

If you’d like to get it at the introductory price of £4.44, you can find the link in my Bio
