**Living with a reactive dog can feel pretty isolating.**

The Reativity Support Group is a small, supportive environment for just **6 people**, where you can bring your dog, practise being around the things they find difficult, and get some help when you need it.

This isn't a training class, and you won't be expected to spend the session learning a long list of new exercises.

Instead, it's a chance to **practise in a controlled environment**, talk through the things you're struggling with and build a little more confidence for everyday life.

I'll add in a few exercises and activities where they're useful, but the main focus is **support, practice and helping you understand what works for your dog**.

**£15 per person.**

A place to come, practise, ask questions and not feel like you're dealing with it on your own. You can read a little more about it on my website.

And the booking link is on my pain page.

I've been working on something in the background... The Chasing Pawfection client portal is now live... And you'll be getting a email invite soon!

Why? because the real progress with your dog happens between sessions, so I've built somewhere for it to live. Your own private portal, on your phone, no app store needed:

• My notes from your sessions (with a "Got it" button)
• Your next sessions at a glance
• The exercises I've picked for you and your dog, in plain English
• A training log I can see too
• An easy way to reach me

The video shows it with a made-up client, so you can have a look

Your details, and your dog's, are safe with me. Here's the proof, not just the promise:

🔒 Top grade on the public security tests. Both the client portal and my own admin side score A+ (120 out of 100!) on Mozilla Observatory, and the portal gets A+ on SSL Labs. These are the tests security professionals use to grade a site's connection security.
🔒 Reviewed against the OWASP Top 10 (2025), the industry's standard list of the most common ways websites get broken into. The latest review found one small gap. I fixed it the same day on my made up test client.
🔒 Kept apart. The portal has its own database and can't read my main client records. Only you and I can see your page, never other clients. If someone ever DID break in, they would see your diary, and exercises... Thats it.
🔒 Locked-down logins. One-time invite links that expire after 7 days. Passwords are stored scrambled, so not even I can read them. Repeated wrong guesses are blocked, and everything is encrypted.
🔒 Minimal by design. No ads, no tracking, nothing loaded from other companies' sites. Training log entries are deleted from the portal 14 days after they reach me, and if you ever ask me to delete your data, your portal goes with it.
🔒 My side is locked down too, with two-step verification and a whole host other other checks and balances.

More ways to work with your dog!

Alongside my standard 1-to-1 training, which covers things like reactivity, loose lead walking, recall, puppy problems and helping dogs settle into their new homes, I'm now offering more ways to build the skills that make everyday life with your dog easier.

The Blueprint Workshops

The Blueprint Workshops are practical, focused sessions built around skills you can actually use every day.

They're about more than teaching your dog a single behaviour. They're about

- Building focus
- Meeting your dog's needs
- Giving them useful things to do and
- Developing the skills that make life together easier

Some of the Blueprints currently available include:

Focus Blueprint
Building attention, engagement and connection with your dog.

Urban Agility Blueprint
Using the world around you to develop confidence, problem-solving and physical skills, with you at the center.

Scent Work Blueprint
Giving your dog's nose a job and learning how to use scent as a rewarding form of enrichment.

Plus the Loose Lead and Recall Blueprints! And that's just the beginning... There are plenty more to come.
..Also, the Reactivity Support Groups...

I've also introduced the Reactivity Support Groups... Small, supportive sessions for people working through reactivity with their dogs.

A chance to practise, ask questions and keep moving forward with your training alongside other people working on similar challenges.

Whether you need one-to-one support, a specific skill, a workshop, or ongoing help with reactivity, there's now more than one way to work with me.

Pick the piece that makes sense for you and your dog.

FREE pack walk at Foxfields Country Park. This Sunday the 27th Sep, 10.00am start, @ NN4 5BE

These pack walks are suitable for all dogs aged 16wks and up. Reactive dogs are fine so long as they are not seriously aggressive. If you are unsure, please contact me for a chat. I also don’t allow slip leads, prong collars, ecollars or any other type of corrective collar. Face harnesses are OK if required for safety (big dog, little person. lol). If you have training that need addressing, we can certainly look at that for you and advise on the walk.

The Foxfields walk is a very open, easily managed walk so ideal for those who are training and might need to get some extra distances or space (or for the pups that need to be carried or have the walk shortened). The only close sections can be easily circled around and I point these parts out to people on the way around. It also usually has a kid’s football match going on, if that’s useful for training/socilisation.

All dogs are kept on lead and you’re fine to hang back if you and your dog needs a little space. We have young and old dogs of all sizes here. People are encouraged NOT to let dogs interact (without owners permission) and this is a nice way to be around likeminded people and enjoy a nice walk (with time to ask questions along the way)

I also make sure I spend time with everyone there, to make sure we’re all having a good time. All additional information is provided when you book.

You can book by following this link and scrolling down to the pack walk section - https://ChasingPawfection.as.me/

More info is automatically sent to you when you book.
