I know how restrictive life can feel when you have a dog who’s reactive, disengaged, or just seems “naughty” and embarrassing to take out.

When I got Millie, I quickly realised just how difficult it could be. Before her, I’d always had Milo, who I could take anywhere without a second thought. As you can see from the videos, Millie really struggled.

That’s what led me into dog training. We worked on building her confidence, resilience, engagement with me, and her ability to disengage from the things she found difficult. Over time, she became a much more emotionally balanced dog who could enjoy being out + about.

Don’t get me wrong, she still has her moments, she’s a dog, not a robot! But she’s a pleasure to take out now. She comes pretty much everywhere with me, and I feel confident doing so.

That’s exactly what I want for other owners and their dogs.

It’s why I’ve created my new Out + About course, to help owners feel confident taking their dogs out into the real world. It’s also the goal behind most of my 1:1 sessions and training.

Because it’s not just about having an obedient dog. It’s about having a confident, emotionally balanced dog, and an owner who can enjoy spending time with them without the stress🐾

🐾 Recall Workshop – Starting 4th July 🐾

I’ll be running my next 6 week Recall Workshop starting Saturday 4th July at 9am, held at Braunston Secure Field.
The workshop will run weekly at 9am, finishing on 15th August (please note there will be no session on 1st August due to holiday).
This structured course will focus on building a reliable, real-life recall. We’ll work on:

• Strengthening engagement and responsiveness
• Building value in coming back to you
• Gradually introducing controlled distractions
The aim is to help you create a recall that works not just in a quiet field, but in real-world situations.

Location: Braunston Secure Field
Dates: 4th July – 15th August (no class 1st August)
Time: 9am each week
Cost: £75 for the full 6-week workshop
