CANINE CONFIDENCE is CLOSING!

Canine Confidence has been my business for more than 10 years but all great things evolve and grow - and the time has come to officially close the doors. I have loved everything about this work - mostly because of the incredible people I have had the pleasure of working with over the past decade or so and I wanted to thank every one of you for your support. 

Canine Confidence Academy will remain here to give legacy access to those of you who have a Canine Confidence course - and you can still access your stuff by logging in at the top of the page. 

I am not retiring however! I am continuing my work with canine professionals and I have joined forces with the awesome Michelle Dart to create HeartDog, where our focus will be on wellbeing for dogs, their people and the professionals who support them. We are committed to choice-based training, activities that build relationship and connection with our animals, and support for both ends of the lead and for canine professionals. 

We will be offering courses, resources and coaching for canine professionals and enthusiasts, as well as lots of free content. Please do join us as we develop our new business at: 

Heart Dog Trainers

APPROVED COACHES

HeartDog is focusing on support for canine professionals and enthusiasts but if you are looking for training for your own dog or you are here because you are finding your dog's behaviour challenging, and you would like one to one support with that, I recommend you reach out to one of my Your End of the Lead (YEL) Approved Coaches.

They are well qualified practitioners, trainers and behaviourists, who have studied personally with me and been awarded my YEL Approved Coach status to show that they understand and use the holistic approaches that I advocate.

They are based around the UK and in Europe and provide a full range of services, including one to one and group support, in a range of specialisms. Most of them work virtually as well as in person.

Please reach out to one of them and get the support you are looking for.
