Stop Pulling Workshop
No more being pulled from pillar to post
Walking your dog should feel enjoyable - not like a battle of wills or a full blown workout. My four-week Loose Lead Walking Workshop is designed to help you swap stressful strolls for calm, connected walks where you and your dog move as a team.
Loose Lead Walking Workshop
This is a focused, four-week programme designed to tackle one of the most common struggles dog owners face: lead pulling.
Whether your dog has always been strong on the lead, or you’ve just never managed to make loose lead walking stick, this workshop gives you the clarity, skills, and support to create real change. Across four structured, indoor sessions, you’ll discover:
- Why lead pulling happens, and how to break the pattern for good
- Practical strategies for teaching your dog to walk calmly by your side in everyday situations
- How to build focus and engagement on walks, even with distractions
- The role of equipment — what helps, what hinders, and how to choose what’s right for you
- Simple routines you can use immediately to make walks easier, less stressful, and more enjoyable
This workshop is a targeted, step-by-step approach for owners who want to move beyond frustration and enjoy walks again.

✔ Those that are tired of being pulled & dragged

Welcome to Dogwarts K9 Academy — where stressed-out dog parents finally overcome training struggles and fall back in love with their dogs through pressure-free, fun techniques that deliver real, lasting results.
While I help dogs of all breeds, I specialise in Cockapoos and cases of reactivity and anxiety — supporting these sensitive pups and their guardians to transform challenging behaviours into calm confidence.
When you work with me, you get the kind of training your dog would choose if they could pick — because my approach teaches you to truly understand your dog, speak their language, and uncover the real meaning behind their behaviour. This creates an unbreakable bond of trust that unlocks incredible progress — results that don’t just meet expectations, they surpass them.
I never use aversive methods or intimidation — you can trust that your training will always be judgement-free, pressure-free, and fear-free. Instead, I teach fun, engaging techniques your dog relates to and enjoys, putting the joy back into your training sessions and making your results truly unstoppable.
Together, we break it all down — discovering your dog’s go-to responses, uncovering hidden triggers (which might surprise you), and rebuilding hope and harmony into your lives.
From Cockapoos who struggle with reactivity and anxiety, to dogs of all breeds facing noise sensitivity, separation issues, lead reactivity, and more, I’ve helped countless dogs reshaped and rebuild their emotional wellbeing. Through our compassionate approach, we help your dog live with less anxiety or reactivity so they can experience more adventures with you by their side.
