Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know in a couple of days I will be closing this page.
After over 15 years doing this I am moving on to new things.
I am not leaving the dog world completely, I will take on a part time role teaching and mentoring with the free will teaching academy’s Alongside that I have been offered a full time role doing something I love and have wanted to do for a long time.

Thank you to all of you who have supported me. I’ve had some wonderful clients and I hope and pray you keep up the good work with your dogs.

Many thanks

Hi everyone. I've been quiet lately and there is a good reason for this. As many of you will know, I use Free Will Teaching in my work, and for some time now, together with Kathie Gregory, the founder of FWT, and another lady Bethany Bell, we have been busy developing Free Will Teaching to reach far and wide, and benefit everyone who wants to learn about it.

We have started a Facebook group for those who want to learn more about FWT, offering free and paid for resources including informative posts, webinars, and one to one sessions.
We are a friendly group and have nearly 2k members already. We have a webinar coming up soon, focused on reactivity. Do join us at “There is more to teaching dogs than training dogs” to find out more.

Kathie will be launching The Academy of Free Will Teaching in the autumn. As an education provider, The Academy has a range of courses for those with an interest in animal behaviour and those seeking professional accreditation, including support and/or mentoring appropriate to each course.

In line with this we are rebranding our websites, so over the next few months there will be changes to how this page and my website will look.

With the increased popularity of zoom in recent times, many have found that this resource is key to revolutionising how they work. This is also true for us, we now work with many overseas clients, some as far as Australia and their successes confirm that working with clients and their dogs in person is not necessary.

I really hope you will join us in this venture, and join our group, “There is more to teaching dogs than training dogs” to keep up to date on what we are doing.

What Is Free Will Teaching?

Free Will Teaching Offers a Perspective that will change your approach to teaching animals and takes today’s canine knowledge into the future.

Free Will Teaching is how we live our life with our dogs. It’s guiding principle is to give dogs the free will to live the life they want to live. However, free will is not just leaving your dog to do what he wants, when he wants, that would result in chaos! Free will is achieved when we understand ourselves and the world around us properly, so we are able to behave, interact, and make decisions that are healthy and mindful to us and to those around us. Spoken language is our main way of communicating with our dog, backed up by our body language. Teaching spoken language gives us the ability to communicate, via conversations, the complexity of subjects that raise dogs to the potential of their species and themselves as an individual, and gives them the ability to understand more than can be conveyed with single words or hand signals. In turn, we must understand our dog’s spoken language and body language so they are an equal participant in the relationship.
However, there is more to FWT than just conversational language. If we are to teach effectively and develop our relationship with our dog, we need to understand him completely. Underlying our conversations is knowledge of each individual dog; Genetics (breed, instincts, drives, traits). Neurological and physical development in relation to age. Physical and emotional health. Historical (past experiences). Personality. All these things make up who he is, and along with environment, nutrition, and medication, informs our understanding of him and is the foundation of our conversations, because what we say, how we say it, how we ask questions, and how we share knowledge all influences and shapes the mind, and all need to be tailored for who the dog is at that moment, which makes how we use language very important.

Today I said goodbye to my longest running client. Nanook has been with me for 5 years! His owners came to me when he was a pup and joined the Home School when I ran it. Since then I’ve seen him every week near enough.
Enjoy your new life in Tennessee buddy and send me lots of pictures. ❤️❤️❤️Julia Zoe

Look at this face Love this boy ❤️ he’s been through some difficult developmental stages but is showing signs he’s turning into a lovely well balanced dog with a cheeky fun side.

My friend Kathie Gregory has some news:

I do too. I am pleased to tell you finally that I will be a tutor and mentor!

“I am so thrilled to announce the launch of The Academy of Free Will Teaching. 🤩 🤩

I have spent the last few years working towards this goal, and am so pleased with what I have achieved. I want to change the world for the animals we live and work with, and to do that I need to get out of my comfort zone of keeping to myself, and do something that can have a real effect on the companion animal behaviour and training industry. So, this is me feeling totally scared, and getting out there. 🐕 🐎

I have gone through a lengthy process with OCN London, and am proud to tell you that I am an OCN London Approved Centre offering bespoke, accredited courses for people who want to learn more about Free Will Teaching, and those who wish to embark on a career.

Living, teaching, and loving our companion animals needs to come from having a complete understanding of them. This is not something we can define by labelling, controlling, or using the ‘one approach fits all’ method, it is acknowledging that they are beings that have the same complexities as we do, and we should embrace each as an individual with his own mind. This is the ethos and foundation of The Academy of Free Will Teaching, and all the courses are written from this perspective. 😊

I am really looking forward to being part of this movement for change, our animals are ready and waiting for this, and I hope you are too.

Find out more about us and our courses at www.freewillteaching.com
Please note that the website is not quite finished, so this is what I think people call a soft launch!! 🥳🎉 — feeling excited.”

I’m so sorry everyone for not posting much. I’ve been crazy busy and as a result have had to restrict my client intake in order to give current clients quality of service and support. I hope everyone has been coping ok.
The weather is amazing isn’t it but do take care with those pets, keep them cool and don’t get overexcited and walk them in the heat.

Hi everyone, I've been really quiet on here for a number of reasons. Work has been busy and I'm currently booked up until May which is really good. I'm getting a lot of people telling me that over the last year their dogs have become anxious especially with visitors as they have gotten used to not having any. As we come out of lockdown take it slow with your dogs, introduce visitors slowly, allow them their space to retreat if they need to and support them. Don't expect them to get "used to it" (the brain doesn't work that way) but support them and help them adjust to the changes. Be guided by them and go at their pace.
