I have specific training packages for loose lead walking skills and reactive dogs. Training is of course important, but so is you and your family’s relationship with your dog.

🐶✨ We’re turning big conference talks into real-life grooming tips!

Back in July, I attended the incredible Animal Behaviour Kent Conference — packed with amazing talks from behaviourists, vets and trainers. There were representatives from all across the pet industry, but can you believe there were only four groomers in the room?!
So much of what we learned applies directly to grooming… both at home and in the salon.

We’re on a mission to get more pet owners and groomers understanding why behaviour and grooming go hand in hand. So this Sunday (21st Sept), we’re running an online webinar where we’ll break down some of the key presentations and show how they can be put into practice for the grooming environment.

✨ I’ll be sharing how I use Sarah Fisher’s Free Work in my salon — a brilliant way of helping dogs settle, build confidence and create a positive experience from the very first visit.
✨ You’ll also hear from Sue Williamson, Victoria Shepherd, Cheryl McCauley and our guest Andy Hale, covering everything from recognising pain and discomfort to handling resource guarding and reducing stress.

📅 Sunday 21st Sept | 11am–5pm
🎟️ £25 (recorded if you can’t join live)
👉 Book here: https://www.takingthegrrr.co.uk/courses/wewereinthegroom

Whether you’re a dog owner wanting to make home grooming calmer, or a professional groomer wanting to expand your toolkit, this is going to be packed with insights you can actually use. 🐕💛

Reactive dogs aren’t being ‘dominant’ and don’t need to develop a ‘follower mindset’.
They’re usually anxious, frustrated, or sometimes not feeling well. Reactivity is an emotional response, not a power struggle. 💔
