Soooo looking forward to this weekend 🥳🥳🥳

What if I told you… Your dog’s unique personality is hardwired from birth, and understanding their Functional Character (FC) can transform how you connect with them & help you to unlock a deeper bond! 🧠🐾

Ever wondered why your dog reacts to some dogs but not others, or why two pups of the same breed / from the same litter can behave so differently?

It all comes down to their FC. Knowing whether they’re a Guide, Hunter, Defender, Peacekeeper, Observer, Lone Individual or Follower can help you predict their reactions to different situations and how it impacts their emotions, improves training as each learns slightly differently, and deepen your bond as some need key areas honing in on! 💡

🐕 I’ve a gang of 3 all with completely unique FCs:
Hobbs is a Defender 🛡️
Ellie is a Peacekeeper 🕊️
Tully’s FC is still unfolding, but she’s looking like a Follower 🐾

Curious to uncover your dog’s FC? 🐶 and what it means for their training and well-being? 🐶

Join us on Sat 12 & Sun 13 October for a special 2-day workshop with Heather Stevens from and her team! 🎉

Just the last couple of Handler places left.

Our next Wardlow Functional Character Workshop is fast approaching and we are so excited!

Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October

With a barn as big as as our CentreBarks venue in Richmond, and seven acres to walk in and observe dogs, we always look forward to visiting Lindsay and the Paws & Play Team at Wardlow in Derbyshire.
The countryside in this part of the county is beautiful and there's lots to see and do if you want to make a holiday of it, either before or after attending a Wardlow workshop.
Wardlow is just west of Chatsworth House and equidistant from Buxton and Chesterfield. It's less than a two-hour drive from Liverpool, Leeds, and Birmingham, and less than one from Sheffield, Stockport, and Derby.
The Event Team stay in a gorgeous dog-friendly cottage in a village just three miles from Lindsay's amazing venue. We found ours on Air BNB, but there are many more available on www.caninecottages.co.uk so take a look and start getting excited too!
Do I need to attend the whole weekend?
Nope, you are very welcome to join us for just one day, either as a handler or a spectator. On the first day we do all the individual assessments, and some group work in the afternoon, so if you just want to come for one day, the Saturday would be best for you.
For bookings you can use the following link https://www.pawsandplay.online/workshops-seminars or email [email protected]

In the second and third video, we have the lovely Leonard! KD is very flirty as Leonard is an entire male. Leonard was assessed as a low confident Follower.

In this first video we have Flossie who is being introduced to KD. Flossie is very polite during the interaction, and she can't quite believe that she is meeting royalty. 🤣 We assessed Flossie as a Hunter.

Gillean meets Ava the Defender🐾
Here's another video from our workshop in Cumbria. This may look like a boring bit of lead work, but for those of you who know Ava, you will understand Heather’s hesitation in getting too close to the lovely English Springer, Gillean.
In this video we are testing for confirmation that Gillean is a Defender, and the fact that Ava did not react at all to Gillean, gave us that confirmation.
Gillean was assessed as a low-confidence Defender 🐶

We also received some great feedback from our Cumbria workshop on Sat 28 June and scored 5 out of 5 for most of our questions (thank you to our brilliant attendees!).
"Workshop was excellent and met all of my expectations." - Karina Simpson, attendee of Cumbria workshop. Thank you, Karina!😄
The Beyond the Breed Event Team really enjoy getting together and being able to go over the feedback, as not only is it amazing to read such kind words, but also a great way for us to analyze on how we can improve our workshops. We always welcome your feedback! 🐾

In the second video, we have introduced Willow to Willow (🤣), one of the Canine Event Team Followers. As you can see in the video, they are both enjoying playing together and it is this interaction that lead us to assess Willow as a Follower.
We'll be back next week with more videos from our amazing workshop in Cumbria!🐾

HOLD UP... IS THAT A GUIDE?!👑 PART 1/2
We had an amazing time with Jody McQuiston from Cumbria Canine Services on Saturday, and are so excited to share some videos from the workshop.
Firstly we have Willow who is 1 year old and super excited to meet KD, but stops dead in his tracks as soon as he realises that she is a Guide. He manages to contain his excitement to allow them to greet each other, but not for long as the video ends with Willow getting some serious zoomies!

JOIN IN THE FUN ON SUN 14 JULY🐶
We're heading to Naturaw in Wetherby for a Functional Character workshop!
In the below video, our previous attendees Lindsay, Sally and Kirstie tell us about how attending one of our Functional Character workshops has changed their lives. 😊
WHAT ARE OUR WORKSHOPS ABOUT?
Our workshops help you to determine your dog’s Functional Character, giving you a deeper understanding of them, their idiosyncrasies, and their interactions with other dogs.
Previous attendees have told us that they now see their dog in a new light and have a greater understanding of them and why they act the way they do around certain individuals.
Others have told us that “learning about functional characters was a revelation!”, and “it was the missing part of the puzzle”, and also “it helped to explain individual behaviours and how they lived as a group”.
Please visit https://beyondthebreed.co.uk/workshops to download your booking form or email us at [email protected] if you are interested.
