Real progress is made when you get clear, simple steps and understand why they're important steps to take.

Michael & Ida were wonderful clients to work with and they saw progress with triggers both out and about, and at home (out of the window!) during our time together.

Ever feel like training is just one more thing on your already overflowing plate? 🌀
The tips, the drills, the endless “you shoulds”... exhausting.

Calm connection isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing different. 🌿

Here’s what it really means ⬇️
✨ Interrupting spirals instead of shouting.
✨ Softening your signals so your dog feels safe.
✨ Adding 5-minute calm routines you both enjoy.
✨ Bouncing back from bad days without guilt.
✨ Creating trust through predictability.
✨ Noticing your dog, and being noticed in return.
✨ Walking the path together, not striving for perfection.

If this is what you’ve been craving, join me live for my free masterclass:

Day 2 Reset – The Calm Dog Parent.

When you’re stressed, your puppy feels it. When you’re calm, they can breathe too.

Ever feel like you’re shouting into the wind?

At home your puppy listens… outside you disappear.

You’re not failing. Chaos isn’t a personality flaw, it’s nervous-system overload (yours and theirs).

Inside my free 4-day Calm Connection Challenge, we practise tiny resets that:
✨ Bring your dog’s focus back in busy places.
✨ Regulate your nervous system so they can mirror it.
✨ Fit into your real life.

When you’re in the thick of puppy chaos or a reactive dog phase, it can feel like nothing is working.

You’ve tried the training tips. You’ve changed the food. You’ve bought the toys. And still, every day feels like Groundhog Day. 🫣

Here’s the thing no one tells you:
Progress doesn’t arrive as a big, cinematic moment.
It shows up as tiny, almost invisible wins, and if you don’t look for them, you’ll miss them.

The first time your dog glances back at you on a walk.
A slightly quicker settle at home.
One breath before barking instead of going straight into meltdown.
A micro-second of calm is still a win.

Writing these down or celebrating them out loud rewires your nervous system to notice what’s improving, instead of only what’s going wrong. And that’s when hope starts to come back.

Inside The Calm Connection Challenge, I’ll help you build this habit:
✨ how to spot micro-wins and why they matter
✨ how to use them to anchor calm for you and your dog
✨ how these small shifts snowball into real, visible change

Four days. Three gentle resets. Just five minutes a day.
No shame. No quick fixes. Just the first foothold back to calm and connection.

✨ Doors close soon, join us here: lavendergardenanimalservices.co.uk/calm-connection-challenge

💛 Start today: spot one small win, celebrate it, and watch how it changes the way you feel with your dog

I cried recording this week’s podcast episode. 💛

Because calm hasn’t just changed how I train dogs, it’s changed how I live my life.

This episode of The Mindful Dog Parent is about the moment I realised dog training doesn’t start with a cue. It starts with calm, yours and your dog’s.

If you’ve been feeling guilty, frustrated or stuck with your dog… if you’ve tried tip after tip and nothing is working… this one’s for you.

Let me know what lands for you, I’d love to hear your takeaways. 💌

I got emotional recording this week’s podcast…

Not because of my dog’s behaviour this time, but because I was talking about gratitude.

Gratitude for the people who’ve helped me become the person I am today. Gratitude for being so much more aware of what my body is telling me, something I ignored for far too long.

And the truth is, this awareness has completely changed the way I show up for my dogs too.

In tomorrow’s episode of The Mindful Dog Parent, I share what calm really means, why it has to come before training, and how awareness, yours and your dog’s, is the foundation of connection.

✨ The episode drops tomorrow morning. I can’t wait for you to hear it.

And don’t forget - the free Calm Connection Challenge starts Monday. Four days. Gentle resets. A chance for you and your dog to find calm, together.
