Just a few photos (understatement) from our two day detection workshop under the wonderful instruction of Santi Font 🤩
A wonderful instructor who explains the why’s and how’s of everything he does and engages with the dogs and handlers in a way that makes the experience feel so personal 🫶🏼
I think I can speak for everyone when I say we have had the most amazing two days. Lots of learning, laughter, brilliant venues, a fun and encouraging group but most of all outstanding dogs!

Santi we can’t wait to have you back with us 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thank you all so so much ❤️❤️

💛 Be kind, be courteous.
It’s really not that much to ask 💛

You are your dog’s best friend, and here's why.

Sharing your life with a sensitive, reactive, or anxious dog is a journey filled with challenges, emotions, and unwavering love. Some days, it can feel overwhelming, navigating the stares, the judgment, and the exhausting unpredictability of the outside world.

But in the middle of all that? There’s something truly incredible that deserves to be celebrated.

YOU are the best kind of owner a dog could ask for.

💛 You are your dog’s greatest advocate, ensuring they feel safe and understood.
💛 You stand beside them through every struggle, every fearful moment, every tiny victory.
💛 You push past discomfort, face the awkward interactions, and keep showing up.
💛 You come home from difficult walks with a heavy heart, but you don’t give up.
💛 You do it all over again, day after day, because your love knows no limits.

And that? That makes you amazing.

It’s Time to Stop Hiding

Too often, owners of anxious dogs feel isolated, embarrassed, or ashamed. But let’s change that.

🚫 No more apologising for your dog’s fear or reactivity.
🚫 No more hiding in the background, avoiding walks, or dreading encounters.
🚫 No more feeling helpless when faced with another ‘friendly’ off-lead dog charging towards you.

Be Proud. Stand Tall. Wear Yellow.

The yellow you and your dog wear is not a sign of weakness, it’s a powerful symbol of love and advocacy. Every time you step outside in yellow, you are educating others, creating awareness, and helping make the world a safer place for anxious dogs everywhere.

BE PROUD TO BE YELLOW!
SOME DOGS CAN ONLY DREAM OF THIS KIND OF LOVE. 💛

You are more than just a dog owner, you are their protector, their voice, their safe place. And that makes you extraordinary.

So today, take a moment to recognise just how incredible you are. Because your dog already knows—you’re their hero.
