De-stress, boost your confidence & feel relaxed - all while improving your dog’s behaviour!

1ST-30TH APRIL - register your free spot now:


HEY! Is this you?

  • You’re frustrated, embarrassed and overwhelmed by your dog pulling, lunging & straining on the lead, manic barking or infuriating recall

  • You feel you have zero control of your dog and worry they could do some damage if you didn’t constantly remain vigilant (dog walks are like a military operation)

  • You’re unfairly judged or criticised by other dog owners, adding an additional layer of stress to the already stressful walk

  • You don’t enjoy walks any more. The twice daily drag fills you with anxiety, dread and resentment.

  • And there’s the guilt too. You worry that your dog is fearful, anxious or bored - you want them to have the freedom you see other dogs enjoying, and honestly, you want that freedom for yourself too.

HOW MANY OF THOSE DID YOU RELATE TO?

IF IT’S MORE THAN 1, YOU NEED to join THIS.

‘’Hi, I’m Katie. I help the owners of reactive and easily distracted dogs take back their freedom and LOVE walking their dogs again.

My own reactive rescue dog Lao used to pull, bark, bite and lunge! I was constantly looking around, scanning for other dogs, people – anything that could send him into meltdown. I was getting up early, going out late, hoping we wouldn’t bump into anyone… because people can be so judgemental can’t they?

I felt like I just couldn’t go on one more day like that. So I changed it. I found a new approach that worked so much better.

It’s called Scentventure and it gave me back my freedom.

Lao became happy to walk past dogs and meet new people. We went to cafes, pubs, pretty little market towns, hiking holidays in the Moors and the Dales, off lead at the beach, the forest.

That’s why I’m sharing this FREE challenge with you - to show you some of the things we did. It was wildly popular amongst Club Dogwood members last year and now I can’t wait for you to take part too, to show you how simple dog training techniques and fun activities in nature can transform the relationship you have with your dog!
— Katie
