Stress Free Dog Walks 4 week course


Are you feeling ready to give up on ever having relaxing, stress free walks?

You might be one of the thousands of people who are fed up because dog walks aren’t turning out quite like you expected or hoped. The long, relaxing off-lead walks with friends you imagined are a distant dream and although you would still love your dog to someday roll around with friends, right now you just want to be able to go for a walk without them having a meltdown.

  • You need simple techniques you can use with your dog on walks that creates laser sharp focus on you and avoids meltdowns in the presence of distractions so that your dog calms down, listens to you and behaves.

  • Focus on you in the presence of distractions 

  • You need the overwhelm clearing away and giving a clear path to follow.

  • YOU NEED TO DEFEAT DISTRACTIONS + FIRE UP YOUR DOG’S FOCUS FAST>>>

So that’s exactly what we’ll do at the Stress Free Dog Walks training course!

We’ll share simple strategies you can do with your dog on walks that creates laser sharp focus on you and avoids meltdowns in the presence of distractions so you can enjoy relaxing walks and more fun, freedom and adventure.

By the end of the course you’ll have:

  • An overall strategy for helping your dog relax, calm down and listen to you

  • A toolkit of practical techniques up your sleeve to regain your dog’s focus 

  • The essential knowledge you need to keep your dog calm

  • Increased confidence because you’ll have practiced it all in a real life environment

  • A tonne more tips, tricks and techniques for relaxing dog walks.


Your tool kit will include specific skills in:

  • Focus training

  • Loose lead walking

  • Recall 

  • Environment 

The perfect blend of a realistic outdoor dog walking environment - but secure and controlled.

This is a small group class so you’ll be working alongside other people who all want stress free dog walks. You’ll learn and practice the skills in the presence of other dogs and people so your dog learns to focus on you in a real outdoor dog walking environment. This makes it realistic.

You won’t be crammed into a training hall. We utilise all the space of our large secure field so you won’t feel under any pressure if your dog needs a little bit more space. It’s all enclosed so you know you’re safe. We’re not going to be interrupted by members of the public or their dogs. 

Sessions are on lead and so reactive dogs who are comfortable around other dogs at a distance can be accommodated.

Here’s what our graduates say. . .

“‘’We have just completed the Stress Free Walks course with Rachael and it was honestly so helpful. Rachael is lovely and patient, and also apparently has all the good treats which very easily won Max over! Learnt loads of new techniques that are so easy to implement on our every day walks and to practice at home as well, and even my kids can get involved which is brilliant.’’”
