Welcome to CONNECT

Welcome, we're so glad you found us here!
As canine professionals we know how difficult it can be to find a space that feels safe, where you can develop your expertise, connect with like-minded individuals and explore your own uniqueness without fear of judgement or criticism.
In an unregulated industry it is hard enough finding somewhere you align with ethically, but add to that the conflict that too often arises between professionals with the same ethos and we can find ourselves feeling isolated from those around us, longing for community.
You care deeply about dogs and their people and know that the secret to making a difference lies in looking at the whole picture and creating a relationship built on trust, empathy and understanding.
You’re always looking for new ways you can level up your understanding and bring the most up to date practices into your training and it can feel hard to keep up.
Not only can it be a challenge to digest all the information, but it can also be difficult to know how to integrate it into your own practice and then how to convey any shift to your students in a way that creates motivation and enthusiasm. So often it feels hard to change things because there are expectations on us from our clients, as well as socially around what dog trainers 'should' be doing.
This is why we created the Connect membership.
Connect is a place for you to feel at home. A space where we will keep you up to date with canine education, practical training skills, client coaching expertise and the only business essentials you will ever need.
Connect is everything you need to create a business that lights you up and makes a real difference for dogs and their people.
