Welcome, we're so glad you found us!

As canine professionals we know how difficult it can be to find a space that feels safe, where you can develop your knowledge and expertise, connect with like-minded individuals and explore your own unique contribution 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 even 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 between dog and human 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  work but it can sometimes 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 these shifts to your clients in a way that creates motivation and enthusiasm. So often it feels hard to do things differently because of the expectations of what dog trainers 'should' be doing. 

This is why we created the Connect Pro Mentorship.

Connect is a place for you to feel at home. A space to learn the latest wellbeing-focused practices from industry experts, to enhance your client coaching skills, to unhook yourself from what is holding you back and to get effective solutions to all your business and technical needs.

Connect is everything you need to create a business that lights you up and makes a real difference for dogs and their people. Find out more about it below.

You + Connect = everything you need...

-1-

Get all the knowledge, practical skill, confidence and support to become the canine professional you've always wanted to be. 

-2-

Connect with other heart-centred professionals as you enhance your skills and discover how to develop your passion of working with dogs and their families into a successful business that brings you meaning, joy and fulfilment. 

-3-

Our unique approach is focused on wellbeing for all - including you as a professional. Learn how to build a business that is aligned with who you are so you can take as good care of you as you do of your clients and their dogs.

Connect is perfect for you if:

  • You are committed to wellbeing and choice for your clients and their dogs so that you can support them to live in harmony together. 

  • You are always striving to learn more and hone your practical skills so that you can become the best professional you can be.

  • You are curious and enjoy exploring new ideas that align with your values so that you can implement these in your life and business. 
  • You care deeply about dogs and people and want to make a real, practical difference that changes their lives in a significant way.
  • You get frustrated if clients don't follow through when you can see what is possible for them and are ready to master new skills and knowledge to help them make progress.
  • You often put yourself last and feel like your own wellbeing is an afterthought and you are ready to find real balance and satisfaction in your life.
  • You feel burnt out and tired of juggling everything as you try to build a successful business and you are ready to get off the hamster wheel and create a business that lights you up.

I am really throwing choice into all my consultations now with amazing results. I had first consultation with 10 week old puppy yesterday and practiced contra free loading …. It was brilliant and the pet parent was blown away, she could not stop praising me. Got to love that. 🐾💕

Lesley Thompson

We decided to increase our visibility to grow our online community and develop our online programmes, while continuing to provide accessible training within our local community. We have greater clarity and focus in our business, this will enable us to create space and time to spend quality time with our dogs and family.
