Welcome to Confident Canine®
Holistic gundog training in Essex and online
Welcome to Confident Canine®, home of Nina Fotara, The Holistic Gundog Specialist.
I work with sensitive, driven gundogs and the humans who are drowning under the weight of “we should be able to do this.”
My work goes beyond basic obedience. Whether you are struggling with recall, loose lead walking, over-arousal, reactivity, confidence, puppy foundations, or a dog who simply cannot seem to settle, I help you understand what is happening underneath the behaviour so you can move forward with more calm, clarity, and connection.
This is reward-based, regulation-first training for real life, supporting both ends of the lead.
You are not just learning how to train a behaviour. You are learning how to understand the gundog in front of you.
I can help with:
- Recall and off-lead confidence
- Loose lead walking
- Gundog focus and connection
- Reactivity, barking, lunging, and big emotions
- Confidence building
- Puppy foundations for gundog breeds
- Over-arousal, frustration, and dogs who struggle to switch off
- Choosing the right training pathway for you and your dog
If this resonated with you, I’d love to stay in touch. Come and join my mailing list for more honest, practical gundog training insights straight to your inbox –> sign up here.
Or if you’re ready to take the next step and work together, you can book a discovery call here and let’s chat about what your dog needs.
Until next time, happy training, and remember, it takes two to tango, balance at both ends of the lead.
