calm & connected
Have you just welcomed a new gundog or gundog puppy into your life?or decided it is time to tackle training and you looking for the right place to get started?
Time to Start Strong
Imagine starting your journey with clear communication, calm confidence, and the kind of bond that grows deeper every day. Imagine giving your dog the best possible beginning, and yourself the skills to enjoy every step together.
Calm & connected
A focused programme for gundog guardians who want life to feel calmer, clearer, and more enjoyable again, without pressure, judgement, or having to hold everything together alone.
You’ve already tried. You’ve followed advice, practised the cues, put the effort in, and carried the weight of wanting things to feel easier. And yet day-to-day life with your gundog can still feel draining. Walks take more energy than they give back. Calm feels hard to access. You may feel like you’re constantly managing behaviour rather than enjoying the relationship you hoped for.
Calm and Connected is designed for exactly that place.
This programme gives you somewhere to stop holding everything together on your own.
Instead of constantly trying to fix your dog, you’re supported to slow things down, understand what’s really going on, and take the pressure off both of you. As that pressure eases, your gundog can begin to listen more, stay closer, and settle more easily, not because they’re being controlled, but because things finally feel clearer and calmer.
What starts to change is how life feels day to day, less draining, more connected, and more fun again.
Calm and Connected offers a supportive starting point. If it becomes clear that you or your dog would benefit from more time or deeper support, we can talk that through together and adjust the journey in a way that feels steady and manageable. You don’t have to get it “right” at the start.
This is a space where you don’t have to do it all on your own, I’m here to support you and your gundog as things start to make sense again.
Jump Start Program also Includes:
Access to your Calm & Connected video library (including but not limited to following extra cues: This way, ‘With me/Let’s go’, Sit, Down, Stay, Leave it/out, Come when called, On, Off, ‘Watch me’).
Best For:
Calm and Connected is well suited to dogs who are able to engage once pressure reduces, and to guardians who want focused support, clarity, and reassurance without feeling rushed or scrutinised.
A follow-on programme is available if you wish to continue into deeper or longer-term work.
Programme Structure
Calm and Connected is held over just over a three-month support period.
The first six weeks include your live, in-person sessions, followed by two months of guided follow-on support to help you embed what you’ve learned, reflect, and grow in confidence as things settle.
Support throughout is steady, responsive, and designed to meet you and your gundog where you are, without pressure or judgement.

Our programs are intended to help you train your dog, training your dog takes a normal, expected amount of work and discipline just like any worthwhile endeavour. Please don’t enrol in one of our programs if you believe in “magic solutions and results without work”. Only serious people dedicated to helping their dogs move forward, whatever the reason, need apply. We cannot and do not guarantee your ability to get results with our training, ideas, information, tools or strategies. Nothing on this page, any of our websites, or any of our content or curriculum is a promise or guarantee of specific results. No results or examples mentioned by us or our students should be expected as definite for you and your dog.

First Steps Consult & Plan – One 60-minute private consultation session
A calm, in-depth session focused on understanding your dog’s needs, your goals, and the most aligned path forward. We’ll explore any current behavioural challenges (such as recall struggles, loose lead difficulties, early reactivity, or emotional overwhelm), not to fix everything in one session, but to thoughtfully assess where you are and where you could go next.
- Following your session, you’ll receive a personalised written reflection and suggested next steps, designed to give you clarity and confidence as you move forward.
- You’ll also receive a light follow-up (one follow-up call, text, or email) to support your first steps after the consultation.
Designed for owners who are committed to helping their dog create lasting change, and who would like to begin their journey with a supportive, personalised plan before stepping into a full training programme.
Should you choose to enrol in a full Gundog Programme within 14 days of your consultation, the 50% of your consultation fee will be credited towards your programme investment.
If you’re not ready for 1:1 work, you can explore my softer self-led wellbeing tools and energetics resources over at Holistic Dog®, created to support guardians who want gentle growth at their own pace.
