A brilliant weekend in Yorkshire 😎

A huge thank you to Julie Rumsey for inviting me up to spend two days working with a fantastic group of dogs and handlers.

And what a lovely variety of dogs! Malinois, German Shepherds, Australian Cattle Dogs… a few particular favourites of mine..

Throughout the weekend, we explored putting relationship and communication at the centre of our obedience training. Looking beyond simply teaching exercises and thinking about how we can develop dogs who genuinely enjoy the work, understand what we’re asking and want to take part.

For me, good obedience isn’t just about the finished picture. It’s about the feeling behind it. The enthusiasm, confidence, joy and willingness that we develop through the way we teach and communicate with our dogs.

It was wonderful to see the progress being made across the weekend, with plenty of laughter, some lovely moments between dogs and handlers, and a really positive atmosphere throughout. The feedback from everyone has been absolutely lovely, too.

Thank you to everyone who came along, embraced the ideas and contributed to such an enjoyable couple of days. And a special thank you to Julie for organising and hosting!

I’m available for workshops and seminars covering competitive obedience, IGP, detection and the relationship-led approach that sits at the heart of all my training.

A really lovely reflection following two days of teaching at Found It Scent & Trail this weekend.

One of the things I love most about teaching is watching handlers begin to recognise just how much their own emotions, expectations and communication influence the dogs in front of them.

We spent a lot of time this weekend looking beyond the technical aspects of training, exploring the relationship between dog and handler, how we make our dogs feel, and how small changes in ourselves can make an enormous difference to the picture.

Every dog is different, every partnership is different, and understanding what each individual needs is such an important part of the process.

For me, the relationship is always at the centre of everything. The technical training matters, of course, but how the dog feels about working with us, and how we communicate with them, matters just as much.

It’s lovely to see these conversations continuing beyond the training field, and to see handlers taking the time to reflect on their own part in the partnership.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the weekend, and to Karolina Found It Scent & Trail for hosting me. ❤️

For anyone interested in exploring this approach further, I’ll be holding my own Relationship and Communication within Dog Sport Training workshop at Deliverance Dogs in November.

I’m also available for seminars and workshops hosted by clubs and training groups.

Bart has so much character, and this photo makes me smile every time I look at it.

Show me your dogs’ funniest or most endearing expressions in the comments. 🥰

What does it take to build a dog who wants to work with you and can still listen when the feelings get big?

How we play, reward, guide and communicate all contribute to that picture. So does the emotional atmosphere we create when we’re together.

On my Relationship and Communication within Dog Sport Training day, we’ll explore how these things connect—and how to apply them to your own dog.

Through discussion and practical sessions, we’ll look at building desire, developing understanding and teaching control while keeping the relationship at the centre.

Open to all dog sports and levels, with handler and spectator places available.

📅 Saturday 14 November | 10am–5pm
📍 Deliverance Dogs, near Castle Combe, Wiltshire
Handler £95 | Spectator £50

This photo was taken while Kali and I were receiving our critique after our IGP1 obedience routine.

I love this moment. The routine is finished, we’re listening to the judge, and there’s this lovely, soft connection between us.

That relationship sits at the centre of everything I do with my dogs, and it’s what we’ll be exploring at my upcoming workshop.

NEW DATE FOR — Relationship and Communication within Dog Sport Training

📅 Saturday 14 November | 10am–5pm
📍 Deliverance Dogs, near Castle Combe, Wiltshire

Every dog brings something different to training. Some bring huge enthusiasm and need help finding control. Others need us to find what excites them, build confidence, or make the work easier to understand.

Recognising what the dog in front of you needs, and adapting how you work together, is central to my approach.

This workshop is a chance to take a closer look at your own partnership: how you play, reward, guide and respond to your dog, and how those interactions shape your sport training.

We’ll combine theory and discussion with individual practical sessions, applying the ideas to each dog and handler.

All dog sports and levels of experience are welcome. Spectators will be included in the discussion throughout the day.

Handler places: £95
Spectator places: £50
Limited handler spaces.

Your dog can know all the exercises….but how does it feel to train together?

That’s what we’ll be exploring at my Relationship and Communication within Dog Sport Training workshop on Saturday 10 October.

How do we build a dog who wants to participate? How do we make our communication clearer? And how does our own emotional state influence the dog in front of us?

These things run through every part of our training, from the way we play together to the way we step into a competition ring.

The day will combine an in-depth discussion of the approach with practical work with the handler dogs, connecting the ideas to real training situations.

Spectators will be included throughout the day, so you can come without your dog and still take plenty back to your own training.

📍 Deliverance Dogs, near Castle Combe, Wiltshire
📅 Saturday 10 October | 10am–5pm
🐾 Handler places £95 | Spectator places £50

Places are available, and you can book here:
