People often think dog training is about teaching dogs.

The truth is, a lot of the time it's about teaching humans.

It's helping people understand behaviour, body language and fulfilment. It's lending them your confidence until they realise they had their own all along.

Some dogs in these photos once struggled around other dogs, in some way or another. Some handlers in these photos once doubted themselves, and can now handle multiple dogs.

Now the dogs are helping other dogs learn how to be dogs.

And the humans are helping other humans believe they're capable of more than they thought.

That's the beautiful thing about a good group.

The calm dogs teach the worried dogs.
The confident dogs help the nervous dogs.
The experienced owners encourage the new ones.

Everyone grows together.
Under the guidance of a behavioralist.

Watching dogs become everything they were always capable of being is special.

Join our social walks 💚🐾
Watching their humans do exactly the same thing might be even better. ❤️🐾

Thanks for bearing with me this week in the heat! ☀️
We had a blast when we could ❤️ Spaniels and buttercups seem to have been the theme of the week.

I've got one training slot left tomorrow if anyone's interested.

Don't forget the social walk on Monday ❤️🐾 newbies always welcome

Dogs, sun and good company… what more do you need on a Wednesday evening? 🐾

☀️ HOT WEATHER NOTICE ☀️🐾

Guys, I just want to prepare everyone and give you as much notice as possible.

In the six years I’ve been running Greenpaws, I’ve never seen temperatures forecast to hit 25° before 9am. I’ve always managed to get the morning groups out safely, but with the temperatures currently predicted, I need to prepare for the possibility that even morning group walks may not go ahead next week.

Dog welfare will always come first 💚 spaniels don't slow down for hot weather

If temperatures are too high, walks may be replaced with:
🐾 shorter let-outs
💦 enrichment/water visits
🌳 shaded toilet/sniff breaks
🏡 calmer home visits

Anybody needing alternative arrangements or let-outs, please contact me as soon as possible so I can plan accordingly.

I will play this day by day

Thank you for understanding ☀️🐾

At every opportunity, let dogs and humans be their authentic selves.

Let them run through streams, fields of buttercups, forests, mud, and everyday life just enjoying the moment for what it is.

It’s not always about control.
It’s not always about perfection.

Because the tighter your relationship is, the more freedom you get to experience together.

That’s why communication, trust, and relationship building are at the heart of everything I do. The obedience comes naturally when the relationship is right.

Sometimes you just have to let dogs be dogs and humans be humans.

That’s where the magic usually lives. 💚🐾

Next week’s social walk has been moved to Wednesday evening as I’m away Monday 🐾💚

Quite a few of the regular gang are on holiday, so if you’ve been thinking about coming along but feeling a little bit nervous, this could actually be a really lovely week to join us as it’ll be a slightly quieter walk 🙌🏼

These walks are all about learning, confidence, calm social exposure, and enjoying time with your dogs in the real world — no pressure, no judgement, just good people, good dogs, and plenty of laughs along the way 🐶

Message me to get added to the WhatsApp group for details 🐾💚

Just a little reminder that Greenpaws will be closed Bank Holiday Monday 💚🐾

Messages may be a little slower than usual as I’ll be spending the day recharging with my own spaniels, probably covered in mud somewhere 🤣

All walks and training sessions will resume as normal after the weekend.

Thank you all for keeping me so busy and supporting my little dream 🐾💚

I absolutely love helping people and dogs through training, behaviour work, and building better communication together… but I never want my page to lose the walking side of what I do too. ❤️

These dogs aren’t just “clients” to me. Some of them I’ve walked for years now, watched grow up, helped through challenges, and built genuine relationships with over time.

There’s something really special about seeing a pack move together calmly, confidently, and just enjoy being dogs. No pressure, no big lesson for today… just good dogs, good energy, and one of my favourite parts of the job.

Honestly, walking with my packs will probably always be one of the best parts of my day. 🐾

Another brilliant social walk tonight 💚

I genuinely appreciate every single person that turns up each week. I love that everybody comes for something slightly different — and enjoy learning alongside like-minded dog owners.

Tonight we passed horses, dogs and people, and the dogs continued choosing engagement and connection with their handlers whilst still being allowed to enjoy themselves.

There were zoomies in the grass, paddles in the water and plenty of laughs along the way 🤣 but ultimately what we’re building is controlled freedom — dogs being able to enjoy life whilst still remaining safe, connected and manageable in real-world environments.

One of my favourite parts is hearing:
“my dog used to do this… and now they can do this.”

That stuff matters 💚

Also very excited for the summer socials where we plan to finish at the pub ☀️🍻

Keep your 👀 peeled for new, groups..

• Gundog-style training sessions
• Neutrality walks

Hands up if you're in!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I think I’ve got everyone booked in training-wise 🙈

My PA Robyn clearly hasn’t been keeping on top of admin duties… something about 10 miles a day in the Lake District 🐾

If you’re still waiting to get booked in, please give me a nudge 🙌🏼

Thank you all for keeping me so busy ❤️
See my social walkers later looking forward to it 💚🐾
