Understanding Dog Communication
We'll start by learning how dogs express themselves:
Body language: Recognise signs of relaxation, playfulness, or discomfort.
Vocalisations: Understand the meanings behind different barks and growls.
Facial expressions: Identify cues that indicate a dog's mood.
This knowledge empowers you to feel more in control during encounters with dogs.
Building Confidence Through Gradual Exposure
Our sessions will progress at a pace that suits you:
Controlled observations: Begin by observing dogs from a comfortable distance.
Guided interactions: Safely engage with dogs under my supervision, building positive experiences.
Real-world practice: Apply your new skills in everyday situations, increasing your comfort and confidence.

Each session is customised to address your specific concerns:
Personalised strategies: Develop techniques that work best for you or your child.
Supportive environment: Feel free to ask questions and express feelings without judgment.
