🌿 Calm & Connected

Practical Workshop for Easily Excited Dogs

Next class Friday 1st May and the 2nd May

Limited to 4 dogs | Introductory Price £85

If your dog:

• Gets fizzy getting out of the car

• Struggles to settle around other dogs

• Is brilliant at home but distracted elsewhere

• Feels like they “tip over” quickly

• Seems to "go deaf" and is unable to listen

This workshop is designed for you.

We begin before your dog even enters the arena — working from the car park to build calm arrivals and reduce that initial spike of excitement.

Inside our enclosed sand school, each dog will:

• Explore the space at their own pace

• Show us what motivates them

• Practise simple, practical regulation games

• Learn how to reconnect after excitement

• Gradually work around other dogs in a structured and supportive way

This isn’t about drilling obedience.

It’s about helping your dog:

✔ Stay connected in stimulating environments

✔ Recover more quickly from excitement

✔ Build calmer presence around other dogs

✔ Feel easier to handle in real life

How the Workshop Runs

Dogs will work in short, structured sessions.

When it isn’t their turn, dogs will return to their vehicles to rest.

This helps prevent overstimulation and keeps the session calm and productive for everyone.

Owners will spend time observing other dogs as well — this is a valuable part of the learning process.

This is not 2.5 hours of continuous training. The pacing is deliberate and designed to support regulation and recovery.

Progression is guided by the dogs present on the day.

• Can settle comfortably in a vehicle for 10–20 minutes between turns
