Astute Canine Doggy Delights
I established Astute Canines 13 years ago having previously worked in a Special Needs School and am a qualified Librabrian. Teazle was my first dog, she came from Dogs Trust and was a Collie x EBT. She was an obtuse dog who taught me so much about dogs and their individual needs. I qualified as a Dog Trainer with the IMDT and worked until Covid running fun agility classes and helping dogs with certain emotional needs enjoy sports and cope with being in a class environment. I have been a dog walker for 13 years and now concentrate on solo walks ( I have run groups in the past). I gave up training during lock down and have established a shop situated on a livery yard at a farm in Wiltshire. The shop is a safe place for dogs and their guardians to come and we make sure everyone feels welcome and hopefully comfortable. Ivy (the inquisitive one) is sometimes in the shop. The farm environment can be busy but dogs are always welcome. Having been owned by dogs for the last 20 years (we currently have 4) I am passionate about their emotional and mental needs as much as their physical needs. I live in a very dog rich area and want to empower people with Yellow Dogs (for whatever reason) and help them enjoy their walks without fear of an off-lead dog approaching.”
You can visit the online shop here: https://astutecaninedoggydelights.com/ or if you prefer to visit you can find Carrie at Unit 7, The Cattle Shed Units, Manor Farm, Wilton, SN8 3SP. Carrie is a raw food stockist and offers a variety of natural treats and chews, toys, homeopathy and holistic husbandry items, collars and toys.
The Crate Escape
Recognized as one of the top dog training services in Dublin by “Best in Ireland,” The Crate Escape is located in Swords. Tanya has a genuine passion for working with dogs that exhibit reactivity in their own environments. She began her journey as a volunteer at Dogs Trust Dublin, which led her to dog walking and pet care in her community, ultimately pursuing a career in dog grooming. While grooming, her interest in dog behaviour grew as she observed many dogs displaying nervousness, tension, and anxiety. This experience ignited Tanya’s desire to assist both the dogs and their owners, setting her on the path to dog training.
Tanya is an IMDT certified dog trainer and a member of Kids Around Dogs (“KAD”). Through her business The Crate Escape, Tanya runs courses which include children’s workshops, courses on separation anxiety, resource guarding, reactivity on walks and advice on canine nutrition. There is also a KAD “A family life with dogs” course for those preparing to welcome a new child into the family or are welcoming a dog into the family and have children. Tanya can help you with practical training tips and management plans. Tanya is also qualified to help children and teens with fears and phobias around dogs with a carefully thought-out accredited course.
And Tanya is very keen to spread the word about the Yellow Dog Project in Ireland!

Doodle Dogs Training
Hi, I’m Ali and my business, Doodle Dogs Training, is based in Bath. I aim to provide a friendly, approachable service to owners of pet dogs of any age, any breed and any background. I love getting new puppies off to a great start in life, helping their guardians to understand their needs and concerns. I also love seeing how activities, such as Scentwork, can build a dog’s confidence, giving them an outlet for their natural skills, as well as being fun! When I’m not teaching, I keep myself busy studying with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, attending seminars and workshops and keeping my Dog First Aid qualification up to date. I will never tire of learning about dogs and I strive to be the best I can for my clients. I’m competitive in my own life so enjoy competing in Rally Online with my rescue lurcher, Peto. He has some behavioural issues and so has driven my particular interest in Yellow Dog UK, for whom I’m proud to be a sponsor.

Sara Bridgeman at Rewards Dog Training is a Holistic Behaviourist and Royal Kennel Club Accredited Dog Trainer with over 15 years experience. “I take a view of training which includes nutrition, environment and lifestyle to help your dog learn and to build harmony with their owners.

I also have a The Rewards Ringcraft club where I help owners to learn about how to show their dogs in a relaxed and positive way.” In addition to these sessions, Rewards Dog Training also provides specialized training for dogs with behavioural issues – they emphasize positive reinforcement techniques and tailor their approach to the specific needs of each dog and owner

ZenDeLou
ZenDeLou – Helping you help your anxious animal to be calm
Are you a dog parent with an anxious or over-excited pet?
- Do you feel frustrated with the challenge of trying to help them, or feel helpless in not being able to fully understand their anxiety?
- Are you feeling worried or stressed at the thought of walking your dog because you constantly have to avoid other dogs/people? Or exhausted from your dog pulling on the lead all the time?
- Do they become fearful and/or reactive when they see other dogs or particular things?
- Are you seeing signs of stress when you have to leave your dog or when they hear loud noises?
- Would you like to be able to calm your animal in these scenarios? Or learn how you can assist your animal family member and ultimately help them through their anxieties so they no longer feel like this?
If so, I can help!
As a Trust Technique Practitioner, I can teach you how to enhance your relationship with your dog, building trust and confidence within them. You will develop better communication and be able to take them from anxious/stressed/over-excited to calm and peaceful. During a tailored consultation, I assess your pet in their environment and introduce them to the Technique. I teach you how to use it, then guide you through practising with your animal. At the end of the consultation, we’ll create a custom plan of next steps, including how to practice, and what happens during the bespoke follow up sessions. Your dog will already be benefiting from this introduction and you will likely see a change the same day.
I am based in County Durham but happy to travel (travel costs may apply). If you are too far away or have a particularly nervous dog that struggles with visitors, I can also teach you via Zoom, providing I can see your dog on camera (please feel free to ask me if you are not sure this is possible). It brings me great joy to see both animals and their humans experiencing the benefits of this method, such as peace of mind and enhanced shared experiences. My priorities as a practitioner are your animal’s needs and providing you with all the support you need to help them with anything they struggle with. If you are ready to start helping your dog find peace, please contact me.
You can see more about ZenDeLou, including the packages offered, and contact Lou via various methods as listed here https://zendelou.co.uk/#home https://linktr.ee/zendelou or book a no obligation, free 15min call directly here: https://tidycal.com/zendelou/15min-pre-cons

Alexandra’s Practically Pawfect
I’m Alexandra and I am a professional dog trainer, dog walker and house (pet) sitter based in Bexley, Kent. I’ve been involved with dogs and dog training since I was young. Alexandra’s Practically Pawfect came into being in 2014. Shortly after Rio, one of my Papillons, came to live with us from rescue – he was 21 months old and we were his fifth home by that point. At the time he was reactive to pretty much everything – dogs, people, new things in the environment and wildlife, to name but a few and had no recall. Rio, my other dogs, a variety of courses and hands on experience over the years, have all taught me so much about dog behaviour, particularly reactivity. Also, how stressful it can be for both the humans and dogs involved and how to help. I am a positive reinforcement trainer who specialises in reactivity and recall. In addition to this I am a Scentwork UK trainer and have a passion for trick training as well. I incorporate both scentwork and trick training in many different ways as they can be very helpful with a variety of behaviour struggles. I know that everyone and their pets’ needs will be different. That is why everything I offer is bespoke and designed to suit what is needed including: Bespoke in person training options (on a one-to-one basis), online training options, solo or small group dog walks, in house visits or pet sitting.

East Ruston Cottages
From experience Sue knows how difficult it is to find a properly dog friendly holiday, somewhere that allows all the dogs without added expenses or difficult rules and unsuitable outside areas … which is why she set up East Ruston Cottages Ltd. ERC specialises in dog welcoming self-catering holiday cottages in rural and Coastal East Norfolk. Winners of the Dog Friendly Self Catering (UK) Awards 2019 and 2020, all the cottages are wonderfully quiet and very close to the Norfolk coastline with many having a higher limit than the usual “2 well behaved dogs”, and many have no limit at all! There are plenty of quiet country walks from the door and many other things to do in the area. The cottages have fully enclosed outside areas to keep your dogs safe, extras like throws, bowls, towels, dog beds and toys, they nearly all have wood or stone floors and some even have outside dog showers! For further information and bookings please visit www.eastrustoncottages.co.uk or you can email Sue at sue@eastrustoncottages.co.uk
