"I finally feel like I understand my dog, and more importantly, like he understands me. This course just makes sense." - Annie H.
"Before this, my greyhound was doing laps in the living room at 2am. Now she’s snoring on the sofa by 9. I call that a win." - Ashley K.
"We'd tried shouting, bribing, and pleading. This approach didn’t involve any of that and, weirdly, it worked." - Tristan R.
What You'll Learn In This Course
A new way to communicate with your dog
Learn how to communicate through calm body language and respectful space-giving, not constant commands.
Your dog starts to relax, listen, and look to you for guidance instead of second-guessing or ignoring you.
Clear, calm communication builds trust. No more shouting. No more mixed signals. Just real connection.
How your dog views food and why it matters
Discover how mealtimes help establish leadership and security using natural pack instincts.
Your dog stops begging, guarding, or obsessing over food and starts seeing you as a calm, confident provider.
Food is survival in your dog’s world. When you take calm control of it, your dog feels safe and settled.
What your dog really thinks of the postman
Learn how to respond (or not respond) when your dog reacts to perceived threats - from loud noises to dogs on walks.
Your dog no longer feels the need to bark, growl, lunge, or protect. You become their trusted decision-maker.
When your dog believes you are handling danger, they can finally stop living on high alert.
See the outside world through your dog's eyes
Understand how your dog experiences walks, visitors, and new places and how to lead calmly through it all.
Say goodbye to pulling, reactivity, or stress on walks. Say hello to calm outings and a dog that follows your lead.
The world is full of 'what ifs' for your dog. When you confidently lead, they don’t have to.

Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Karen, crazy Greyhound lady, dog lover, and translator between humans and hounds.
I've lived with dogs for most of my life and worked with retired Greyhounds for over a decade. It was my own reactive boy, Sunny, that started me searching for solutions that worked, and that fitted with my ethics.
I believe that dog behaviour isn’t something to be “fixed”, it’s something to be listened to. That’s why I decided to study with both The Dog Trainer Academy and The School For Professional Dog Listeners. It changed my world and that of my and my clients' dogs.
That’s why I created this course. To give dog guardians like you the tools, clarity, and support you need to feel confident, not confused.
But I get it, you probably don't really care about who I am and why I created this course... Right now, all you care about is can I actually help you?
Absolutely, I can! You don’t need to be a behaviourist, dictator, or superhero to help your dog thrive. You just need to understand what they’re really trying to tell you - and lead in a way that makes sense to them.
Once you learn the fundamental principles of calm, instinctive communication, everything changes. You stop firefighting behaviour and start building trust.
Whether you're here for a peaceful walk, a quiet evening without chaos, or just to stop feeling like you're constantly doing it “wrong,” I’ve got you. My teaching style is calm, kind, and a little bit cheeky, because learning should feel good for both ends of the lead.
You’ll find me in the Calm Companions Club and once a month on Zoom for our live Q&As. I hope I get to meet you soon!
Who Is This Course For?
This course is perfect for dog guardians who want a kinder, more natural way to understand their dog’s behaviour, whether you're feeling overwhelmed by challenges or simply want to strengthen the bond you share.
It’s ideal for first-time dog owners, rescue adopters, and anyone who’s ever thought, “I love my dog, but I don’t always understand them.”
If you’re tired of mixed messages, quick fixes, or advice that doesn’t sit right with your values, this course offers a calm, compassionate alternative grounded in real understanding.
What Do We Focus On?
Understanding the “why” behind your dog’s behaviour
So you can respond calmly and confidently, not just react.Building trust and communication
Using natural, instinctive signals your dog already understands.Creating calm leadership without dominance
No shouting, yanking, or power struggles, just steady, kind guidance.Reducing stress and overexcitement
At home, on walks, and during everyday routines.Tackling common challenges gently and effectively
Including pulling on the lead, jumping up, separation stress, barking, and more.Strengthening your bond
So life with your dog feels easier, more enjoyable, and more connected.
Who Is This Course NOT For?
This course probably isn’t the right fit if:
You're looking for quick fixes or "magic command words" to stop behaviour instantly
You want a traditional obedience training approach based on commands, corrections, or dominance
You're not open to changing your own behaviour as part of helping your dog feel safe and understood
You prefer strict, rigid rules over flexible, relationship-based guidance
You're after a course just to teach tricks or agility-style training (this one goes deeper than that!)
This course is about building calm, connection, and mutual trust. If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this course suitable for puppies and older dogs?
Yes! The principles of calm leadership and communication apply to dogs of all ages.
Whether you’re welcoming a brand-new pup or supporting a golden oldie, the course gives you a clear, kind way to build a better bond.
My dog isn’t “naughty,” but I want to understand her better. Is this still for me?
Absolutely. This isn’t just for fixing problems, it’s for deepening your understanding, preventing issues before they start, and creating a more peaceful life together.
Think of it as relationship-strengthening for you and your dog.
I’ve tried other training methods and nothing worked. How is this different?
This course is rooted in understanding why dogs behave the way they do, so instead of managing symptoms, you’re addressing the cause.
It’s not about control, it’s about communication. That alone can be a game-changer.
Do I get any kind of support?
You won’t be left on your own! You’ll have access to our private Calm Companions Club, where you can ask questions, share experiences, and attend monthly live Q&A sessions with me. It’s learning, with backup.
How can an online course help me train my dogs? Don’t you need to see them?
That’s a great question and here’s the surprising truth: most behaviour challenges don’t need me to see your dogs. They need me to help you understand what’s driving the behaviour in the first place.
This course gives you the insight, tools, and calm leadership skills to respond in a way your dog instinctively understands. Because once you shift how you lead, your dog’s behaviour will shift too.
And remember, you’re not doing this alone. You’ll have access to my private Calm Companions Club and monthly live Q&A sessions where you can ask questions, get guidance, and feel supported every step of the way.

Is there a guarantee?
I offer a 7-day money-back guarantee because I want you to feel confident in the course materials and the support that comes with them. If you feel the content isn’t what you expected, just let me know within the first 7 days and I’ll refund you - no hard feelings.
That said, I want to be upfront: I can’t guarantee you’ll end up with a perfectly behaved dog (whatever that means!). Every dog is an individual, and lasting change depends on consistency, commitment, and the relationship you build together.
What I can promise is to give you the tools, knowledge, and support to make meaningful progress, and a calmer, more connected life with your dog.
