We’re delighted to be attending the German Shepherd Rescue Scotland Show.

The Esk Valley Dog Training team will be there all day offering free training advice, support and guidance for dog owners.

Whether you’re struggling with barking and lunging, loose leash walking, confidence, focus, recall, or just want to chat about your dog, come over and say hello.

There’s no charge for advice on the day.

🐾 Worry Free Walks Workshop
📅 Saturday 15th August | 10:00am
📍 Unleashed Dog Park, Cousland

Imagine enjoying walks with your dog a little more.

Feeling more relaxed.

Understanding what your dog is trying to tell you.

And having a few simple, practical strategies that help make everyday walks feel calmer and more enjoyable.

That’s exactly what this workshop is about.

During the morning, I’ll work live with a small number of dogs while talking you through what I’m seeing, why dogs behave the way they do and how we can begin to help them feel more confident and settled.

Because we’ll be working with real dogs, every workshop is slightly different. The dogs shape the conversation, making every event unique and packed with real-life learning.

One of the things owners often tell me afterwards is that watching another dog being coached helped them understand their own dog in a completely different way.

This workshop may be particularly helpful if your dog:

🐾 Barks or lunges at other dogs

🐾 Becomes overexcited on walks

🐾 Finds everyday distractions difficult

🐾 Makes walks feel more stressful than enjoyable

🐕 Handler Space (Limited)

Bring your dog and take part in some of the practical demonstrations. Dogs work one at a time while everyone else observes and learns.

👀 Spectator Space

Come without your dog and simply watch the workshop unfold. It’s a relaxed way to learn, ask questions and take ideas home to try with your own dog.

Please note: This workshop isn’t suitable for dogs that are aggressive towards people.

Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the environment calm and to make sure everyone gets the most from the morning.

📅 Saturday 19th September
🕙 10:00am – 11:30am
📍Cousland Village Hall

Many owners think enrichment simply means giving their dog something to do.

The reality is much more interesting than that.

When we understand why enrichment works, we begin to see our dogs differently. We start to recognise the behaviours that come naturally to them and learn how to provide healthy, appropriate outlets for those instincts.

For many dogs, good enrichment doesn’t just relieve boredom. It can help build confidence, encourage calmer behaviour, reduce frustration and simply make everyday life more enjoyable.

During this seminar we’ll explore:

🐾 What enrichment really is (and what it isn’t)

🐾 Why enrichment is so important for modern dogs

🐾 How different dogs enjoy different types of enrichment

🐾 Practical enrichment ideas you can easily fit into everyday life

🐾 Simple activities that encourage natural behaviours without creating unnecessary excitement

Whether you have a puppy, an adolescent or an older dog, you’ll leave with a much better understanding of how enrichment can become part of your dog’s daily routine.

This seminar was one of our most popular events of 2025, receiving fantastic feedback from owners who found it made a genuine difference to both them and their dogs.

I’m delighted to be bringing it back for 2026.

Spaces are limited.

Book early to avoid disappointment.
