A kinder way to train.
Kindness first – no guilt, pressure or overwhelm - we value empathy and understanding over correction and quick fixes.
Our approach combines games-based training, simple daily shifts, and empathy-led coaching that works with your dog’s unique personality. We help you teach your dog concepts like calmness, focus, and confidence – without punishment, fear or force.
This isn’t about a quick-fix – it’s a gentler way to train for long-term change that feels good for both of you.
Empathy-Led
Rooted in empathy and built on mutual respect, we create a safe space where both dog and guardian can grow together.
Real-life Results
Simple, sustainable strategies, practised consistently, lead to lasting results.
Fun, Games-based Learning
Games-based learning keeps training engaging for both dogs and guardians, making progress feel good.
TESTIMONIALS
Real stories from real people (& pups!)
“The one to one training was really well prepared and easy to follow, and most importantly the games Claire taught me have helped build Siena’s confidence… Claire's support is great every step of the way…”
Lucy & Siena
“...Claire has been a lifesaver. She was so kind, understanding and patient… Claire's strategies are fun and easy. By playing games at home Tod quickly learnt to ignore distractions and to settle and his recall improved massively.”
Lorna & Tod
“...Calm Dog Coaching worked wonders for our Winnie. Used to always bark at the window and pull on lead, as well as struggling to settle at home. Now she never pulls is able to settle and only occasionally barks...”
