what we stand for
Three values underpin everything we do:
supportive
We are a welcoming, friendly, and approachable organisation that values the well-being and success of those we support. Whether through guidance, education, or practical help, we are committed to helping both people and dogs thrive.
Collaborative
We believe in learning from one another and working together across roles, including professionals, veterinary teams and dog owners. By fostering strong partnerships, we create a united, ethical approach to canine behaviour and training.
Progressive
We stay at the forefront of science-led, ethical, and welfare-focused methods. By championing best practices and advocating for industry regulation, we help raise standards and improve outcomes for dogs and those who support them.

In a field obsessed with novelty, we dare to ask: What if were overlooking the obvious? Prepare to question your assumptions and confront uncomfortable truths about our approach to helping dogs and guardians with separation issues.
