Hi, I'm Katharine, and I am the owner and Dog Trainer at Canine Support,
specialising in Tellington TTouch. I cover Somerset and Devon for in-person
training but also offer a number of online courses.
I'm a whole-istic dog trainer helping you to see your dog as a whole;
physically, mentally and emotionally. In our sessions, we will seek to
understand how your dog's behaviour, environment, life experiences and
relationship with you fit together. I can support you and your dog to move
beyond the limitations of past experiences so that you can both reach your full
potential and be the best version of yourselves. I share my life with a
Bullmastiff and a Spanish mixed-breed rescue, but I enjoy working with dogs of
all shapes, sizes, ages and backgrounds.
It's not just about training your dog. My training style is to give you the
skills you need to understand your dog in order to effectively communicate with
each other, so you can both feel confident and safe. By learning these skills in
a low-stress environment, you will develop an unbelievable bond with your dog.
With this new level of trust, together, you can then begin to positively
associate with the things your dog had previously found difficult. Whether that
is reacting to dogs, people, moving objects, noise sensitivity, unsure of touch,
issues from Lockdown and so on.
My goal is to make all dogs and their guardians feel happy, so let me know how
can I help you today?
