Mindful Living and Our Dogs® Course

In this online ‘Mindful Living and Our Dogs®’ Course, our in-house Certified Animal Behaviourist, Caroline Wilkinson, is joined by Clinical Psychologist, Linda Blair, to teach you ways in which you can live more mindfully alongside your canine companion.

The way we’re feeling really matters to our dogs. They’re always going to soak up our feelings, even when we think we’re not showing them. That means that if we try to solve any problems our dogs may be having, we’ll only be doing half the job if we don’t also know how to feel calm and self-confident ourselves.

The course is provided in easy-to-digest weekly lessons over 6 weeks – with the option of working through the content at your own pace. We cover everything from the basics of mindfulness – breathing and refraining from judgement – to how you and your dog can better eat, rest, communicate and connect.

The course content includes such topics as:

  • Mindfulness and Our Dogs
  • The Secrets of Good Sleep for the Human End of the Lead
  • Calm Connections for Better Communication
  • The Right Kind of Exercise and Rest for a Calm Dog
  • Eating the Right Foods for Health and Mental Wellbeing
  • Moving Forward Mindfully

We aim to ensure that once you’ve worked with us, you’ll find the atmosphere at home more relaxing and enjoyable, and both you and your dog will be feeling much calmer and happier.

What People Are Saying:

This course was so useful to me. I can suffer anxiety & from the time my dog was a puppy, he was over friendly and pulled towards other dogs. This made me anxious and even 2 years on, when I did this course, my walks weren’t what I imagined them to be when I became a dog owner. Mindfulness helped me understand how my anxiety was making the situation worse. This course, is so useful and through Caroline & Linda’s gentle teaching, I learned to reassess myself, be calmer and my life journey with him now is totally different and so much more relaxed.

I absolutely loved this course and would recommend it to anyone who works with dogs, owns a dog or is thinking of getting a dog. I joined after watching the 1 hour webinar on the same subject and just knew I needed to know more. The course is clearly delivered by Caroline and Linda who take you step by step along a journey of many ‘a-ha’ moments. You learn to look at your canine companion and yourself in a different way. The 6 week course is fun and doesn’t take a lot of time each week. I learned so much from this course and as a result of using Linda’s breathing techniques managed (as a complete side line) to reduce my blood pressure enough to keep my Doctor happy!!
