Thanks for your interest in our Feisty Fidos Reactive Dog Course. By following our online course, you can change your dog’s behaviour and their emotional responses around other dogs.
My name is Sarah and I’m the owner of Dogskool. I am a qualified Dog Trainer and Canine Behaviourist, with many years experience of working with dogs of all shapes and sizes!
I am, what they call nowadays, a “positive” dog trainer. That is, I like to find ways to reward a dog for something I want him to do, rather than punish him for something he probably hasn’t been taught how to do properly in the first place!
I have a University degree, an Advanced Diploma in Canine Psychology and I am a Gold standard Approved Instructor with the Academy of Dog Training and Behaviour. I am also a member National Register of Dog Trainers and Behaviourists and the Pet Professional Guild. I am a Kennel Club examiner for the Good Citizen Dog Scheme. I also hold the Expert Witness Certificate from Cardiff University which enables to work as a dog behaviourist for the Courts, assessing dogs and giving evidence in criminal and civil dog related cases.
In creating this online course, I am assisted by Dogskool Instructors, Michelle Caisley, Michelle Turnock and Courteney Garsden.

In dealing with a reactive dog, our focus in on changing, not only the dog’s behaviour, but also their emotional response to other dogs. We will work through techniques based on modern, canine behavioural science to solve your reactivity issues.

We attended the class starting 14th January at Audley Community Centre with our pup Labrador – Paisley. All of the classes were really informative and the staff were friendly and helpful. The classes helped us to learn new ways of training our puppy and it also helped Paisley to socialise with other pups. Thanks again, we will definitely be recommending you to family & friends.
