You don’t have to walk alone anymore

Join a community of Happy Shepherds & turn chaos into calm

There are many paths to follow in dog training.

 If you’re at the end of your tether, grappling with frustration, and feeling like you’re constantly firefighting… you’ve probably tried a few.  

You’ve likely heard enough well meaning people telling you ‘you mustn’t let your GSD XYZ’ or ‘don’t spoil your GSD’.  

But what nobody tells you is that when you’re constantly fighting for control, your GSD’s frustration is only growing stronger.  

Which means more barking, more lunging outbursts, more feeling out of control…. and not feeling a jot closer to the relationship you long for with your dog.  

There is another way. And I’d love to share it with you.

“I love Sue’s training, so lovely just to watch her gentle way and deep understanding of dogs. It takes a huge amount of knowledge and experience to be able to work in that manner. Tulip is so much better and now I feel more confident about which path to follow, there are many in dog training!”

 Sarah & Tulip

German Shepherds are perhaps one of the most misunderstood breeds.

Yes, they’re powerful, intelligent and very driven. But they’re also fiercely loyal.

And that’s why tapping into connection and changing the way you communicate with your German Shepherd is essential to making the positive change you crave.

Using force, aversives, and battling for control only damages your relationship.

And it doesn’t make YOU feel very good either.

Instead, I invite you to join me to learn how to become fluent in German Shepherd, so you can grow your understanding of what makes your dog tick and use it to fuel outstanding connection.

Step Inside Our Club

You don’t have to walk alone anymore (or feel like a social pariah).  

Join me and other nurturing GSD owners in a kind and caring support group to learn and grow together.  

I have decades of experience not only living with and training GSDs, but breeding, showing, and raising them too.  

And I’d love to share how I (as a teeny woman of small stature!) have used connection and trust to live happily with this powerful and loving breed.

How it works

 Becoming a Happy Shepherd Member gives you instant access to:  

- A private community of supportive GSD owners who get it (and are learning with you)  
- Weekly live Q&A sessions so you can get personalised support (whenever you need it)  
- A portal bursting with learning and training videos to get you fluent in GSD  
- A shame-free space where you’ll get all the GSD-flavoured support you need    

Most importantly, it will be FUN.  

We’re wringing out the fun-sponge and fuelling connections with games and exercises that’ll put your struggles behind you.
