Helping Sensitive Dogs And Their Anxious Owners have Calmer Walks

Gentle online support for sensitive dogs who find the outside world challenging and the humans who care for them.

Based in Redditch Uk, near Bromsgrove, Worcester and Birmingham. Working locally and nationally.

Big Ideas, Real Impact.

Walking a sensitive dog can feel quietly exhausting. You might head out hoping for a peaceful walk, only to find yourself scanning the path ahead, holding your breath, and carrying the weight of your dog’s worries alongside your own. You are not doing anything wrong, it simply means your dog is sensitive and sometimes fearful of the world around them.

You both deserve gentle, supportive guidance that meets you where you are. Through calm, kind, and practical online support, you can begin to feel steadier on walks, and help your dog feel safer, too.

Every event we host is designed with intention, from the atmosphere we create to the way each session flows.

Tailored Support
for Your Calm Walk Journey

Gentle, online support for you and your dog
I offer guidance and reassurance tailored to sensitive dogs and their humans.

All at your pace, from the comfort of your own home.

"Hello, I'm Clare


I help sensitive dogs and their caring humans create calmer, steadier walks through a gentle, structured approach that supports your dog’s nature and your own wellbeing. With over 10 years of specialist dog anxiety behaviour work including Certified Reactivity Training, I offer clear, manageable steps that reduce overwhelm and build confidence for both of you.

How it Works

Navigate Your Path
to Peaceful Walks

01

Initial Consultation

We start with a one-to-one consultation to understand your dog’s behaviour, triggers, and needs. Together, we explore your dog’s world and your experiences, so you leave with clear, practical steps to create calmer, more confident walks. Often, behaviour and anxiety can be linked to discomfort or pain, so we’ll discuss whether a veterinary check might be helpful, ensuring your dog’s wellbeing is fully supported from the very first walk.

02

Personalized Training Plan

Following your consultation, I’ll devise a personalized training plan to address your dog’s specific challenges and enhance overall well-being for both you and your dog.

03

Email check in and Support

For four weeks following the consultation, I offer ongoing email support within working hours. You can update me with your progress and ask any questions you may have.

04

Optional Ongoing Support

After the four weeks is over you have the option to book a follow - up consultation and continue with another four weeks of online email support.

Pay only for what you need.

£179 for initial consultation, written training plan and 4 week’s email support.

Rather than committing to a long programme, I offer one-off consultations on a pay-as-you-go basis, so you can access support exactly when you need it.

Having worked with hundreds of dog guardians, I know that when walks feel overwhelming, you often need kind guidance, a fresh perspective, and management to help things feel calmer again.

My approach focuses on practical, gentle training steps you can begin using straight away alongside daily management of walks so you can start to notice gentle improvements within the month we work together.

  • Clare has offered us much help and advice with our super anxious, reactive rescue German Shepherd. Clare is very supportive, keeping in touch regularly and offering her extensive knowledge to us in a non-judgemental way. We would definitely recommend using Clare as her knowledge is extensive and her methods are kind and gentle which is obviously what is needed when you own a nervous, reactive dog.
