Stress-Free Fun for Nervous and Anxious Dogs

Does walking your dog feel like a chore instead of a joy?

If you’re struggling with a nervous or reactive dog, you’re not alone. Whether it’s the stress of unpredictable walks or the challenge of keeping your dog calm and happy, we’re here to help.

Stress-Free Fun is a 4-session, 1-to-1 course designed to rebuild trust, rekindle your bond, and create a positive experience for you and your dog—all through fun and engaging games.

The course is held at The Old Potting Shed, Damside House, Johnshaven, Montrose, Scotland DD10 0HY

Why Choose This Course?

This course isn’t about solving your dog’s reactivity—it’s about giving you and your dog an outlet to have fun together in a stress-free environment. Without the distractions of other dogs or people, you’ll enjoy quality time while learning how games and activities can strengthen your bond and boost your dog’s confidence.

While this course isn’t a replacement for working with a behaviourist, the relationship-building benefits can complement behaviour modification plans and help you both progress together.

4 x 30-Minute 1-to-1 Sessions: Dedicated time focused on you and your dog.

Fun and Games: Activities that strengthen your bond, improve focus, and rebuild confidence.

Weekly Handouts: A paper summary of each session to help you practice at home.

Online Videos: Access to videos so you can revisit the games and activities any time.

Expert Guidance: Led by an IMDT-accredited trainer with over 15 years of experience.

Why Play and Activities Matter

Playing games and engaging in fun activities with your dog isn’t just about entertainment—it’s a powerful way to:

Build trust and strengthen your bond.
Encourage focus and engagement with you.
Provide mental stimulation, which is as important as physical exercise.
Boost your dog’s confidence in a safe, stress-free environment.

Whether you’re working on behaviour challenges or simply looking to reconnect with your dog, these sessions provide a positive, enjoyable experience for both of you.

Expert guidance from Laura, the trainer, to ensure you and your dog get the most out of each session.
