The Holistic Dog® Journal

This journal is a great place to start and includes the following:
  • Designed to help you understand your gundog, not just record what happened.

  • Builds calm, clarity, and connection at both ends of the lead, not just better behaviour on the surface.

  • Guides you to spot patterns, progress, and pressure points you would otherwise miss.

  • Supports lasting change by helping you think, reflect, and respond differently over time.

  • Turns everyday walks and training moments into something more intentional, grounded, and meaningful.

Testimonials

love from our Clients

“We met Nina when our Fox Red Labrador was around 9months, he pulled like a tank, reacted (Barked and lunged forward), mediocre recall and was genuinely a handful that we didn't know how to correct. The first session he barked through the whole session, Nina was patient calm and most importantly showed us how to correct and work on these behaviours, after just a few sessions Freddie showed a massive improvement. We have continued his training with some off-sites with Nina who again has helped us get the correct behaviour around his excitement for other dogs and people. I would highly recommend Nina and wish we had found her from the start of Freddies training. She is a joy to train with and so knowledgeable with the dogs.”

“We have a very strong-willed puppy Labrador and had used other trainers before finding Nina, who is amazing! For us, what sets Nina apart is the fact that she doesn’t just “teach” obedience. Nina ensures that you try and relate to and understand your dog’s mindset, which leads to not only better training outcomes but also helps cultivate a stronger bond with your dog, which as pet owners, is what we all strive for. Can’t recommend Nina highly enough!”

“Training with Nina is so gloriously rewarding. Everything she says makes perfect sense and she takes the time to explain the logic behind anything she asks you to do. My dog’s safety and happiness is always the priority and we always come away having learned a lot, and have fun while doing so!”
