“Just listen and observe yourself be changed and deprogrammed from the behaviour modification world (both human and non-human!) to one guided by connection, belonging and safety. Kathy has totally changed my life with my dog. This podcast is worth a listen.”

“I wish I had listened to Kathy’s pod cast when I got my dog before going on a long journey of all the training which did not change her running off and not recalling. What has changed her is Kathy’s brilliant partner programme, it was the missing element for me and my dog. Thank you Kathy”
